DJ Don X - Gugu Gaga

DJ Don X. A true new age innovator.

The first image that comes to mind when you imagine a DJ is some non-descript fellow on turntables getting the party rocking. DJ Don X trumps that. Born Damola Epemolu in Paris, France, he spent his growing years in Lagos, Nigeria. He possesses amongst many other things a calm suave that transcends being a DJ, incredible talent and an undying passion for music in all its forms. With a Disc Jockeying career that tracks as far back as 2006, he brings an outlook on music that is fresh and modern, yet retains ties to the classics of the past.

He merges the cultures from the various metropolitan areas in which he has resided – Lagos, New York, Maryland and Washington DC. With a depth fuelled by his musical influences: Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson; he has repeatedly served a wide range of palettes as far as music is concerned. From Reggae/Dancehall, to African World beats, UK Funky House, Top 40 Pop and what has come to be identified as the Nigerian Sound; DJ Don X’s limits are boundless. This is evidenced by his weekly “#TGIF Quick Mix” that has become a staple to a constantly growing web community from different parts of the globe. He is a member of The Disc Jockey Association of Nigeria (DJAN), Naija DJs – dubbed the hottest worldwide coalition of Nigerian DJs as well as The International Disc Jockey Trade Association (IDJTA) and The Core DJs. And in recognition for his giant strides on the wheels of steel, Channel O was in DC and London to record an interviewwith him for their third season of 100% Naija. Over the past five years, he has been associated in various capacities with Nigeria’s biggest acts both old and new from eLDee, to Olu Maintain, Faze, Timaya, Bracket and the official Jedi #LWKMD tour DJ.
