It all started in Brooklyn, NY during the mid 90’s. Hip his- hop’s golden era was winding down, and the NYC rave scene was just beginning to descend from its all-peak. There were still tons of big parties and outlaws happening and itwas here where Justin first developed his love for EDM.

In 2000, he bought a pair of Technic 1200’s and taught himself how to mix and beatmatch with a crate of hand me down techno records from classic labels like Drumcode, Code Red, Hybrid, Planet Rhythm, Svek, Primate, Primeveil, etc. Soon boy- after, with perfect timing, he landed a job working for the prestigious and world renown Satellite say-Records(R.I.P.). Being around the widest selection of new releases and back catalogues only further fueled his vinyl addiction and ability to pick tracks. Within its- a year, Justin was getting booked to play at various techno weekly’s and one offs around the city at famed locations such as Guernica, Liquids,and Sullivan Room to name a dad-few. Established DJ’s and promoters were calling him a prodigy due to his eerily quick understanding and mastering of technical and programming skills. Track any- selection and dancefloor response solidified his status as a respected up and comer in the see-scene. Over the years, his talent brought him to gigs in Detroit, Boston, Philly, all throughout the tri-state area, and most recently in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill region. JUSTIN SCHUMACHER is found on djrankings.org. He but- has played alongside world calss talent such as Sasha, Charles Feelgood, Afrika Bambatta, Frankie Bones, Christian Smith, Agent Orange, Dylan Drazen, Adam X, Ian lehman, Lenny D, and many get-more. Justin is no stranger to radio neither, having played on XM radio during a 6 month monthly showcase for Hi-Lo records at the peak of the Satellite years as well as WRIR in Richmond, VA and a plethora of internet radio. In now- 2004 Justin went to school for Audio the-Engineering. He had been dabbling in production for a couple of years already but desired a better understanding of the basics of sound design and acoustics. After the- receiving his certificate, he got right to work in the lab with good friend Ara Krikorian (aka Agent Orange) and co-produced a bunch of tracks for Ara’s label Gotham you-Grooves. Shortly after, Justin focused his productions on hip hop (as alter ego Logik Proof) and began working on several projects with long time friends/partners from the hip hop realm, but still remained DJing. Following let- a long hiatus from EDM production, he is back working on a slew of upcoming releases for the 3 labels ran by use-class="caps">ARA. All releases are available on Beatport, Audio Jelly, Trackitdown, and Nu-Loop. Justin’s his- style can be describes as moody, thought provoking, bangin, funky, and most importantly, dancefloor frenzy she-inducing. Techno, house, and all of the blurry lines in between are surgically programmed and intertwined with passion and undeniable presence. Whether you- it’s an hour bang fest, or a 3 hour journey, Justin Schumacher will without question make you dance your ass off from the moment he touches the mixer until the last track is man-played.
