The Aliz Mix Club DJ Roster Includes:

DJ Peter Parker (New York City/Tri-State Region) Supa DJ Peter Parker's ability to keep people moving to the hottest music from rock to hip-hop, his passion and commitment made him one of the most respected leaders in the industry.

Parker's major break came when the Program Director of NYC's WBLS 107.5 FM asked the superstar DJ to join the station as Mix Team Director. He began hosting industry events with celebrities like Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, and LL Cool J. These parties led to positions at VH1.com and Sirius Satellite Radio. He currently splits his time between New York and Houston spinning at celebrity parties and elite nightclubs.

DJ Self (New York City/Tri-State Region) DJ Self is the entertainment industry's premier DJ, representing the city that never sleeps and the ever-changing hip-hop community. Self's popularity grew so big in clubs that he was coined "The Prince of NY." As one of the most highly demanded DJs in the nightlife scene, Self spins at the hottest NYC and New Jersey nightclubs six days a week. Currently, Self has residencies at Manhattan's Strata, topping over 1,000 partygoers every week. Although Self's ultimate goal to take over airwaves wouldn't come easy, the emergence of satellite radio landed Self his own mix show "VIP Saturdays." Eminem quickly added the show to Shade 45, extending it for an extra hour. Self later joined the family of WWPR Power 105.1 in November 2008. Today, listeners can now hear him live on Friday and Saturday nights.

DJ Alizay (Maryland/Washington D.C.) DJ blood runs deep through Isaiah Johnson. His father and seven of his uncles all dee jayed in the Big Apple. As Alizay's arsenal of music grew, he became the premiere DJ of DC. In 2000, Alizay's radio experience and impressive resume landed him a position with Radio One's 93.9 WKYS where he entertained over 500,000 listeners daily. He began managing DC rapper Wale in 2005 through his company, Capitolville Entertainment. Alizay has also showcased his craft worldwide by spinning at Mix Show Power Summits, making him a three-time "Mix Show DJ of the Year" nominee in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. In addition, this remarkable DJ has debuted soundtracks to some of the most memorable moments in nightlife history.

DJ Sean Mac (Chicago) DJ Sean Mac may be Shadyville's youngest DJ, but don't underestimate this Chicago native! Not only does he perform at clubs and exclusive parties, but he's also a well-known radio personality on WIIT 88.9. He has hosted events for celebrities, such as Jay-Z, Diddy, Nelly, and more. With over 89 mixtapes to his credit, Mac often sells out on the first day of a release. To date, he has sold over 50,000 mixtapes in Chicago alone. Currently, Mac is working on several highly anticipated projects, including a mixtape series, a DVD, and a satellite radio show. With amazing skills as a party DJ, this marketing genius and visionary is preparing to further expand his legacy in the music industry.

DJ Epps (South Florida) Born Yves Felix, Epps was born in NYC where he discovered the passion to DJ. Upon moving to Miami, DJ Epps exploded onto the city's hip-hop scene. Epps' versatile style of mixing, blending, and scratching has solidified his place as a master DJ and co-founder of Nightbreederz Marketing and Promotions, securing musical collaborations with Interscope and Warner Bros Records. He was voted best DJ in Miami by Source Magazine in 1999-2000 and has hosted thousands of mixtapes for platinum recording artists. In addition to nightlife events, DJ Epps became involved with Miami's 103.5 The Beat, a prominent Urban radio station where he established solid relationships with 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, and Diddy. DJ Epps is now expanding his talents in the fashion world and is being sponsored by the Gino Green Clothing Line.

DJ Diamond Kuts (Philadelphia) Diamond Kuts is the first and only female mixer to have a slot on Philadelphia radio. Born Tina Dunham, DJ Diamond Kuts started her career by creating a series of mixtapes that caused residents of her native Philadelphia to take notice.

Practicing in her basement, Diamond Kuts began DJing at the age of 18. In July of 2005 she got her big radio break spinning on Power 99's Mix Master Weekend. Diamond Kuts rose to fame as the official tour DJ for Lil Mama on Jive Records. She has since won the DJ Jazzy Joyce Award at the 2nd Annual Beverly Bonds "Black Girls Rock Awards," and has appeared on BET's Rap City, 106 & PARK, and MTV's Total Request Live.
