DJ Fame
[ New York City ]
House / Jacking Tech House / Quirky Fidget Sounds
From guest sets in every corner of America, the Dominican Republic, Europe (Belgium, London, Italy, Amsterdam), Mexico and Russia, to his 5 year residency at New York’s premier underground venue, Sullivan Room, DJ Fame (Amos Damon) has continued to bring the more jackin’ sounds of tech house and electro to crowds of thousands across the world for close to 14 years. His energetic performances showcase serious technical ability combined with intense cuts, crazy loops, and other turntablist-like tricks to bring a new style and sound to the dance floor. This illuminating stage presence and a rightfully-earned air of confidence sets him apart from so many peers and makes him truly one of the hottest young talents on the dance scene.
With a true passion for making masses wiggle and bounce, Fame’s natural progression to the studio has already began to gain worldwide notice. His first solo vinyl EP was released on one of the most respected UK labels in the industry, Switch’s DUBSIDED (making him the first American producer on the label). The title track of the EP “Name It X” has been supported and played by Richie Hawtin, Danny Howells, Ricardo Villalobos, Switch, Jesse Rose, Jimpster, and many more. Over the past year alone, Fame has also signed and/or released originals and remixes on Potty Mouth Music, Loungin’ Records, NOSI music (featured on Steve Porter’s Essential Mix in 2007), Inuendo, and Dusk. In 2006 he released a mixed compilation for Sullivan Room showing exactly what the sound if his residency there consisted of. Most artists on the cd were guests at his monthly event “The Review”.
In early 2006, Fame began working closely with Gaby Dershin (1/2 of Bedrock artist Astro&Glyde) on a project called “Bit Crushers”. In 2007, the production duo began releasing a slew of tunes which have already gained them multiple slots on the Balance Record Pool Chart, including one for “Love Takes So Long” (just licensed by NOKIA for use on over 3,000,000 cell phons). Their newest projects, have been getting support from top jocks such as Dubfire (DeepDish), John Digweed, The Scumfrog, Steven Lee (Lee Cabrera), Boris and many others.
