Wick-It the Instigator

He’s got a reputation for doing some thoughtfully fresh and mindblowingly original remixes that take him from beyond a standard dub step or mash-up artist to a DJ/producer with skills that have turned heads and caught ears all over the country. In a live setting, he sends people off with his mix of humor, ingenious pop culture samples and beats that can’t be touched. While his roots are firmly planted in hip hop, there is no shortage of heavy electronic bass music at a Wick-it show.

As the South East’s go-to party-starter, he’s recently shared stages with people as diverse as Pretty Lights, MiM0SA, Big Boi, PANTyRAiD, Yelawolf, ?uestlove, Talib Kweli, KRS ONE, Murs, Excision, Rusko, Doorly, 12th Planet, Nappy Roots, Brother Ali, Skrillex, Borgore, Glitch Mob and Ghostland Observatory.

Notably, his Soundcloud page recently hit 1,000,000 downloads.

The work that has garnered him the most attention and press to date is his Big Boi / Black Keys Mashup record, The Brothers of Chico Dusty.
Black Keys respond to The Brothers of Chico Dusty - “… Auerbach and Carney were both impressed by local DJ Wick-It's mash-up of Brothers with Big Boi's Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. ‘[The mash-up] is tight,’ says Carney. ‘He did an awesome job.’”
