Hailed by GQ as “the most sought after DJ in the world,” DJ Ruckus has never moved slowly in establishing himself as the premiere open-format deejay. At sixteen years old, just two years after receiving turntables as a birthday gift, Ruckus was headlining the biggest nightclubs in his native Miami. Today, Ruckus plays upwards of 180 shows per year. His clientele includes a legion of loyal celebrity fans including his cousin Lenny Kravitz, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Naomi Campbell, and Leonardo DiCaprio, all of whom hire Ruckus to spin at their private parties. In addition to his Las Vegas residencies at Marquee and TAO, Ruckus is a regular at the world’s top nightclubs including LIV [Miami], Premier [Atlantic City], Marquee [New York], Studio Paris [Chicago], Tape [London], and VIP Room [Dubai]. His high-energy sound has also lead him to play for the industry leaders in the media, film, sports, and art including MTV, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Disney, Pixar, the NBA, UFC, Taschen, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Ruckus joined Run-DMC as a touring member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band in 2012. He has since played with them at shows and festivals around the world including Made In America [Philadelphia], Fun Fun Fun Fest [Austin], Jazz In The Gardens Festival [Miami], and Vodafone’s 30th Anniversary [London].
