Funkynessa’s Artist Spotlight: Twista DJ

Words by Funkynessa

When you hear the name Twista what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Dappa Mc, Sidewinder maybe…

This month I thought I would bring attention to Leicester veteran, Twista DJ. I have been following Twista’s movements for some time; he just keeps stepping up his work rate and moving on to bigger things. I first heard of Twista when he had his late night show on Demon FM where he would play everything from R&B and Funky House to Bassline. Since then I have seen Twista on flyers and giving out free mixes almost continuously.

My personal favorite mixes he has put out are “Volume 1”, “Girls Love Funky” and the “01234 promo mix” but I can’t think of any Funky House DJ that has put out as many mixes as Twista since 2010!

Since Demon Fm Twista has moved on to do a show for Rinse FM and has spent some time playing in clubs in the party island Ayia Napa with Dappa Mc. Together they both put “The UK Funky Summer Essentials Mix” this was another good mix that got a lot of attention from the scene.

I totally support Twista DJ because he is one of the few DJ’s that really listens to what ravers want to hear and delivers it to the best of his ability, His mixes are always on point. He is a true club DJ that is versatile enough to play for different crowds and mix different genres. He is also a part of the sidewinder team promoting sidewinder events and mix cds.

But don’t just take my word check out Twista mixes below..
