DJ Assault creates and mixes a style of music called
Ghetto Tech, and has been championed by the media as its king. Assault’s
real name is Craig Adams, he began DJing local parties in
Detroit at 12 years old.
His mixing style is fast and furious, with lots of quick cuts and scratches. In a typical mix he will go through over 100 records in an hour.
Together with his partner
Mr. De (Ade' Mainor), Assault created two
record labels (
Electrofunk Records and
Assault Rifle Records) and from 1996 to 2000 they released many
Ghetto Tech anthems. Most releases under the name DJ Assault during this period are actually collaborations between Craig Adams and
Mr. De.
In mid 2000 Assault and
Mr. De parted ways. Assault is now releasing records on
Intuit-solar and
has started a new label called
Jefferson Ave.
