ABOUT DJ NEIL ARMSTRONG
A battle turntablist for the last decade or so, DJ Neil Armstrong found his niche making mixtapes featuring ’80s synth pop, rock, underground hip-hop and other treasures from the crate. He dubbed it his (All Out King) Series, a reference to a line from the pivotal graffiti movie “Style Wars“: “You gotta do everything: If you specialize in just one thing, you can’t call yourself an all-out-king!” Armstrong is the official DJ for the Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z Heart of the City Tour, a major coup, to be sure. So how did he get there? Story goes that one of Armstrong’s tapes fell into the hands of a Roc-A-Fella Records employee and it went up the chain to Jigga man himself, who used it as inspiration to formulate the highs and lows of his classic “Black Album." - LA Times article
