Di-Namix
Productions
began as Di-Namix D.J. in August of 1991. It consisted of my high
school friend Chris and me. We had a huge interest in popular
music, which prompted us to start buying D.J. equipment. Our first
"gig" was a street dance in Sunfield, Michigan, which was part
of the small town's "Farmer's Picnic" celebration. Being avid
music collectors, we had all the necessary dance music for that
night (some of it was still on vinyl). I think we were paid $100
for our first D.J. experience -- not bad.
Then on the week of August 31, 1991, I had the idea of publishing our own music chart. Thinking the chart would last maybe a few weeks, I sat down at my Apple IIgs computer (!) and typed up a list of what I thought should be the Top 20 tunes. The Di-Namix Top Hits Chart was born (click here to see what the very first chart looked like)! Since
those early days, Chris has earned his Master's Degree from the
University of Michigan, and is busy in his chosen field of architecture.
I am a graduate of Michigan State University, and have worked in
the radio industry since 1994. I am now Production Director for
Citadel Broadcasting's six Lansing stations, and began producing
the Di-Namix Top 40 radio countdown in May 2006. It can be heard
Sundays at 10am Eastern on WJIM-FM (97.5) in Lansing, and online
at www.975now.com!
Our D.J. duo only lasted a few months, but Chris & I still keep in touch. My interest in music is stronger than ever, and the chart keeps going strong, reflecting the newest and hottest music each week. Thanks for visiting the site -- come back every week to see the hottest Di-Namix hits! |
