Watch: Swishahouse Founder DJ Michael 5000 Watts Drops a Mix at DJcity
DJ Michael 5000 Watts recently stopped by DJcity to throw down a mix using Roland’s DJ-808 controller. Watts is the founder and owner of the legendary Swishahouse record label and a mixer on Houston’s 97.9 The Box.

In his routine, Watts chops up Southern hip-hop tracks, scratches acapellas, and puts the DJ-808’s range of features to use.
Watch above.

2. Mike Jones ft. Slim Thug & Paul Wall – Still Tippin’ – Acapella
