Show and Prove with Boi Jeanius
Share

May 14, 2015

With a name like Boi Jeanius, you have to deliver on a level higher than the rest. But then again, you earn a nickname like that after proving that you're capable of doing just that. The Chicago DJ and Treated Crew member has the only mixed countdown show on the radio at 103.5 KISS FM, was named by Latin Mixx as the 2010 Best Mid-West DJ, and is an instructor at Scratch Academy. Add in the fact that he's often remixing your favorite songs, it was only a matter of time before he entered the Red Bull Thre3style tournament, which he placed 3rd in 2013. You can bet that he's bringing some new tricks for this year's competition.

Normally, we'd post a 2 minute routine from a DJ but sometimes we need to remind everyone that a DJ's job isn't to impress by just putting on a show of technical skills. The DJ, most of all, needs to know how to control the tempo of the party and keep the energy high. Boi Jeanius sticks to that script for this set by picking out great moments to transition between tracks, scratching when necessary, and keeping you guessing as to where he'll take the set next. He's essentially remixing several songs live. You'll notice that Boi Jeanius shows a bit of a bias to Chicago related tracks, but can you really blame him? Oh, and he starts the whole thing with a selfie. Don't hate. You'll forget all of that, 30 seconds into his set.

Stay up to date with Boi Jeanius on his Facebok page, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube. You can catch him Tuesdays at Beauty Bar for #Timbuck2uesdays from 10pm to 2am.
