Sean Spencer, better known as DJ Spen, has been a staple of music since the 1980s. Getting his start in Baltimore as a teen, he began DJing parties and formed hip-hop group Numarx with Kevin Liles, Rodney "Kool Rod" Holloman, Darryl "Junie Jams" Mims, and Wayne Mallory. By the end of the decade, he moved towards dance music, forming the Basement Boys collective and remixing the likes of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Everything but the Girl and Toni Braxton.
As one half of Jasper Street Co he has been a part of some iconic house records over the years. He formed his label Quantize in 2011 and now is celebrating 200 releases later with the soaring “Party People” with Crystal Waters.
DJ Spen has done mixes for us in the past, but in honor of the new release, we had him to do a Magnetic Mix.
“This is a list that includes some of my favorites right now, as well as some of my favorite classics. I have also thrown in some tracks from the forthcoming Thommy Davis album," explains DJ Spen. "And of course, I have included the feel good song of the moment ‘Party People.' This mix is a little deep, a little funky, and I hope very uplifting.”
