Vinyl Mix with D.J.P. featuring Ivan De Prume

On Friday nights you can rock to the vinyl mix of D.J.P. featuring Ivan De Prume, from 9pm to 2pm. Ivan De Prume, a founding member of White Zombie, recorded and toured on five records and was signed to Geffen Records releasing the fifth record; The LP Grammy nominated, triple platinum album "La Sexorcisto/Devil Music Volume One." He can be seen in the music videos hit singles, "Thunder Kiss" and "Black Sunshine."

As a drummer, he is known for his unique style and heavy hitting beats. Ivan grew up listening to a variety of music that ranged from disco to hard rock, world music to speed metal. Drummers that shaped Ivan’s style were John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Danny Schuler (Biohazard), Jabo Starks and Clyde Stubblefield (James Brown), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Greg Errico (Sly & the Family Stone), Terry Bozzio (Missing Persons), percussionist Peter Ulrich (Dead Can Dance), and drum samples on The Beastie Boys records.

After seven years of recording and touring with White Zombie, Ivan decided to diversify his skills by enrolling and completing the intensive program at The Percussion Institute of Technology. In July of 2003, after exploring many of his passions, Ivan decided to return to his first love by forming a new band, "Healer". He began composing songs with multi-talented musicians to forge his musical vision into the sonic masterpiece that would become the band's debut release, "Awakening".

He also plays with the band KREEP which is now recording a new album in Ivan's studio, Burningsound. They will be going on tour this summer; look for tour dates to be announced soon.

Ivan is also hosting a metal show on KUFO (The Pacific North West's major rock radio station under CBS Radio) every Saturday night from 10PM until midnight.

D.J.P. is Danny Phillips, a party-rocking Hip Hop DJ hailing from Springfield, Missouri. Now, Springfield may not seem like a hotbed for Hip Hop talent, which is why D.J.P. has had to work that much harder to put his genre-mixing brand of Hip Hop on the map. D.J.P. is one of the pioneers of "blending," a style that has recently become commonly known as the "mash-up".

In a world where Hip Hop DJs are either technical underground nerds or Top 40 Hip Hop jukeboxes, D.J.P. is the best of both and more. He finds that raw excitement and crowd-pleasing energy in the most unlikely of places: 80s New Wave, classic and alternative Rock, even Drum 'n' Bass, as well as the usual can't lose Hip Hop favorites, old and new. He can mix Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield" over the Pharcyde's classic "She Keeps On Passing Me By" and turn it into a Drum'n'Bass blend about love lost that gets everyone on their feet, even people who think they don't like hip-hop. His underground Hip Hop mixes of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and U2's "With or Without You" have become word-of-mouth classics with underground DJs.

D.J.P. has held club residencies at New York City, Springfield MO and Portland, OR, Seattle, WA and many other cities. Most recently he could be seen every weekend at Club Moon / Playboy Club in the legendary Palms Casino. His resume also includes gigs with Ice-T, Tone Loc, Sugar Hill Gang, Rahzel from the Roots, Cher and Cindy Lauper, The Pharcyde and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien's Hieroglyphics, D.J. Premier, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Snoop Dogg, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Beastie Boys, and many more.

With D.J.P. mixing and Ivan De Prume on the drums, Whiskey City Rock Bar will be the place to be on Friday nights.
