Recently burst onto the scene, masked EDM DJ / Producer NuJ4X has set his sights on making a splash With his debut single, “Dab (On Dem Haterz)”. The journey for NuJ4X started when his 13 year old son showed an interest in becoming a DJ. When asking his oldest son what he wanted to be and his son replying a DJ, he decided that he wanted to show interest in what his son liked. NuJ4X began playing around with music, trying his hand at the craft and he found that he liked it. He was pleased as this would be a better way to bond with his oldest son. Thus, the seed of NuJ4X was planted.
After countless weeks, day, and hours trying to learn how to craft instrumentals, NuJ4X began to find his rhyth
m. Upon doing so, he created the instrumental beat for “Dab (On Dem Haterz)” and decided he really liked it. Off hand NuJ4X jotted down the lyrics to what would become his debut single. He decided that he liked it so much, that he needed to release it to the masses. After brainstorming, “NuJ4X” was created. Mask, dreads, and all.
Moving forward, as NuJ4X spends time perfecting his craft, he has a lot of really fun songs for everyone to hear. Future singles “Confessions of a Pop Star” which was written for and about Lady Gaga, “Bad Boy” which is a testament to no matter how bad the boys are, the women still desire them, and finally “Big Beats” which is NuJ4X’s ode to music. All of those leading up to his debut album which will be titled”DJ for teh Lulz”. This is an album title derived from NuJ4X poking fun at himself for trying to break all of the rules in the EDM genre and subvert the methods everyone else is using.
NuJ4X never takes himself too seriously and just wants to have fun. He wants to make people feel happy, sing along to catchy songs, and dance the nights away. He arrived here a testament to his love for his son, but he’s staying for the power of joy that music brings to all of our lives.
WOW! This song is Amazing!
Upon hearing this intriguing delight, I experienced the same sort of happy, childish surprise that overcomes you when you find three hundred dollars laying on the ground in one of those sketchy alleys in New York City in which old men play chess.
Great job NuJ4X!

Who writes your songs? – I write them! It takes a good amount of work for me to write these songs as well. When I sit down to write a song, I try to come up with the most clever idea I can. I’ll jot down lyrics and usually within the first 10-15 minutes I’m writing, I can decide if a song is worth pursuing. Sometimes I have to archive the song into my files for a later date. Occassionally I’ll feel writers block and I’ll dig back for old songs and I’ll have the words for it and it finally becomes a song! Songwriting is a skill for sure and I’m doing the best I can just to get by!
What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs? – Usually whatever silly concepts I can come up with. Obviously dabbing on haters is a silly concept. But the song is an anti-bullying song. My topics are usually very serious ones, but they are wrapped up sarcastic or sardonic words and presentation. I just like to have fun and I want to make a chorus that gets stuck in your head and makes you want to dance in the front seat of your car and scream in the shower!
Could you briefly describe the music-making process? – I’ll do my best! My process of making music is basically just writing a bunch of things and then blending them together to see what happens. I’ll typically sit in front of my computer for 8-12 hours and forget to eat, only taking breaks to use the restroom to make the instrumental beats for my music. Often times it’ll take days or weeks of tweaking on a song to make sure I really like it. Each song you hear from me, has been listened too and worked on for weeks, even perhaps months. I listen to them late at night, listening for errors. I make a lot of errors and I double, triple, quadruple check them to make sure each kick is right, each chord is right, everything. I only want to present my very best.
What are the plans for the future? – My plans for the future are to just keep on making music. I’d really like to start performing live and learn how to put on a great stage show. I’m hoping one day to be able to play festivals and invest in some social causes I believe in. I’m going to release a bunch of singles that will be along the EDM spectrum, but influenced by whatever else along the way. I made a promise to myself when I started this in September of 2017, that I would not be pigenholed into any specific genre. I choose to be in EDM, but that’s like choosing to eat chicken. You can do A LOT of different things with chicken and you can with EDM.
