DJ Seoul 🥷🏾
As owner and co-founder of Bang Tech 12, DJ Seoul has been tearing up the Detroit Techno community.
As soldier for the Detroit Techno Militia, he has been touring the world over fighting the battle for the soul of the music. Pla..
Raised on the East side of Detroit, Bill had an early start in music. At a young age, various forms of counterculture sounds and movements heavily influenced him. His formal training began in 1985 with the drums, and continues today with both traditional, and electronic instruments.
As a youngster, Seoul remembers listening to The Wizard's mix shows on WJLB and the Electrifying Mojo on WGPR and credits those as early influences on his style. From the Wizard's lightning fast mixes to the Mojo's diverse selections, DJ Seoul really began to appreciate the responsibilty of the DJ to constantly be working and perfecting his craft. Couple that with his affinity for Punk Rock groups like Minor Threat, the S*x Pistols and Operation Ivy and you can see where his dedication to being a true performer comes from. DJ Seoul gives one hundred percent every time he performs and this energy is clearly visible and reciprocated by the audience.
It is a natural fit for him to play the music that he loves. By representing his home town properly and playing Detroit Music, DJ Seoul continues to carry the torch that was handed to him by the greats that came before him. Playing wide assortments of music, from Electro, Techno, Hip-Hop and Soul, to House, Acid and Rare Groove, DJ Seoul has become known for his style of bringing a Hip-Hop Turntablist style of mixing and scratching to his set regardless of genre.
In 1996 he co-founded Bang Tech 12 with Greg Montgomery aka. DJ Eclipse. Bang Tech once represented many acts that have gone on to influence the world, including DJ Minx, Magda, Jerry The Cat, DJ Moreese and 8en. Bang Tech 12 was responsible for many large scale, quality underground events in Detroit in the mid to late nineties including "Sounds of Futures Past", "Rampage", "Vertigo" and Return of the Robot". Bang Tech 12 has grown and continues today as a management company with branches in five states. With over 30 different acts under their wing, Bang Tech 12 is a symbol of quality that spans the entire country.
In addition to a 13 year DJ career that has taken him across the world, Bill writes and produces electronic music with great attention to detail. He collects vintage synthesizers and drum machines which he uses to create music with a very distinct sound. DJ Seoul has been interviewed and featured on T.V. and Radio worldwide including FOX News, WJLB, WHFR, WCBN, WEMU, WDPM, CJAM, Techno.FM, NDR and Whitenoise Radio on 3voor12. You can find DJ Seoul's production work worldwide on the Detroit Techno Militia and Bang Tech 12 Record Labels as well as on the Drugaci Exhibitions Record Label based out of Chicago Illinois.
DJ Seoul looks upon the future with determination and hope, "The time is over for looking down our noses in disdain at our fellow man because their beliefs are different, or because they lack the teaching to make educated decisions. By creating a knowledge base, sharing knowledge, and teaching the history of Detroit music to the masses, the uneducated understand and the weak become strong. Through education and cultivation, we can destroy the mediocre standards that have been placed as barriers in the music industry" . DJ Seoul is a leader in the community and has taken it upon himself to continue to usher in an era of change through the art of noise.
