I still can’t figure out why New Jersey is at the tail end of many jokes (some even calling it the “armpit of the USâ€) when a lot of good talent and ideas come out of NJ. The whole vision of the View Askewniverse is an example of this, along with our own Quick Stop Entertainment. Another example of creative innovation coming out of Jersey is Trenton, NJ DJ, DJ Ju-Ice. He’s raised the bar of the DJ game by releasing DVDs of the mixing/mash-ups he does on CD. The whole mix lines up perfectly with their respective video. So you are not just watching a Jay-Z or Pharell video, you are actually watching it completely remixed by DJ Ju-Ice! It truly takes mixing and mixtapes to the next level and will leave you wondering what will be thought of next!
This musical art you have to see to experience has won him the 2006 Justo Mixtape Award for best DVD blends, and best mixtape blends. Winning a Justo Mixtape Award is something many urban DJs aspire to get, as it was the first award 
ceremony offered for DJs. Ju-Ice’s recent mixtape video blend DVD is the third one he’s released since last year. I’ve had a chance to see all three and they get better with each one he makes, but still unique in their own right. Being unique does bring a lot of copycats though as Ju-Ice has seen a lot of DJs copy his style of mixing. Despite this he still welcomes creativity from others. On one of his DVDs he encourages other DJs to stay original and keep their creativity up. This new one features a few mixes by his protégé DJ Seductive. A lot of time was placed in editing the over one and a half hours of videos into one continuous mix. He even throws in some Marvin Gay and Dianna Ross into the mix, put to some new beats. The mixtape video blends make a great gift for friends, or even for yourself to watch or show at parties.
Ju-Ice is staying busy working on a mixtape video blend DVD featuring all Mary J. Blidge videos. DJ Seductive also working on her solo blend DVD project.
