BEST RECORD SLINGER
DJ Twist
Viva la Disc Jockey! This appeared to have been a confusing category for some readers, with entries ranging from music conglomerate “Borders” to local musician “Willie K.” But DJ Twist has been spinning records on Maui for almost four years now, having started deejaying almost 10 years ago in Phoenix, AZ. He fell in love with the underground hip-hop culture and started promoting shows with the first DJ Battle at the Hard Rock Café last year. Since then, he’s brought the likes of Atmosphere, Psychokinetics and Gershwin DLX to Maui, among others, as he said, “to give people an opportunity to hear something different.” And he’s humble, too. “It’s nice to know that I do something for a living that makes people happy at the same time,” said Twist. Aww, shucks. DJ Twist spins “old school” at Hapa’s every Thursday. DJs Boomshot and Platelunch tied for second place. [SC]
