When DJ Wolf was six, he and his friends would record songs and then breakers onto cassette tape. Even then he wanted to be a DJ. A lot has to do with his father, who spent many years in the music industry, from record store management to radio disc jockey to an avid record collector.

In 1992 the name, DJ Wolf, was established with a distinction for the "still young" music entrepreneur.

He and his father spent many afternoons going record shopping and the young DJ would buy 45's and 12 inches.To this day, he still buys his "old faithful" vinyl. Even to this day he tells stories of people who tried

to convince him of the "technology age" with their CD's. If he does play CD's, his CD player of preference

is the Pioneer CDJ-1000 MK3.

His first DJ set-up consisted of a Boombox with detachable speakers. His first gigs were pool parties

and sweet 16 parties around the neighbor hood. In 1992, he borrowed his father's equipment, consisting of a

pair of DUAL 1220's (DUAL was the company name), straight-arm direct drive turntables, a Sony Tapco

2-channel mixer, a single Yamaha CD player, 2 Electro-Voice Seven-A monitors and a single Fender

15-in bass modular.

In 1993, he started doing mobiles with Tony D and Big John of Holiday Sounds Mobile DJ's. Working with

Holiday Sounds he got experience in doing: weddings,school dances, grand openings for Top Star Mobile's,

Philadelphia Eagles Training Camp, proms and homecomings (including his own Junior and Senior Proms).

At the end of 1993, he went to the FR8 Yard and made his way to the booth, where he met the Infamous Miko and became friends with him. Thereafter, he visited every week, also DJ'ing with the genre of :"Garage

Techno". He remained until the change over to Club BPM. He still visits Miko occasionally, and hangs out in

McDonald's parking lots for hours and reminisce of the "Old Days".

In 1996, while still in High School, he was asked to fill in a date at Teddy's (located in the Sheraton

Jetport) for a Friday night. It became a regular gig with him doing Happy Hour's and the Evening Dance

Party. He used to invite his teachers out for drinks when he was DJ'ing that night, and boy could they

boogie on the floor! To this day, he fills in when necessary. Also in the same year he worked at 4th

Street Pub, in Allentown underneath Sophia's Pizzeria. It is now currently a beautiful used car lot.

In 1997, BPM took over the FR8 Yard, which played more hip-hop to a growing genre. Also, late in the year of 1997, he spent some time at Club Motion and Club Egypt in Philadelphia and Scarlet O'Hara's in

Bethlehem. In 1998, these passions and jobs came to an abrupt end due to an unmentionable female.

In late 1999, DJ Wolf re-joined the human race after a long and horrible ordeal with the unmentionable

female. After suffering serious financial drain, emotional distress and also a HUGE loss of his music

collection, he started working again with Holiday Sounds to rebuild all of what he had lost.

In Spring of 2000, he was working at a sound shop, doing car stereo installation, as well as DJ'ing and

selling mix tapes to the local kids who frequented the sound shop. There he met Patrick Cerullo a.k.a. DJ

Grooves, who he met at school while they attended Bethlehem Catholic High School. Pat had had an idea for

a radio show on a 14,000 watt station which was located an hour away. Pat knew him and knew his reputation and knew what he spun and they joined forces to start a show called the Friday Night Vibe, which ran on Friday nights. It was heard in the coal regions of the Poconos. The idea failed due to minimal financial income, but the idea was highly liked. For the next 8-10 months afterwards, they continued to run a syndication program out of DJ Wolf's house.

After the station failed, a friend (DJ Heckman) pulled him in on a project at Club Carrigans and Planet Trog. It was a weekly electronic event. DJ's Frankie Bones, Funk and Pleasurehead were frequents. This

continued until a mishap outside and owners decided to shut down the events. 2 months later, he ran a party

with DJ Menace called Rememberance, to remember the days of Trog and the FR8 Yard. They had 7 days to

promote and it brought in an excess of 250 people. After this event, an un-named arch-enemy ganked the

venue and it was ruined forever.

 

Later in 2001, the dynamic duo tried again. DJ Wolf made appearances at Maingate, Party Central and the

Sheraton. This time they went back to the station with 3 more partners (DJ Wribit, DJ Fly and DJ Ykcor). The

show was a complete success and had a huge following. It also had a promotional staff a.k.a. the Vibe Girls.

They also did live broadcasts from Our Beer Bellies in Bethlehem. 2 months went by and only Pat and Wolf had

their share of the ads, while the other 3 had no money to contribute to the station. Within 10 weeks, 105.5, The Vibe, was once again bankrupt.

A member of the management of WXLV 90.3 had heard of the duo (The Vibe) and was willing to give them a shot on Monday nights from midnight to 2. With the loss of the person before them, they got 9pm to 2. This show had a good year long run, until Pat and an un-named man had a mishap and The Vibe got kicked off of Monday nights. They were also doing WMUH 91.7 on Thursday mornings, which also came to end with a change of the management.

In early 2002, DJ Wolf threw an event called Back 2 the yard (held at what was once the FR8 Yard and is now called the BR'idge). It was expected to have 300 people but had an excess of 1000. Once again the person he worked with was shady and ganked the venue and ruined that for all electronic events to come, as he himself proved with monthly parties that flopped horribly. At the same time, DJ Wolf was trying to re-vive it with

weekly’s that he called Pulse Weekly’s, but they were going no where because his ex-shady partner had ruined

it for everyone by being greedy and he did not have enough experience.  After the weekly’s passed, he had a

residence at the Sterling Hotel located on Hamilton Street in Allentown. This also ended with a change in management.

DJ Wolf, who had been a resident DJ of Da' BRidge, had decided to stop because he got offered a DJ management positions at Flashbacks and Boca Joes. Flashback and Boca Joe's was owned by the same man who had once owned Club BPM. Grooves was also a resident. The head hip-hop DJ was DJ Buttaball Ed, who was also playing after hours at DA' Bridge. He and Eddie had played together previously at Club BPM and to this day still get along great, both currently play on the Sirius Satellite system.

 

May of 2003, DJ Wolf was called by the head DJ at the Rainbow Mountain Resort, Joey Z, who needed a crown amp repaired. Joey Z offered him 2 nights at this resort to cover, when he could not make it. DJ Wolf packed the dance floor the whole night and is now there on a frequent basis. The resort was the first Gay club Wolf has ever played at.  He loves the way the crowd would dance all night.  After getting established in the gay

scene, he got asked to play at Illusions (Tannersville,PA) and Diamonz (Bethlehem, PA).  They both had their

good runs, however as some good things go, they also came to an end.  Late 2004, he had a few nights at

Banana Joe’s. This ended due to clash in music tastes.

In the current state of time, DJ Wolf still does remixes and edits for certain occasions and labels. He

is also still a resident at Rainbow Mountain Resort. He does some guest DJ’ing spots in NYC.  He bides away

his time, waiting in the wings, for the return of dancemusic.  He has been quoted of saying “It will come back, it’s just a matter of time and diligence.  All ittakes is one song to hit big in the USA”.  His preference to spin is Tribal and Progressive House.  He has 2 radio shows on 90.3 WXLV.  Club X on Saturday nights from Midnight until 6am.  Club X showcases some of the hottest DJ’s across the country.  House of Vibes is on Sunday from 6pm to 10pm.  House of Vibes is all request and showcases hot new singles each week, as well as a guest DJ. He is also on Sirius Satellite, times and days vary.  He is also happily engaged to his wonderful fiance of 3 years, Jessica. 

In September of 2007, DJ Wolf embarked on a new, but yet well familiar road with his new girlfriend, whom is also his manager. Now looking at the long road ahead, there is more to offer in the local areas with the rise of dance music and venued bookings. In the long run, there is so much in store than anyone realized for the industry and everyone interested  in this genre of music
