[edit] Career
DJ Spinbad was formerly heard on WHTZ in twenty-minute sets at 7:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. on weekdays, Fridays at 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 7:00 p.m. He was also heard on WWPR at 10:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m. on Fridays. Recent recession cutbacks, according to his MySpace page, forced WHTZ to cut him from their lineup. He was also heard on WHTZ on Saturdays from 11:00 p.m.–2:00 a.m. live from Webster Hall in New York City. Spinbad was also a guest on the syndicated radio show Live In Tha Den With Big Tigger.[1]
In 2011, Spinbad returned to WHTZ as apart of the Saturday Night Online staff.
DJ Spinbad has toured with electronic artist Moby,[2] and has produced one of the albums in the Fabric Live series, described by Allmusic as "literally a party in a can",[3] while Resident Advisor stated that it was "mixed extremely well".[4] Spinbad also mixed the 2001 collection Underground Airplay Version 1.0.[5] He also is credited with having the most bootlegged mix CD titled Rocks the Casbah (The '80s Megamix).
Spinbad has deejayed for Russell Peters' comedy tours.
