DJ Rush (Isaiah Major[1]) is a Techno-DJ and music producer from Chicago, Illinois, U.S.. He was born in January, 1970.
In the blooming house scene of Chicago DJ Rush quickly came to like electronic music. He made his first appearances as a DJ in the Chicago Clubs "Music Box", the "Powerhouse", the Warehouse where he played his sets for up to ten hours.[2] At the same he began home recording his own creations.
In 1991 DJ Rush released his first single ("Knee Deep") on the label Trax Records. His production became increasingly minimal and heavier and he began to gain ground in London and Berlin. In 1996 he released two full length albums on Trax Records.[3]
In 1998 DJ Rush successfully had a Europe-wide breakthrough with the record "Motherfucking Bass". It was widely regarded as one of the "club hymns" of that year.[2] Following this success he teamed up with Tina Panitzke to start the booking agency and record label Kne'Deep in Berlin.[4] In 2001 he displaced Jeff Mills as the Reader's Choice for most popular DJ in Groove-Magazine (a German magazine for electronic music released since 1989).[2]
As his fame and stature grew, he used his status to help up and coming techno-artists get their breakthrough, by remixing their tracks, or releasing them on his label, Kne'Deep. He has also a very particular way to entertain the crowd, acting as dj and mc at the same time. He is often named as one of the biggest stars and iconic persons of the techno genre.[5][6]
DJ Rush is 6' 6" (1.98 m) tall.
