Isaiah Major[1] (born January 9, 1970 in Chicago, Illinois, United States) best known as DJ Rush,[1] is an American musician, DJ and record producer of electronic music.

Early life and career beginnings

Isaiah Major was born in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Isaiah Major finished his degree in Computer Operations, Anger Management and won several first place awards in Art competitions.[1]

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", and the Warehouse where he played his sets for up to ten hours.[2] He also began producing.

In 1991 DJ Rush released his first single ("Knee Deep") on the label Trax Records. 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 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 sometimes DJ's and MC's simultaneously, a unique way to entertain the crowd. DJ Rush is often regarded as one of the most iconic persons of techno.[5][6]

DJ Rush is 6' 6" (1.98 m) tall.
