DJ Chris Devlin

Age: 29

What you'll hear: A mix of funk, disco, rap, and hip-hop

Where he plays: Shake Em Down, the first Thursday of every month at Milky Way Lounge & Lanes; Weekend Warriors on Sundays at ZuZu.

On his resume: He was part of the underground hip-hop collective Spank Rock

How he started: "Initially, I came out with a hip-hop sort of attitude and was really into the idea of sticking with one sort of sound and style. [Since then], I've broadened my horizons."

Best recent DJ memory "I just got back from Japan and I had a solo gig... People were receptive and the music was something I could really stand behind. That felt great."
