DJ Die Young

Age: 24

What you'll hear: Electro, house, techno

Where he spins: Middlesex Lounge, Solid! every Friday at ZuZu, and Great Scott

First record bought: EMPD's "Strictly Business"

Working the crowd: "You don't want to hit them with weird stuff all night, you want to hit them with crowd-pleasers, too. As a DJ, you have to be responsible for knowing when a song will work."

Best recent DJ memory: "I just opened up for Robyn at the Paradise and it was sold-out by the time I got on stage - just looking out at 600 people, it was terrifying and exciting at the same time."
