He later switched to studying journalism.[9]

Career

In college, Banks worked at Baruch's college radio stations. He was originally a gospel DJ[9] and chose his name as a reminder that "only what you do for Christ shall last."[14] In 1987, he began working as a radio host and mixer for WNYE FM, where he hosted The Best Kept Secret.[15][16][14] He gained a reputation for debuting music before its official release date. Among that music were the songs "Follow Me" (1992) by Aly-Us and "Beautiful People" (1994) by Barbara Tucker;[17][18] he also aired music by Todd Terry, Louie Vega, Roger Sanchez,[14][9] and Todd Edwards.[15][16] His show was one of the first that featured women doing mixes.[9] His 1995 remix of Plutonic's "Addicted" was not commercially available until 2001.[19]

His first professional DJ gig was at Studio 54,[20][14] followed by his first nightclub gig at The World in 1989. He then became the resident DJ of Wild Pitch[4][8][9] and alternated with Larry Levan and DJ Basil at David Mancuso's Loft Space, the Choice in Lower Manhattan[9][21] and made appearances at The Pyramid Club.[22][23] Disciple was hired several times by two Phi Beta Sigma brothers to DJ their Hunter College parties, where he, with the help of the duo Slick & Smooth Productions[24] caught the attention of Leonard Gabbidon and Stan Dennis. Gabbidon subsequently hired him to close shows for Jomanda, Liz Torres, Main Source, Special Ed, Run DMC, and Brand Nubian at the Syracuse Greekfest in 1989–1991. Dennis hired him to play at the Jones Beach Greekfest, while other fraternity brothers recommended him for parties at St. John's University and The City College.[25][26]

In 1991, he worked as the Friday night resident DJ at Club 280 in New Jersey, then at Club Zanzibar following Tony Humphries' departure. The Best Kept Secret's popularity got him a spot as a regular mixer for Japan's World Dance Traxx Part Bay FM. With connections made through Roger Sanchez[27] and his mentor DJ Camacho,[9] DJ Disciple began to tour in the early 1990s.[28] He played widely in the United Kingdom at clubs and venues including Lakota, Ministry of Sound,[8][9] Notting Hill Carnival,[29] Southport Weekender (1995-1997),[30] Cream, and The Zap, among others. Between 1993 and 2001, he played at Ministry of Sound at least twice a year;[14] three times a year (1994-2004) at To the Manor Born in Sedgefield; and annually (1994-2010) at Notting Hill Carnival. Across the pond, he appeared at Sona in Montréal twice a year between 1998 and 2004.[31] He played on Kiss FM London's[32] The Zoo Experience twice a year between 1993 and 2003.

DJ Magazine included Disciple on their list of Top 100 DJs worldwide in 1993[33] and did his first featured interview the following year.[34] He debuted his first single, "When the Music Stops" on Muzik Pushers in 1993.[14] The song quickly became a club hit in Italy and was picked up by D:vision Records. He performed at the Angels of Love club in Naples, Italy that same year. Disciple produced The Street Experience EP;[35] three of its songs stood out in particular. "On the Dancefloor" hit the UK singles charts at #67. "Steal Away"[14] featuring Dawn Tallman was included by Erick Morillo on a Ministry of Sound compilation and "Burning" was licensed to Deconstructed Records in the UK. Meanwhile, the Hard Times club in Leeds established a label in 1994. One of their first releases[36] was DJ Disciple remixing Robert Owens and Michael Watford performing "Come Together".[37] In 1996, he lent his vocals to Basement Jaxx's "Slide Slide" on their EP3 (Atlantic Jaxx[38]). The first hit for Disciples' own label, Catch 22 Recordings, was "Put Your Hands Up" (1998) by the Black & White Brothers, which he mixed.[39][8]

Disciple debuted as a journalist in Streetsound magazine in their July 1993 issue for his article "Unreleased Tracking - DJs Want to Know".[40] In 1997, when Josh Harris acquired Streetsound, Disciple became the first American to vlog internationally on the internet under a new website called Pseudo.com.[41]

UK garage influence

edit

DJ Disciple was one of the DJs who comfortably straddles playing across both the house and UK garage spectrums.

He was embraced by the UKG scene and played guest sets at all the legendary London garage clubs such as Twice as Nice in the Arches in Southwark as well as playing the Gass Club, Horny at Legends, and Cookies & Cream in Vauxhall.

When the speed garage duo Double 99 (Tim Deluxe and Omar Adimora) sat down to make "Ripgroove", they initially built a drum pattern on an E-mu SP-1200 drum machine using samples from a disc DJ Disciple had given to Liken on a recent trip to America.[42]

His UKG anthems include "Keep On Movin", a track by the Banji Boyz featuring Brown Girl (alias of Angie Brown; "2 the Bone" by Grant Nelson featuring DJ Disciple himself and his remix of Plutonic's "I'm Addicted".

Other UK garage collaborations include "Don't Shut Me Out" (DJ Disciple feat. Mary Gold), "Dangerous (DJ Disciple 91.5 Mix)" (Tuff Jam feat. Mr. X), "Steal Away (R.I.P Remix)" (DJ Disciple feat. Dawn Tallman), "Takin' It Back" (R.I.P feat. DJ Disciple), and "Desire" (with Jeremy Sylvester). Disciple left WNYE FM in 1997[43] to host the Transatlantic Mix on KISS 100 in London[2] with Tony Walker, which was a successful venture.[43]

In 2001, he began writing about his experiences on the website Trust the DJ, which eventually gave way to his CD Trust the DJ DS01, which detailed notable clubs he had played around the world.[50]

Collaborations with dancers and party motivators

Activism

edit

With extraordinary talent beside him, canned goods would be distributed where homeless victims would eat each year. In response to George Floyd's murder, Disciple also protested in the streets of Brooklyn and released a version of "Rise Up" in 2020 (Justice For George Floyd)[93][94]

Downtown Brooklyn parents were recently informed that a neighborhood staple, the Navy Yard Madison Boys & Girls Club, has filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 and will be closing at the end of the school year.    Many of the kids attending the Navy Yard Clubhouse come from the nearby NYCHA Farragut Houses. The clubhouse is directly across the street from Farragut, which made it a convenient location for parents to pick up their children.  The imminent closure of the clubhouse and the sale of its building are making families desperate to find some way to either put the clubhouse building into the hands of a different nonprofit or have the city step in to save it for the community.  Disciple reached out to Amsterdam News[95] to raise the alarm about the situation.
