DJ Lithium is widely recognized and considered by many to be one of the most successful "bedroom djs" alive. He is known around the world through the long time operation of his streaming mp3 radio station which has been listed on Shoutcast.com and in the iTunes "Electronica" directory practically from day one of both services being launched.
With over 27 mixed sets released over 6 years and broadcast via "DJLithium.com Radio" as well as several top internet broadcasters such as DI.FM and Afterhoursdjs.org, DJ Lithium has successfully established himself as a respectable force in the underground dance music community both as a DJ and label owner. As the co-founder and executive producer of Black Tiger Recordings | Nice Kitty Music Entertainment Ltd. he has worked with long time DJ and events production partner Earl Von Bye to build Canada's largest and most active Trance music record label group. Working with artists, DJs and producers from around the world, DJ Lithium has pushed forward the careers of DJ Virgen (San Diego, California), Incolumis (Finland), Sinful Nature (Washington D.C.), San Mehat (San Francisco, California/Ottawa, Canada), Jon Cates (Portland, Oregon) plus D-Wave and trance[]control (both from Sweden).
While rarely playing in public (by choice) , DJ Lithium has appeared at clubs and events from Montreal to San Diego, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Tijuana and Mexico City as the headlining DJ playing for crowds from 300 to 3000. DJ Lithium's mixing technique, while again rarely seen, is beyond what many party go-ers and club patrons would consider as being "energetic" and for those close enough to witness - mind shattering in its approach. With a firm technical style and somewhat radical approach to playing records, making use of a method never seen before for many, there is no doubt that when DJ Lithium puts on a performance it's much more than "just another DJ" standing behind a set of decks and dropping records.
As a strong and vocal supporter of Vinyl DJs and vinyl phonograph record only mixing techniques and technology he is the founder of what has become known as the D.E.J.I. Council. A Vinyl DJ and Vinyl Record Label consortium which has grown from only a handful of members within the Black Tiger Recordings | Nice Kitty Music Entertainment Ltd. Label Group to include other likeminded individuals from around the world, the D.E.J.I. Council has been quietly working behind the scenes, underground, to formulate a definitive response to the current state of underground dance music - under attack by rampant and blatant piracy of digital singles and then further abused by "digital djs", superstar and not. These efforts include the "D.E.J.I." Licensing system for dance music singles released on 12" which promises to take much of the confusion, cost and time out of the process of licensing Vinyl Record released dance music for appearance in a vinyl DJ Mixed set intended for retail sale. Something which is widely recognized as being a key obstacle world wide in advancing dance music beyond its current status - the stereotype of being "disposable" by major labels and conventional radio.
