JERMAINE DUPRI EXTENDS DJ RESIDENCY AT WYNN LAS VEGAS THROUGH 2015

 Jermaine Dupri reigns supreme at Tryst at Wynn Las Vegas 

A resident DJ on the Vegas scene since 2007, Dupri first began his Wynn residency five years ago at Tryst, arguably the hottest club on the strip. His electrifying sets stood out among the slew of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) spinners and became a popular destination for local party-goers. With Dupri’s show being one of the few places in town where you can get a strictly hip-hop experience, it wasn’t long before Wynn sought to add more clubs to JD’s schedule.

“I’m pretty much the only DJ in town who sticks strictly to hip-hop because hip-hop is generally not taken as seriously as dance music,” he states. “At the end of the day, people move to what feels good. It really doesn’t matter if it’s EDM or hip-hop. I just want people to leave saying, ‘That was a damn good party!'”

Managed by booking agency SKAM Artist (who brokered the Wynn deal), Dupri maintains that DJing in Vegas requires more than the ability to work a Serato.

“In Vegas, the DJ is the main attraction at a party,” he says. “People pay to see and hear what the DJ is going to play. It’s more than just playing a series of records. It’s about your ability to really put on an entertaining show.”
