DJ Godfather (Brian Jeffries) is one of the founding fathers of the Detroit Ghettotech scene. He started DJing at the age of 15 and within a few months was already playing in clubs and after-hour parties across the Motor City. By 17 he'd started making music and a year later, released his first solo record on Twilight 76 (the label he started with DJ Dick and Brian Gillespie). The creation of other labels followed including the influential Databass, which he revived in 2018. With a career spanning near on 3 decades, he's continued to deliver the goods as well as supporting new Detroit talent, as his Godfather moniker implies. He has released numerous albums, singles, and remixes, earning him a devoted fan base, and has also collaborated with a variety of artists, including fellow Detroit legends like DJ Assault and DJ Deeon. As a DJ, his battle style turntablism has made him a hero in his city (you only have to witness the crowds he pulls at Detroit's Movement Festival or the fact he's won "DJ of The Year" 11 times, voted by readers of Detroit's Metro Times) and the many places around the globe where he's laid down his fine-tuned skills, high-energy beats and infectious basslines that have kept dance floors packed for decades. Over the years it’s gained him worldwide recognition and various DJing accolades.
