DJ Spinna's accomplishments surpass those of most DJs, yet he remained strictly an underground artist despite his astonishing talent. Though primarily known for his hip-hop work, Spinna also expanded his reach to include downtempo house music as well. The New York DJ remixed tracks for many artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:3GeU43m5eWxLSfdJQ0s5h9">Soulstice</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4tNxq9NGKTKaX8OkZBLgf0">Nightmares on Wax</a>. He also produced a number of artists such as rappers <a href="spotify:artist:6xyaria4AcxjRuJZLkWvMW">Guru</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5bb5uytW59wDF0gpv8iQbE">J-Live</a> and his own rap group, <a href="spotify:artist:7z52HB2osIQNcgAni23TdH">Jigmastas</a>. Along with his partner, MC Kriminul, the duo debuted as <a href="spotify:artist:7z52HB2osIQNcgAni23TdH">Jigmastas</a> in 1996 with the single "Beyond Real," which they released on their own independently operated label of the same name. Besides his <a href="spotify:artist:7z52HB2osIQNcgAni23TdH">Jigmastas</a> albums and his occasional productions, Spinna mixed several albums for various labels. For instance, Raiding the Crates (2002) compiles tracks from the Chicago deep house label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Guidance%22">Guidance</a>, and The Beyond Real Experience, Vol. 2 (2002) compiles tracks from his own label. In addition, Spinna was deeply connected to the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22BBE%22">BBE</a> label, most notably through Strange Games and Things (2001), which creatively compiled an eccentric blend of old-school tracks such as <a href="spotify:artist:2Uuon75BhnuuxdKLYn4wHn">Eddie Kendricks</a>' "Girl You Need a Change of Mind," <a href="spotify:artist:0FrpdcVlJQqibaz5HfBUrL">Rick James</a>' "Mary Jane," and <a href="spotify:artist:3ZUZYvTkSr7kJQyAXVpqaL">Donald Byrd</a>'s "Wind Parade." He also mixed 2009's The Boogie Back, which focused on late-'70s and early-'80s post-disco. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
