Who is this DJ Merritt?
Dallas, Texas is probably best known around the world for “Who shot JR?” Lee Harvey Oswald, the “Grassy Knoll” and our little friend, the pocket-sized man of his own moment, Ross Perrot. But for those familiar with Dallas’ cutting-edge electronic music scene, DJ Merritt is the name everyone remembers. As in other important cities for electronic music, strong support from local radio plays an essential part in nurturing the scene. DJ Merritt hosts Edge Club, the longest running mix show in America for the last 12 years. It’s no coincidence that the show is a mammoth three hours long and airs every Saturday night on the most popular new music station in the city: The Edge! As with anyone at the top of his game, DJ Merritt has worked for it. He began spinning house and acid house well over a decade ago during college in Shreveport, Louisiana.

As his talents as a DJ became obvious, his college radio station KSCL gladly offered him his own electronic music show. In 1990, DJ Merritt launched “Friday Night Rave,” a three-hour show that premiered the best of the era’s electronic music -- certainly an entirely new thing for the bayous and backwaters of Louisiana. After returning to complete his education in Dallas in 1993, Merritt quickly moved into the local club and rave scene playing two or more sets a night. He rocked the house and packed the dance floor at Dallas’ hottest clubs including Aqua Lounge, Fish Dance, Iguana Mirage, Lizard Lounge, & Red Jacket. Merritt also worked overnights at KDGE, until finally graduating to take over “Edgeclub” in 1996.

Since then he’s played with, and had as guests on his show, just about every important DJ & Artist in the world -- from Moby, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, to Metalheadz and Todd Terry. Merritt’s immense appetite for music continues to propel both his sound and his career. Over the years he’s been known to spin a wicked Drum and Bass set once in a while, as well as his signature brand of Progressive House and Future Breaks. More recently, Merritt has taken the next logical step and started making his own music. First venturing out with remixes of “Symphonic Music” from Team Progress and ”Believe” from Inner Face and then contributing his own original work “Slappin Skins” to the Torchbearers project.  Merrit teamed up with friends DatGuy for a project for UNICEF and released "Resucitate feat. VoiceRock" with all proceeds going to charity.  Merritt also owns and operates GrooveKitchen Recordings and is set to have a huge 2007 with a full load of releases.  Check out "Stick of Sin" by DJ Merritt featured on D:FUSE's latest mix cd People 3!!!  Want to stream or download DJ Merritt's music?  How about old shows?  go to:  iPodFood.com!!!
