Get your hands up for veteran DJ James Vincent, who keeps every party moving with his spin mastery. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Given his track record as a DJ, you\u2019d think James Vincent has heard just about every type of request imaginable. After all, he\u2019s opened for some of the music industry\u2019s heavy hitters in the past and spun at a number of prestigious shows and parties around the world \u2014 so there likely isn\u2019t anything that would ever surprise this accomplished turntablist.<\/p>\n

Of course, that was before he landed in the islands and began receiving requests at gigs to fire up the hip-hop classic Bring Em Out in order for partygoers to \u2014 get this \u2014 line dance to it. As Vincent quickly realized, even veteran beat jugglers like himself can still experience the most unusual pleas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the kids started asking me to play Bring Em Out, I was like, \u2018You mean the song by T.I.? And you want to line dance to that song?!\u2019 I couldn\u2019t believe what I was hearing \u2026 I guess it\u2019s a Hawai\u2018i thing,\u201d he says, laughing.<\/p>\n

Whatever the regional preferences are, Vincent remains a master of accommodation and adaptation. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m in Tennessee, it\u2019s country music. If I\u2019m on the West Coast, it\u2019s Tupac, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg,\u201d he explains. \u201cI did a wedding for a Texas couple once and they turned everything into a line dance, Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle, and even The Wobble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vincent is also quite good at reading crowds, dropping \u201cthe right record\u201d at the perfect moment and infusing energy into any occasion so attendees will feel like getting up and dancing. These characteristics and more are what make him who he is: one of the best and most sought-after vinyl manipulators around.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about playing the right song at the right time, feeling the crowd response and knowing they\u2019re right there with me,\u201d explains the scratch DJ, who owns an extensive music library (he has 30,000 pieces of vinyl in his arsenal that he plays out of his Serato DJ rig) from which he\u2019s able to create \u201ca vibe where things are flowing.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cEvery event is a fresh opportunity to make that connection,\u201d he adds, \u201cand I love that I get to do that again and again.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the early 2000s, Vincent began making a name for himself by spinning for a number of A-list musicians and notable occasions. Aside from sharing decks with Run-D.M.C. and DJ AM, he opened for John Legend, Snoop Dogg and Ye (formerly Kanye West). In addition, he\u2019s been the scratch artist for singer-songwriter Dido \u2014 first on her promotional tour and later on the Lilith Fair tour \u2014 as well as spun for Paris Fashion Week and a private party at Super Bowl XLVIII with Jimmy Fallon\u2019s drummer, Questlove.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, he once created and performed a soundtrack for 20,000 Coachella attendees inside the towering Sahara Tent; enjoyed New Jersey residencies at 46 Lounge, Teak on the Hudson and the Chandelier Room; wowed crowds at industry events for Bogner, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue; and dabbled as a remixer and songwriter for rock band Bush and the artist Citizen Cope. For his efforts, he was the recipient of a \u201cBest Song\u201d MTV Movie Award.<\/p>\n

But of all his career highlights, his favorite memory is hanging with Run-D.M.C.\u2019s Jam Master Jay.<\/p>\n

In recalling their meeting, he says, \u201cI\u2019m working one night and Jam Master Jay pokes his head into the booth and he\u2019s looking at the album I have on, a remix of The Brand New Heavies, and back up at me,\u201d Vincent recalls. \u201cThen he says, \u2018I love that record, man. Is it cool if I come back later?\u2019 I was like yeah, and after he returned we just hung out and talked about music. <\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, that was the time before cell phones and their cameras became a thing. I do wish I could have had a photo to capture that moment,\u201d adds Vincent about the artist who was killed shortly afterward over a cocaine deal gone bad. \u201cThat would have been incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

These days, Vincent spends most of his time right here in Hawai\u2018i, working weddings, graduation parties, baby l\u016b\u2018au gatherings and other milestone events. He also passes many days and nights familiarizing himself with the unique rhythms of the islands \u2014 although at this point, he pretty much has the local music scene down pat. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first got here, I didn\u2019t really know much about local music except for what I\u2019d hear when I was in Waik\u012bk\u012b,\u201d says the DJ, who was born in New Jersey. <\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up on the East Coast, I didn\u2019t hear Jawaiian music. But now I know who Kolohe Kai is, who Rebel SoulJahz is, and who B.E.T. and all these other bands are. I know their names, I see them on tours and I\u2019ve even done graduation parties with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, I can pretty much do a whole party with just local music,\u201d he adds. \u201cOr, I\u2019ll do the local music early and then as the party gets going, I\u2019ll start playing Top 40, hip-hop and maybe some country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first time Vincent ever changed albums for others was when he was 7. His cousin had scheduled a get-together with her friends at an aunt\u2019s house and Vincent was invited to switch out vinyl discs while the teens danced. The occasion didn\u2019t grant him any power over what was played; nevertheless, he was captivated by the turntable, his control of it, and how he could be an instrumental part of the musical experience.<\/p>\n

Once he grew older, however, he began dictating the order and type of music to be played at gatherings. Unmistakably, he loved being the one in charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the one who would show up at your house with my own stack of records and kind of take over your stereo system,\u201d he explains. \u201cI\u2019d go, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re going to play this next and then we\u2019re going to play this and this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, all he was at the time was a DJ in embryo. His evolution into a legitimate turntable artist wouldn\u2019t come until college, where he found a willing teacher in classmate Geoff Wilson.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019d come over every week and he\u2019d have his own stack of records,\u201d recalls Vincent of his mentor. \u201cHe\u2019d also have a couple of magazines and a six-pack of beer and he would get up and mix, then hand me the headphones, sit down on the couch, grab a magazine, crack open a beer and say, \u2018Go!\u2019 I would then do things and he would say over and over, \u2018Nope, try it again.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he first explained things to me, in my head I understood it. But it was still a matter of making it go from my head to making my hands physically do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In time, Vincent learned how to manipulate a Technics 1200 turntable and mixer board with great dexterity. People began noticing his burgeoning talent as well and word eventually leaked out about his services. Soon, Vincent became an in-demand DJ, beat juggler and preparer of playlists for just about any occasion, having been hired to play at clubs, bars, lounges and major events from New York City to LA, as well as in locales around the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sometimes feel that DJing is something I kind of fell into,\u201d he notes. \u201cBut I also feel like it was always meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

This month marks five years since Vincent, wife Rene and their two young sons relocated to the Aloha State, and it does appear that destiny brought them here. <\/p>\n

Vincent had visited Hawai\u2018i previously, but he didn\u2019t really consider moving until Rene \u2014 whom he affectionately refers to as \u201cthe Bonnie to my Clyde, the Mallory to my Mickey, the Marge to my Homer\u201d \u2014 told him she was having premonitions of planting roots in paradise.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the day that I met her, she was like, \u2018I want to live in Hawai\u2018i. I\u2019m having these dreams and I know I have to live there,\u2019\u201d recalls Vincent, who ultimately agreed to the move and chose to settle in Kailua.<\/p>\n

Vincent considers himself \u201cblessed\u201d to call Hawai\u2018i home and much of that feeling is due to his ability to continue spinning music for locals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been amazing to me. On the East Coast, you do some outdoor events, but here in Hawai\u2018i, it\u2019s mostly outdoors,\u201d he says. \u201cNow for someone growing up here, that might not be so special. But for me, it\u2019s incredible to be at Kualoa Ranch, Waimea Valley or somewhere on the North Shore and have my feet planted in the sand or the grass and be playing music and making special moments for people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not a bad way to make a living, eh?<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, yeah,\u201d he agrees, \u201cand I\u2019m grateful that I get to keep doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
