FUNK MUSIC OBSESSIVE
MARK RONSON
In only the past decade, DJs have gone from niche scene-arbiters to some of the biggest names in music. The star DJ-producer, who creates his or her own music as well as spins, is the most powerful presence of all—and it's a role that can be traced back to the slim, nattily dressed shoulders of Mark Ronson, a soul and funk music obsessive from London. Ronson cut his teeth spinning in downtown New York hotspots in the mid-'90s. A diligent crate-digger, he'd pull from the curated collection of vinyl he'd brought along and mix obscure samples into his hip-hop sets. He gained a reputation for giving clubgoers a jolt of the unexpected while still rocking the house. The buzz commenced, and before long he was helming private blowouts for P. Diddy and Tommy Hilfiger (and modeling in the latter's ads).
