DJ 300
PERSEVERANCE
Submerge Recordings
Born and raised in Hamtramck, DJ 3000 was inundated with both the sights and sounds of his neighborhood, a highly ethnic area of Detroit, as well as with the influence of the music of his parent's native Albanian background. Franki Juncaj aka DJ 3000 got initiated into the Submerge crew and never looked back. He discovered the rich history of Detroit Techno through a friend who introduced him to the world of 2030, one of Detroit's most famous outlets for electronic music, and to the world of Underground Resistance (commonly abbreviated to UR) the most militantly political example of modern Detroit Techno, with a grungy, four-track musical aesthetic and a strictly anti-mainstream business strategy.
DJ 3000 founded his own label in 2001. Motech Records takes the vision and influence provided to him by Detroit and his parent's immigration from old Yugoslavia. To the day DJ 3000 has become known for creating a new hybrid breed of Techno/Electro/Funk interspersed with the soul of Albanian and Middle Eastern rhythms.
