D-Nice The Quarantine Remedy
As an artist, when you sit down to listen to a song, have you ever thought to yourself "Where did this come from?" The drums, the percussion, the vocals, and even the instruments played in the background are a pivotal part to what we hear, because it ties the song together. The same can be said when comes to the world of DJ'ing. When a DJ can make a smooth transition from old to new, it is one of the most refreshing and delightful things to witness, since they are able to take you on a musical journey of a song's origin. If you are an artist that is serious about your craft and want to push ahead, you should tune into D-Nice's Club Quarantine.
As artists, one thing we can all identify with is if something is unique and original. That is what makes the artform of music so beautiful - it is an artform that can take us on a musical experience we have never been on before. The incredibly talented DJ Derrick Jones aka "D-Nice" first came on the scene as a teenager in the late 80s, djing for Boogie Down Productions and later became a solo rap artist where he gained success with singles like "Call Me D-Nice", "25 ta Life", "Time to Flow" and his memorable verse on the legendary collaborative track "Self Destruction" by the Stop The Violence Movement. D-Nice used his success to experiment in other areas as well like photography, and web development.

One thing D-Nice has never lost sight of is his ability to share his gift as a DJ to the world. This opened us all up to the unforgettable DJ experience he started called Club Quarantine. Club Quarantine, or as many call it "CQ" started in March 2020 via Instagram. D-Nice has found a way to channel a spirit of joy in our hearts during these unprecedented times by using music that transcends many generations. I enjoyed hearing the different genres and variations of music when I listen to Club Quarantine. D-Nice also takes younger listeners on a music lesson by showing us where many samples came from. He will play a classic record like the S.O.S Band's "Tell Me If You Still Care" (1983) and there may be a younger generation tuned in that is familiar with Mariah Carey's 1995 "Always Be My Baby" (Mr. Dupri Mix), but do not realize that the song actually came from the S.O.S Band.
D-Nice's Club Quarantine is a party and celebration but to another degree, it's education on music history at the same time. In a time where our world has hit an immediate halt due to the coronavirus, it is important for us, as artists to take the time out to celebrate and pay homage to the ones who have paved the way for us. Thank you D-Nice!
