Owner of Atlanta’s own Sweet Box Music, DJ Princess Cut came a long way from spinning at the infamous Magic City. With ties to The Dream, Goddie Mob and winner of the coveted Southern Entertainment Awards for female DJ of the year, it’s no wonder DJ Princess Cut was chosen to be included in this months DJ+Producer Issue. To know DJ Princess Cut is to love her style, mixes and creativity

How did you get the name Princess Cut?

I came up with “Princess Cut” from brainstorming with my brother, the artist Guatemala Shawty. He actually hit me with the name and I dug it right away.

How did you get your start as a DJ?

I started DJing by trying it on a humbug one day at a bar by my house. Ever since that day I was addicted and couldn’t let it go.

Being a DJ, do you ever feel restricted by the music you have to play?

There are times when restrictions are definitely in effect. Whether that be sticking to clean music or sticking to certain genres for a particular crowd or event. Please believe “I love when there are no
restrictions.”

Who inspired you to become a DJ?

My inspiration came from music and not necessarily someone. I have a deep love for music and wanted to be able to control what people listened to, in a sense. I would be the one at the house or the party controlling the CD player. As I got older, I’d be the person sitting in the club analyzing the music and wanting to be the one playing it. After I started DJing, I would see DJ Kid Capri live in Atlanta and his set was really motivating and inspiring, once I began DJing.

There are many people I’d like to thank and I know that I couldn’t mention them all right now. But I’d start with the people that have truly followed me and that dig my campaign and brand. I give thanks to my team Hoodrich as well as the DJ’s who have helped me in any way, since I started.Thanks ATL!

What do you do to give back to the community to show your support?

I do volunteerism at community events and high schools, as well as speak to the youth on career days.

What are some of the pitfalls you have encountered on your way to being one of the top DJ’s in Atlanta?

Mainly I have just had to show and prove. Once that happened, I’ve remained consistence with my talent and providing good business practices.

I see that you are a GSU graduate, but are you originally from Atlanta?

Yes I’m a proud ATLien!

What projects are you most proud of accomplishing, to date?

Projects I’m most proud of accomplishing, to date, are he Goodie Mob Reunion Tour which included an appearance on Jimmy Fallon, and touring with the Outlawz as well as the Dream. I’ve also Deejayed for Neiman Marcus at Lenox Square Mall as their Official DJ, competed as the only female on BET’s Master of the Mix ATL and was selected as a Vibe Vixen.

For all the aspiring female DJ’s out there, what advice do you have?

The classic “practice makes perfect” quote is about the best when it comes to mixing. Learn your self and really develop your own musical style as a DJ.

Where are you currently spinning and what are your upcoming projects?

I spin the 1st Saturday of every month at the Drink Shop W Hotel Downtown as well as various events at Neiman Marcus Lenox Square and throughout Atlanta at various clubs, lounges and boutiques. My current mix-tapes are “Early Morning Tap” and “Bad Azz Yella Gul.” Look out for my new TV show In the Sweetbox featuring your favorite artists, indie artists, and DJ’s.

For some years now, Colombian DJ/producer Bluckther (real name Juan Felipe Lopez Gomez) has been releasing house tracks that have been played all around the world on big stages such as Tomorrowland Mainstage, ADE Amsterdam, Encore Las Vegas, Ultra Miami, and many more. His Music has also gained support from some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Tiësto, Don Diablo, Afrojack, Fedde Le Grand, Steve Aoki, Diplo, Laidback Luke, and The Chainsmokers.

Recently awarded the prize for ‘Best Artist House Revelation’ by the CDA (Colombian Dance Awards) in his native Colombia, Bluckther now teams up with fellow Colombian DJ/producer and singer Martin Trevy. Martin is best known for his 2019 remix of Dermot Kennedy’s hit ‘Power Over Me’, which picked up airtime on multiple radio stations across Europe such as JAM FM, NRJ, Bayern 3 und Kiss FM. Together, they have crafted a song about burning desires, burning sensations, and a nocturnal jaunt through LA.  

“Feeling going crazy / Waiting for you baby / Until tonight “– right from the start, we’re drawn into the song’s
blistering atmosphere. Martin Trevy’s smooth vocals take us to the scene of events: a lover counting the hours until he finally feels, sees, and tastes his flame again. Over brooding soundscapes and thumping beats, the production gathers momentum – and so does the car: “Hop into my fast car / We’re taking it way too far tonight”, the story goes, and by the time we’re approaching the first drop, one can only hope the two hot lovers have their car parked somewhere safe with the engine switched off…  
Bluckther x Martin TrevyYour Body’ is out on Warner Music Germany.

Following the release of her debut solo album Renaissance and companion-collection of remixes from the album, Aluna releases a brand-new original song Troublefeaturing Michael Brun & Alicai Harley as the third installment of Spotify’s mint Singles – a companion to its flagship Dance playlist, mint, and a spin-off of the popular Spotify Singles series.


“Trouble”
is a dancehall-infused electropop jam that builds on Aluna’s signature sound, blending soaring vocal harmonies with infectious beats to create an incendiary anthem just in time for this summer’s dancefloors. Working with Haitian DJ Michael Brun and Jamaican-British singerAlicai Harley, the song is an extension of Aluna’s collaborations with Kaytranada, Lido, SG Lewis, and more on her latest album Renaissance.


Says Aluna about the new song: “The thing I love most about collaborating is the surprise factor-it’s like Christmas. The song is about when you have a connection with someone on the dance floor – even if you’re not talking from some silly argument, you end up back together, locked in because your bodies just know how to live together. Alicai Harley knows all about that so it was incredible to watch her dive into the concept and then just lay down the sickest verse I’ve ever heard (and I recorded her on a boat in London!). The production started off pretty traditional but I wanted to pull together the euphoria of house with the sexiness of dancehall so I reached out to Micheal Brun because his ability to beautifully weave originality with straight dance floor power is what I love about him. I cried when I heard the final track, musicians’ tears (the same ones come out at weddings).”

Haiti’s Michael Brun worked with Aluna to help transform “Trouble” into a house-inspired dance hit, a return to Brun’s roots in dance music. In 2020 into 2021, Brun expanded his influence as one of Haiti’s most prominent cultural figures and musicians. He became a Grammy winner for his contributions to international superstar J. Balvin’s Coloresalbum, spearheaded the music industry’s first geofenced digital live tour in three cities, lent his voice to the campaign to remove the term “World Music” from the Grammys, and released his MelaninEP, featuring Nigerian artist Kah Lo, Benin’s Shirazee, and fellow Haitian singer/songwriter Naika.
