Ted The Dillinger
Ted The Dillinger established himself as New York’s Club King after demonstrating his ability to break hit records in the club. If you've ever danced to MIMS' "This is Why I'm Hot," Britney Spears' "Gimme More" or Lindsay Lohan's "Rumors" in a club, chances are you have Ted The Dillinger to thank.

The New York-based DJ continues to break records and rock clubs around the world with his unique mix of hip-hop, pop and electro, and it’s this confluence of styles that also appear on Dillinger's mixes and upcoming Electro Bounce album (Phase One Records). On Bounce, urban beats meet electro pop with all-original tracks, exemplifying the DJ's “Music Without Boundaries” ethos.

While simultaneously doing radio mix shows on stations like 92.3 NOW, K104.7, & PartyFM 105.3, Dillinger's ability to adapt to any crowd continues to make him one of nightlife's most sought-after DJs. You can catch Ted The Dillinger bring the club scene to the airwaves with the Saturday Night Dance Party on 92.3 NOW with DJ Lil Cee. As we move up the dial, K104 listeners tune in Monday-Thursday at 7pm to hear Dillinger. As an intro to the weekend, Friday mornings Dillinger airs his mixshow at 9am with The Woodman, and Friday evenings he features guest DJ’s from around the globe to show their talents. On PartyFM 105.3, Long Island radio heads can’t wait to tune in Monday evenings at 9:30pm for “Bring On The Night” with Dillinger’s mix to reflect on the weekend’s mayhem.

With years of experience comes a level of knowledge most rookies can only dream of. His residencies—Lot 61 and China Club on Mondays, Bungalow 8, Life on Tuesdays, Cheetah on Wednesdays, NV on Thursdays, Big Fridays at the Roxy, and Carbon on Saturdays—have become the stuff of legend, while frequent current sets at spots like Kain, Marquee, Butter, and Lotus bolster the veteran's already impressive resumé. In addition, Dillinger was responsible for setting off parties like Mix @ Borgata and Sunday Night Fever Party at One, and that's not even getting into private parties he's deejayed for celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Criss Angel, Wilmer Valderrama and Kim Kardashian (the latter a New Year's party for Kim Kardashian at Miami's Mansion.)

Like a bottle of Bordeaux in the cellar, Dillinger only improves with each passing year, elevating the art of deejaying to "master" level. There’s a reason why artists like Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Wyclef Jean and Grace Jones handpicked the DJ to travel around the world with them to open their shows. Why Diddy came to him when he needed a DJ for his infamous “White Party". And why promoters and club owners the world over call Dillinger whenever the party needs just the right mix of eclecticism, familiarity, and energy.

A paid DJ since the age of 12, Dillinger’s come a long way from the block parties and barbecues he used to rock as a kid. Despite the elevated profile, Dillinger doesn’t think his role as a DJ has changed much. “I saw everybody coming together,” he recalls. “It didn’t matter what race you were, what language you spoke, or what your attitude was. At the end of the day, it was all about the music. People just had a great time dancing.” He’s never looked back since.

While making a name for himself in the early 90s breaking records like The LOX's “Money, Power & Respect,” Puffy’s “All About The Benjamins,” DMX's “Ruff Ryders' Anthem,” and Black Rob's “Whoa,” Dillinger's eyes—and ears—are always looking forward. “I’m not continuing anything that I brought from the past to the present. I’m rejuvenating myself for the future and going with the times. I’ve performed in nearly every state and a dozen countries, but as long as there are people looking to dance, I’ll keep going. I’ve never had a week off since I started and I don’t plan on taking a vacation now.”
