the Labwerx crew has been working in tandem with Underground Syndicate recently, and a huge help to the success that we are enjoying today has been made possible from this man: an old school Florida Breaks DJ who shares the same ideals as us – Loyalty, Dedication, and PLUR – none other than DJ Exzile himself. Be sure to look out for him and other Underground Syndicate DJs on future Labwerx events, and check his 20 min mix out that finished 10th out of over 200 DJs in a Scion mix competition.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, John W. Rickman III aka. Exzile has been into music since the early 1990’s. He was 10 years old when he started listening to Hip Hop and Booty Bass music. He craved for more music each day until he was old enough to start mixing in night clubs and bars. He got his first residency at the age of 20 in March 2000 at Area 51 Night Club in Lawrenceville, Georgia, as the house DJ where he mixed and re-mastered CD’s, vinyl and controlled audio amplifiers for live playback, and also controlled lighting for high volume clientele on the dance floor. From there his passion for music and genre jumping accelerated. He then got his second residency in October 2002 at The Atlanta Ice Forum, where the Atlanta Thrashers hockey team practiced, mixing Top 40 mainstream music with Electronic music such as Trance and Break-beats while people ice skated during public sessions on Friday and Saturday nights as the House DJ, taking his career to unimaginable limits. As his non stop drive for the quest of finding newer and better music to mix with, He landed his third residency in January 2004 at Jillian’s Entertainment at Discover Mills Mall where he controlled the dance floor mixing DVD music videos, with high energy dance music such as House, Break-Beats, Trance, Top 40, Hip Hop, Rap and 80’s all together for high volume clientele, and Rocking the House!!! October 2006 Exzile comes out with FearStyle Recordingz his future production company in the making, along with his first Promo CD called Negative Aggression Phaze 1 “Fear What You Feel”, and was also booked for Cyber Raver 6.0 at the Jungle Night Club in Atlanta that month as well. Following his dream and never giving up starts meeting some major contacts in the music industry that will help him in the future of this business. As you can see there’s nothing stopping Exzile from achieving his dreams, goals, ambitions, desires and passion for what he loves to do and his way of surviving life.
