John Rickman III aka. Exzile of Damage Control ATL - has been living and breathing music since the early 90's. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, his unique style of mixing all types of Breakbeats, including Dark Florida Breaks, Miami Hard-Hitting Electro Bass, E-Hop or Booty Breaks, even BreakStep (today's newest flavor of Breaks with Dubstep influence), has gained him a dedicated following not only in the Atlanta Scene and throughout the Southeast and across the USA. He consistently tears up the dance floor with his technical style of mixing, beat juggling, and amazing track selection. Some say he is the darkest, dopest Breaks DJ on the scene. He is one DJ you do not want to miss!
