dbo:abstract
  • DJ Kool (real name John Bowman) is an American DJ and rapper born in 1958 who, in the late 1980s, produced several popular rap singles. Born in 1958 in Washington, D.C., his influence from his years of working the go-go and rap circuits became apparent in his music. He recorded with creative funk music from 1988 to 1992 he was then picked up by CLR records in 1992 he was then picked up by American recordings in 1996 and released the chart topping single %22Let Me Clear My Throat,%22 which peaked at #8 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1997. The Blue Meanie uses this as his theme song in The Monster Factory pro wrestling. In 1996 in the U.S. The song prominently featured a sample of %22The 900 Number%22 by DJ Mark the 45 King, (that song featured a sample from Marva Whitney's %22Unwind Yourself%22, repeated over a breakbeat for six minutes). The song also began by sampling %22Hollywood Swinging%22 by Kool and the Gang. The song is a recognizable dance floor-filler, and the track remains popular to this day. DJ Kool was featured on Mýa's 2006 single %22Ayo!%22 from her 2008 album Liberation. He was also featured on two tracks on Will Smith's 2005 album Lost and Found. On January 9, 2015, mix-master DJ Cummerbund released %22Uptown Funk - Macho Mix%22 which brilliantly fused a track from Savage and Kool's 2003 song %22Hit The Floor%22 with the hit song by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.
