Verbatum

Someway, somehow, Verbatum takes the most forgettable pop songs on the radio and, through some act of genius, actually makes them enjoyable. He has made a name for himself by ripping lyrics straight from Top 40 artists like Kanye West or T-Pain, and laying them over his original and inspired beats; little wonder, then that he's been voted Best DJ for the second year in a row, and the third time overall. Playing every Saturday night at 51 Wharf, there is no hip-hop artist, beat, or genre Verbatum doesn't remix. No matter what he's working with, Verbatum's playlists can turn any room into the wildest dance party you've ever seen.
