DJ Assault aka Craig Diamonds "The Street Narrator"
Craig Adams may be DJ Assault, but DJ Assault is not Craig Adams. Although the two look and dress exactly the same, it is immediately noticeable that while producer/re-mixer DJ Assault is busy pimping the bitches and slapping the hoes, Craig is busy building his empire, shopping around a "ghetto as hell" cartoon while simultaneously developing a whole new genre of music.

"DJ Assault is really just a character," states Craig. "His style is pimp -- he's got that player vibe. DJ Assault has the perfect lifestyle: he can say and do whatever he wants. He doesn't have any worries. He has nice cars, and doesn't have one woman because he can have them all. Whatever people fantasize about is what Assault is." Craig, on the other hand, is quiet, reserved and observant, a man of few words, who'd rather let his art speak for itself.

Born and raised in Detroit, Craig came to dance music like many of his Motown brethren, via the radio. Detroit radio jocks like the Electrifying Mojo, The Wizard (Jeff Mills' alter ego) and Chicago's Hotmix Five all made lasting impressions on the young artist. Mixing records since 1982, Craig has been indoctrinating people with his own take on electronic and dance music, which is very much an amalgam of his radio predecessors. From the Mojo's funky eclecticism to Mills' introduction of scratching to non-Hip Hop genres of music, his style is something that could only have come from Detroit. Along the way, DJ Assault was born.

Anything is game when Assault DJs, be it house, techno, jungle, R & B or whatever -- as long as booties are bouncing. He has rocked parties around the world, including sets in Germany, Holland, France, Spain and throughout North America. Each time it's the same: When he steps up to the decks and unleashes that high-speed booty-shake, the audience has only one option -- to shut up and dance.

Assault is also the man behind a whole new set of beats -- the man responsible for some of the most infectious hooks this side of the Mississippi. From his early work on Assault Rifle and Electro Funk Records to his newer releases on Jefferson Ave/ Intuit-Solar, Assault has been making some of the most talked about booty-bass tracks in existence. Songs like "Ass 'n Titties" and "Yo Relatives" have turned into genre classics, even if Craig doesn't exactly cotton to the terms people have come up with to label this sound (hint: asking Craig about "ghetto-tech" is the surest way to silence the man). "When I play a gig, I'll play anything -- from bass to techno to jungle to hip-hop to house," explains Craig. "But as a producer, I call the music that I make accelerated funk, like what you'll hear when you listen to the new DJ Assault album, Jefferson Ave."

Currently DJ ASSAULT A.K.A. CRAIG DIAMONDS "The STREET NARRATOR" is hard at work with his new label and a place to finally call home "JEFFERSON AVE". On this label, the first full length mix CD is available entitled "Sumthin' 2 Shake Yo' Azz 2". There is also a 12" release for this CD. Another 12" entitled "The Accelerated Funk E.P." is also available. Look for a lot more vinyl releases in the future containing some classic DJ ASSAULT re-mixes of earlier recordings. Assault is also the winner of the "Detroit Music Outstanding Hip Hop DJ Award" for both 2001 and 2002. Now, all that can be done is to wait and watch Accelerated Funk take over the world one party at a time.
