Nerve DJs was established by four prominent disc jockeys in Cleveland, Ohio. Not satisfied with simply getting music from a local record pool, these four disc jockeys established a union where local and regional disc jockeys could benefit from a union or an association of DJs and musicians in the area for the purpose of economic empowerment. The Association was incorporated in 2003. Nerve Djs realized that bringing disc jockeys together under one house, an economic force to be reckoned with would be established in northern Ohio. After achieving immediate success, this philosophy was used to branch out to other states. Today, Nerve DJs has members throughout the states and beyond. The purpose of the Nerve DJs is not to just distribute promotional MP3s for establishing a music library, but again, to create an organization were both artists and disc jockeys would benefit economically by partnerships with each other and industry giants such as Monster Products, Rane, Stanton, Pioneer, Numark, Native Instruments, and other industry giants, audio manufacturers and software suppliers. Unlike record pools and MP3 pools that simply distribute promotional tracks to disc jockeys and those who claim to be disc jockeys, Nerve DJs boasts that they are providing a service that far outweighs anything that a MP3 pool and a record pool could ever provide. Since the early days of Nerve DJs, we have presented showcases, conferences, tours, conference calls and workshops that demonstrate hands-on techniques from some of the biggest manufacturers of DJ Products. At our 2007 event Rane sponsored us and sent DJ Jazzy Jay to present the new TTM 57 Rane. With much success as a DJ Coalition and our membership growing into the thousands, in 2010 we added The NerveDJs Industry Bi-Weekly Conference call bridging the Artists with the DJs that break trax. 2012 we began working on www.NerveDJsMixtapes.com and went public February 2013, it was a slow start but has since gained a lot.
