WICK-IT the Instigator
Wick-it the Instigator, a Nashville-based multi-genre DJ and producer, built his career around mashup culture, splicing together disparate genres into hybrid tracks that pair artists rarely heard side by side, from J. Cole against The White Stripes to Rihanna against Pink Floyd and Sublime against 50 Cent.
His retrospective release, “The Ultimate Mashup Anthology (2007-2022),” spans fifteen years of that mashup output, tracing a body of work rooted in hip-hop, electronic, and bass music rather than a single genre lane. Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, Wick-it has built his profile primarily through digital mashup releases distributed via platforms such as Bandcamp and SoundCloud rather than through major-label backing, cultivating a following among fans of genre-blending club and bass music.
His approach positions recognizable vocal and instrumental elements from mainstream pop, rock, and hip-hop tracks inside DJ-ready bass and electronic productions, a style that has sustained a long-running catalogue release cycle over one and a half decades. The 2007-2022 anthology stands as the clearest documented summary of his sustained mashup-DJ output across that period.
