Although he may be a little less visible than his counterparts, longtime DJ and music connoisseur Maseo has always been known as a DJ's DJ. His technical skills obviously hold weight, otherwise he wouldn't have been De La Soul's DJ for more than 20 years, but it's his song selection that has always made Maseo a must see for hip-hop lovers and beatheads alike. As of late it seems like a lot of DJs are leaning heavy on the disco tip, and even though you can expect the same from Maseo, there's no question he'll dabble in everything from funk and soul to old school hip-hop and beyond. The event will be for "The Goodness" series, which has brought out some top-billing hip-hop DJs, including Babu, DJ Revolution, Large Professor and most recently People Under the Stairs. The party continues with Maseo, and if you're lucky, maybe he'll belt out his signature laugh. (J. Min)
