Dustin Meyer, born and raised in the Uptown area of Minneapolis, Minnesota has always had a passion for music and a good time. For him, they go hand in hand. That is why he trademarked the saying, “No Music. No Party.” with the United States.
Better known around the world as DJ Dudley D, he has been performing on stage since spinning vinyl records at his high school dances. A self-taught DJ, Dustin has gained vast amounts of knowledge and experience in both music and production while traveling throughout the world DJing for PRINCE!
He obtained valuable first-hand experience performing in hundreds of venues and in front of *literally* thousands of people. This has made him one of the most sought-after DJs in the industry. He also appeared on the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno and a concert DVD, “Prince Live at the Aladdin Las Vegas.”
More than twenty years of professional experience has provided DJ Dudley D with a vast knowledge of music and excellent mic skills. He has held down weekly residencies in the best nightclubs that The Twin Cities has to offer along with working for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lynx, Gophers Men's and Women's Basketball, and MNUFC as Music Director providing the in-arena soundtrack.
Dudley D has mastered the art of playing the right song at the right moment for the occasion. Just tell your guests that you have “Prince’s personal DJ playing your event.” It is sure to turn heads.

2009 saw Espada looking to branch outside of the Twin Cites but also re-evaluating his place within his own community. Teaming up with four of Minneapolis based DJs and designer Adam Garcia of The Pressure, Wants vs Needs was born. Espada brings an eclectic deep cuts mix of Funk, Soul, Disco to the table while maintaining what is relevant in music today. Having performed for crowds in not only the Twin Cites he’s also performed in Austin, Chicago, Portland, San Fransisco, Milwaukee, Winnipeg and has played the SXSW Music Conference as well as Rhymesayers' Soundset festival.
