DJ Candlestick is a prominent figure in the Houston music scene, particularly renowned for his "Chopped Not Slopped" remixes that pay homage to the city's storied tradition of chopped and screwed music. This DJ and producer has built a reputation for taking contemporary hits and deep tracks across various genres and transforming them through the chopped and screwed technique, a style pioneered by the legendary DJ Screw. Synonymous with slowing down the tempo, chopping up the beat, and creating a unique, syrupy sound pattern, DJ Candlestick has become a torchbearer of this iconic Southern sound, infusing it with a modern twist that resonates with both old heads and new listeners alike.

With a diverse range of "ChopNotSlop" remixes, including "LARGER THAN LIFE," "Mixed Emotions," and the poignant "Come as You Are," DJ Candlestick continually showcases his mastery of the craft. His deft touch not only revitalizes tracks but also introduces a trancelike quality that alters the listening experience, eliciting new emotions from familiar tunes. Through releases like "WASTELAND - CHOPPED NOT SLOPPED" and "RUN iT BACK RUNNiNGBACK," he has cultivated a following that eagerly anticipates each new drop. DJ Candlestick is not just preserving a uniquely Texan tradition; he's reinterpreting it, ensuring it remains a vibrant and evolving genre of the American musical landscape.
