DJ Assault, born Craig Diamonds, is a prominent figure in the world of ghetto tech, a genre that merges the pounding beats of Detroit techno with the explicit and oftentimes humorous narratives of ghetto house. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, DJ Assault has been shaking up dance floors since the early 1990s with his distinctive blend of fast-paced electronic music and booty-shaking hip-hop. His career has seen the release of numerous tracks, mixtapes, and remixes that encapsulate the raw energy of urban Detroit.

Renowned for creating tracks with explicit and catchy hooks, DJ Assault has cultivated a reputation for his unapologetic approach to music production. His signature song, "Ass n Titties," has become an emblematic party anthem, garnering a cult following and influencing a generation of electronic music producers. His anthological series, "Straight up Detroit Sh*t," showcases his skill in crafting gritty beats and chronicles the evolution of the Detroit sound. Meanwhile, his ability to remix tracks like "Imagination" and "Clap Your Handz," among others, speaks to his versatility and enduring relevance in the ever-evolving landscape of electronic dance music. Despite the explicit nature of much of his work, DJ Assault continues to be a definitive voice in shaping the sound and culture of both Detroit's underground scene and the wider realm of electronic music.
