Aaron Paar a.k.a. Destroyer was born in Nottingham, England
and emigrated to Los Angeles in 1980. Aaron has been an active figure in the
Los Angeles DJ, underground club and recording scene since the early ‘90s. With
a family music background as well as strong underground club roots in the LA
community, Aaron continues to stay at the forefront of cutting edge music
cultures across many styles within the Soul spectrum. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aaron fell in love with hip-hop and the art of DJing in 1984
and never looked back. He got his start spinning during the early ‘90s
rave/loft scene in LA while also hosting a house music show on KXLU radio
called Stomping Grounds. While working at Beat Non Stop records he also was
able to sell his personal mix tapes to people around the world via the store.
Fueled by the records and sounds of a very potent House Music sound, Aaron
decided to take his own adventure into production and created his imprint
Worldship Music in 1995 and in 1996 formed the Teflon Dons along with Dave Fogg
and Greg "Ski" Royal, producing seven 12" singles along with
various remixes and tracks for other labels. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Around 2002 Aaron decided to come up with an alias, which ended up taking a life of its own as "DJ Destroyer." The focus was on spinning
sets that were based heavily in hip-hop mixed with other genres. Aaron joined mash-up pioneers the Inhumanz and took blending sounds and genres seamlessly in
clubs and bars around the globe. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Destroyer is founder and chief resident of Strictly Social,
one of LA's longest running and premier eclectic soul nights. Strictly Social
has bought independent artists such as Sa-Ra Creative Partners, Lisa Shaw, Sy Smith, Zo!, Joi,
and Sango to name a few while taking it to other cities such as NY, Atlanta and
SF. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Residencies over the years such as Bounce Rock Skate, Fast
Fwd, Blazing 45's, LA's JumpNFunk as well as nights at countless clubs and bars
across the city has cemented Destroyer'ss solid footing in the LA DJ community
expressing his unique perspective of music to a new generation of party people.
Destroyer has DJed alongside the likes of DJ Scratch, Kenny Dope, Rich Medina,
J Rocc, Dam Funk, Lefto and Shinehead, to name a few, as well as collaborating
with many in the Los Angeles underground DJ scene. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Aaron is also a member of the highly respected DJ collective
Umoja Hi-Fi Soundsystem who continues to spread the sound of unity throughout
the LA landscape hosting and guesting at various functions. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
