San Fran based DJ REAL premieres Pushups and talks forthcoming LP, Theyll Say Yes!
"...musician
and multi-media artist DJ REAL is a visionary with a wicked sense of
humor. Not unlike other genre-subverting auteurs like Frank Zappa, Ween
or Ariel Pink, DJ REALs recordings explore surreal topics and subjects
with a wide range of styles."

Last
Night: The Monthly Rumpus w/ Daniel Handler, Tony DuShane, DJ Real
by
Jennifer Maerz
"...DJ Real was a very strange,
and strangely wonderful combination of lo-fi recording artist and Andy
Kaufman comedian. His act included an original song about bullies
asking for permission to cause pain titled "Please Let Me Step on Your
Face" that included the line, "I suppose it's gross, but I'm gonna put
my toes in your nose."

DJ Real - Personal Growth
by John Ross
"...With twenty tracks total, Personal Growth, gets to the
point/funny and carries through until the very end. With no songs over
three minutes long, nothing is overdone. There are no overly repetitive
choruses that beat the jokes into you. Just absurdly clever lyrics and
fantastic musicianship, all of which are written, performed and
recorded by Nick Stargu aka DJ Real..."

Getting Real
by Kathleen Cei
"...The voices and beats are all Stargu's,
recorded in his New Britain bedroom on
an 8-track recorder, using a Nord Lead synthesizer and Boss Dr. Rhythm
drum
machine. "I have a Sam Ash card," he explains. His act is a
combination of Andy Kaufman, Weird Al Yankovich, Devo and Primus.."
