Career

Tittsworth established his own record label, T&A Records, in 2006 with his partner, DJ Ayres.[2] T&A Records has played an important role in cultivating multiple movements in dance music early on, especially club and Moombahton (a widely influential genre pioneering reggaeton rave and pop)

Tittsworth has released over a dozen vinyl records, including Ammo's last release[3] (A-Trak's battle imprint), a highly sought after white Serato record[4] and a variety of dance records since 2005.[5]

Tittsworth's debut album featured Pitbull, Nina Sky, Kid Sister and The Federation. The Pitbull collaboration predated the EDM influx and gained the eye of the Ministry of Sound. Follow up songs included the moombahton track Pendejas,[6] a genre leading contribution (2).

In 2010 Tittsworth helped open, as co‐owner, U Street Music Hall.[1] U Street Music Hall was named as a top ten venue in the US by Rolling Stone as of 2013.[7] Tittsworth would be a critical part of the club's operations, bookings and A&R, and would also DJ dozens of nights in its history.[8]

In 2014 Tittsworth released a single, "Que Fresca",[9] with reggaeton veteran DJ Blass. His next single "After The Dance" featured Q-Tip and Theophilus London and was lauded by critics as "A timeless dancefloor motivator that would fit as well in a set with say "Rapture" as "Step Into A World".[10] He has appeared on worldwide festivals, from ADE[11] to raves like Hard Day of the Dead.[12] Vibe named him as one of "10 Dance Music DJs You Should Know By Now" in 2014 as well.

In 2019 Tittsworth co-established Hermanito Label alongside moombahton creator Dave Nada and quickly recognized by Billboard (not only for their start but also impact), Hardfest's Friendship Cruise, Remezcla, NestHQ and Dancing Astronaut.

In 2022 Tittsworth opened Crybaby, an independent music venue in downtown Oakland (2,3), including booking known acts as Juvenile & Mannie Fresh, Trash Talk, Baby Tate, the Alchemist, Kamaiyah, London Elektricity, Guapdad4000, Andre Power, LaGoony Chonga, Lil Texas, Dam Funk, Machinedrum. All while also maintaining his reputation for sonic excellence.

In 2023 Tittsworth was recognized by the City of Baltimore for his contribution, creation and development of club music.
