OUR STORY

What started out as a way for a group of friends (Edward "Bigg Mixx" Van Wright, "Supa" Sam Boateng, Kevin "Kay Vee" Van Wright and Derrick "D-Dott" Davis) to stay out of trouble and have some fun (while making a little money) has evolved into a family owned and operated endeavor. 

Good Tymes Entertainment (originally named the Critical Sounds Crew) started out on Harrison Avenue in the Bronx, New York in 1991. Supa Sam was about to turn 16 and decided that he wanted a party. Bigg Mixx and Kay Vee, two brothers from across the street, were known for being able to put together "sound systems" from old pieces of their mother's stereo systems, pieced together a music system for the party. They invited all of their friends from around the way and it was on! The party was a huge success, and the crew figured that the could repeat that formula to make a little money.

Supa Sam became the DJ, practicing and perfecting his skills; Bigg Mixx was the sound engineer, who could put together a sound system from old component systems, and make it sound better than crews with professional quality amplifiers and speakers. "Critical Sounds" would rent out apartments for the night to throw house parties and people from all around the Bronx would come to their house parties.
