DJ GQ was born Gary Hardie (to Chinese Jamaican/Cuban Parentage) on August 10, 1978, in Miami, Florida. After moving to Jamaica in his childhood Jamaican American.
Currently residing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, DJ GQ has become a mainstay of the Fort Lauderdale and Miami club scene. He is widely credited with being the pioneer of reggae/hip-hop blends and, as of 2007, has distributed over 300,000 mixtapes worldwide. In recent years, these mixtapes have been entitled "Let 'Em Know" and numbered sequentially. The origin of this name is a sound bite that he has continued to use in which rap artist yells "GQ...let 'em know!" This sound bite has become somewhat of a signature for DJ GQ. Of note, his cd "Let 'Em Know 17", which was hosted by Birdman, received wide acclaim, including a positive review in USA Today and "Let 'Em Know 18" hosted by Styles P was positively reviewed in Source Magazine. DJ GQ's "Let Em Know Part 19" was hosted by Miami Rapper , and Part 20 is currently in the works, and is said to be hosted by hip-hop legend DMX.
DJ GQ the dj who other dj's envy behind closed doors. Masterful blends of hip-hop, reggae, pop, house, and even rock n roll set DJ GQ apart as the favorite among partygoers, as well as club owners, who enjoy high-energy, enthusiastic crowds that last until the lights come on. From a 14 year old promoter in Jamaica Dancehalls, to a nightclub icon in Miami, DJ GQ's resume reads like that of the music industry elite. He's rocked venues in every major U.S. market, from chic boutique parties on South Beach crowds of over 40,000 in L.A. He's wowed international hotspots from Belize to Qatar, from Romania to the Bahamas. DJ GQ has artist affiliations form Sean Paul to DMX and from Akon to Maxi Priest; and his corporate affiliations have included Pepsi, AT&T, Coca-Cola, Adidas, Myspace, and so many more. DJ GQ's work has been lauded by such media outlets as MTV, BET, The Source, USA Today, The New Times, and countless others.
Still, DJ GQ has remained ever the student, diligently observing and adapting to the music culture; growing in experience and skill, while avoiding fads and the lure of forsaking his craft for quick money. It is this ethic and aggressive pursuit of excellence that has kept, and will keep, DJ GQ one of the busiest and most respected djs in the game, and is currently the newest mixer on WHYI-FM Y100 .
In 2008 DJ GQ released "Bad Boys", featuring DMX, Junior Reid and Dawg E. Slaughter, which was supposed to be the first single off of the "Let Em Know" Album. The project was pulled back.
In 2010 DJ GQ released "Wanna see you move" a club track featuring Mr. Vegas and Chaos of Grind Mode currently being played in nightclubs in the south.
DJ GQ's current artist affiliations include a veritable laundry list of the most popular reggae and hip-hop personalities, including DMX, Sean Paul, Mr. Vegas, Elephant Man, Junior Reid, Akon, Birdman, Mr. Cheeks, Pitbull and many others. Some of DJ GQ's credentials include:

Scoach is a joint venture by SIX Group and Deutsche Börse. It provides an exchange trading platform for structured products.
Scoach is owned by the luxembourgish Scoach Holding S.A.. Deutsche Börse AG currently holds 50% plus one share, while the SIX Group AG is in possession of 50% minus one share. The Holding’s subsidiary Scoach Europa AG is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, while Swiss equivalent Scoach Schweiz AG is based in Zurich.
The company was founded on January 1, 2007 and focuses on the rapidly expanding structured products market. Scoach provides the biggest European exchange for structured products.
With the formation of Scoach, the Stuttgart Exchange Euwax received it's first German non-OTC competitor.
History
On May 5, 2006, SWX Group and Deutsche Börse announced they would join forces in the options and warrents market.
The contract for the so-called project ‘Alex’ was signed by both parties on October 23, 2006. Shortly after, on January 1, 2007, the company started operating. Alex has been renamed Scoach on September 1, 2007.
On April 28, 2008 Scoach was able to move 300.000 products in Germany from the traditional Open Cry to the electronic high-performance trading platform Xetra. Currently 260 financial institutions are able to access the world’s biggest spectre of structured products using the platform.
At year end 2010 the number of products exceeded 510.000.
Trading options in Frankfurt
Using Xetra, Scoach is able to process orders within seconds. 50% of all trades are executed within half a second.
Since April 2008 the European order-flow is combined for the trading of structured products.
The issuer has to provide bid and ask prices from 9am to 10pm. This makes trading possible at all times, even without any turnover.
The issuer is required to transmit both ask and bid prices using two dedicated lines to the infrastructure of the exchange.
The prices must be valid for fixed minimum volumes. For investment products this volume is set at 10.000€, and for leverage products it is set at 3.000€. Usually, however, bigger orders are being executed at the current ask and bid prices.
Product Diversity
In May 2011 over 680.000 products were available for trading in Frankfurt. This is the biggest amount available at one single exchange in Europe.
