Music has always been a big part of my life and this seemed to be a good way to share it with others. What type of music do you specialize in? -I've been know to play everything from progressive house to nu skool breaks and speed garage, and everything in between, the common link being the huge basslines found in almost every track I own. More specifically house with a nu skool vibe and dirty electro. Most treasured record and why? -Such a tough question. My records are like the children I don't have, I can't play favorites.

You name it and it's happened to me at one point or another, messed up needles, bad sound, no monitors, stupid requests, people messing with records that are playing, parties busted 5 mins into my set or just before I'm about to go on, hell I even came close to getting jumped once (ingnorant hicks seem to think fucking with "ravers" is funny). So yes. Are you a resident Dj, if so where? -Not at the moment. Any other info? -I have new mix up in the works which will be available before the new year. Hope to see some of you out at future events, and feel free to say hi as I am still fairly new to the area and I'm always up for meeting new people. |
