Throughout my life, i have been surrounded and deeply involved with many aspects of creativity and expression...both audio and visual...from growing up with a mother and brother who are practicing visual artists, to being forced to learn the piano and join the school band....one thing led to another, and here i am, trying to get my MFA in graphic design, while attempting to spin out as much as possible as a breakbeat / House music Disc Jockey..
I've been raving/partying since 1999, in both the bay area (my home) and LA (i lived there for 4 years while attending college). before dance music, i was heavilly into punk rock during my skateboard days in highschool. i found the same raw, kinetic energy of punk within allot of electronic music. both types of music touched a part of me that wanted to move my body, whether it was to mosh or bust a move....after all, dancing to music is something universal within humanity. sometimes, we cant help but want to dance: it is the physical expression of the music we hear. this aspect of sound and dance is what has always attracted me to music.
thru my years of going to parties/raves/clubs/gatherings, i have developed an appreciation for all the different types of dance music and subsequent sub genres (even sub-sub genres!), whether it was house, breaks, jungle, or hardcore. out of all of them, however, i felt a strong affinity for the house and breaks sounds....house for its 4 on the floor bad-assedness and overall funk, and breaks for...well, the fucking BREAKS! (u know what i mean...) Ideally, my sound as a DJ is an even mix of both house and breaks....because, within a set, i find it interesting to hear the 4/4 hit of house, to then be broken up by the mixing in of breaks...but whatever, ill honestly spin anything that makes me want to dance, regardless of genre.
I began spinning House music in 2001, and over the years my style has evolved as I became more and more infatuated with the breakbeat...normally im quite calm and collected... but when behind the decks with willing listeners/dancers in front of me, i go fucking nuts! i know its really cliche for a dj to say this, but im addicted to that feeling you get when controlling the music that influences people to move and feel... so thats me in a nutshell i guess...if you see me at a party, come say wats up! (maybe ill have a new demo in my pocket to give ya ^_^) aight people, thats enuff about me...see ya on the dancefloor!
