Dance (at one time or another I have studied: Jazz, Flamenco, West African, Irish Step, Lindy Hop Swing, Hip Hop & Bharata Natyam (classical South Indian)), DJing, World Travel, Cultural Enrichment, Small Business, Peace-keeping, Equality, Spirituality... Helping good people reach their goals. I'm an idealist. Ideally, I would like to open a nightclub where the best of everything is played -- house of all kinds, breaks, hip hop, reggae... And there would be a special "detox room" where the floor is covered with grass and everyone has to take their shoes off before entering the dancefloor. No one would be able drink alcohol on the dancefloor because it poisons our bodies and would kill the grass. Water and green tea would be the house specials because they are the best liquids for energy (not Redbull! BLEH!) The visuals would not be of naked women, but of awe-inspring scenes from nature. And if it could be done without hurting the creatures, I would have a nightly butterfly release inside the club. Meanwhile, the beats would be organic, soulful and tribal -- calling us all back to ourselves. Sounds like a nice dream, huh? Watch me make it happen! And just so you don't get it twisted and think I'm all one-sided... Plump DJs and Meat Katie would be rockin' the other room! Don't EVEN try to second-guess me!
Fellow DJs, producers, dancers and househeadz alike. Especially those who are NOT into the scene's BS politics and care about the music, the vibe and the message most... People who like to get down wit' their bad selves!The original Soul Train line
Add to My Profile | More VideosCan you groove like this? Then you can get down with me. (Sorry Divinity, I had to steal this one. It was just too funky!)
I love house music! The French style peak-hour sh*t all the way down to the deepest of soulful gospel house. All house, except hard house and cheesy Top 40 remixes. I spin it, I dance to it and soon I'll be producing it. Try to keep up... Generally speaking, I love most all music except trance, ear-bleeding techno, country and mainstream hiphop. Jazz and world music rule. Especially latin rhythms - SAMMMMBA! My all-time favorites? Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Prince, Buena Vista Social Club, Marisa Montes... Favorite electronic music producers: Claude Monnet, Dennis Ferrer, DJ Gregory, Grant Nelson, Brian Tappert, Plump DJs... Favorite record labels: Swing City, Defected, SSOH, Soulfuric, Fingerlickin'... I have my own sound, which my friends call "DIVA GLAM" its like Peak-hour French disco-garage latin-tribal-breaks. If Dennis Ferrer and Claude Monnet had (by some miracle) a love child, her name would be Wahine.
MUSICALS! West Side Story, Flower Drum Song, The Sound of Music, Lilo & Stitch... oh yeah, and Aliens (yeah, I'm serious!)
I HATE television! Or rather, I hate the crappy programming that is on TV. I swear that my brain cells die whenever I turn on the tube... The only TV show that ever really captured my attention in a major way was "Twin Peaks." I think that was the last time an absolutely original program was aired on commercial TV. :( Although, I have to admit that being a lover of dance, I will watch anything with dancing in it -- even if it's BAD dancing. I'm guilty... ;P
