Dae Deep :: Mmmmm....now that's deep!

About Me

I have had a love for vinyl since I was 13. Throwing down tracks such as the Egyptian Lover's 'Egypt, Egypt' and Cybotron's 'Clear', I tried to find a sound that identified who I was. Throughout the 1990's, I layed low and emersed myself into the hip-hop culture. I am talking TRUE hip-hop. KRS-One, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Beastie Boys and Gangstarr just to name a select few. After discovering House music in the late 90's, I have never looked back.
I have been blessed to play some of the most fantastic clubs in Wisconsin with some even more fantastic people. My favorite tracks to play are on the deep and funky side of house. You will find me regularly playing tracks from artists such as Demarkus Lewis, Olivier Desmet, Troydon, Slater Hogan, John Larner, Swirl Peepz, Kinky Movement, Jason Hodges, LittleMen, Ken Christensen, Slum Science, Da Sunlounge, No Assembly Firm, Matt Shrewd, Sound Navigators, Leon Louder, Joey Youngman, Bryan Jones, Natural Rhythm, Late Night Society, Jamanta Crew, Manuel Sahagun, Iz & Diz, Jay West, GreensKeepers, JT Donaldson, Troydon, Uneaq, Chuck Love and the Inland Knights.
I am also heading up the digital side of DAE Recordings. Be sure to look for DAE Recordings tracks at all of your favorite digital download shops.
