About Me

.. .. Dru Deep x Dru Deep x Ed.+integrity+music x music x integrity= self= success .....DJ for 12 years + up and coming to your town soon! He was given his first turntable and rec @ 3. Started playing the clarinet at 8 and then followed w/ the sax, and drums. Was brought up on a wide range of music with artists like Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Prince, Tribe Called Quest, Kool Moo Dee, James Brown, Dead Kennedys, Sugarhill Gang, Run Dmc, NWA, Chaka Chan, The Time, NOFX, The Pharcyde, Shela E., Cameo, E-40, The Doors,Parliment, Brass Construction, Too Short, De La Soul, Digital Underground, Rick James, Full Force, Jesse Johnson, Mass Production, The Gap Band, Earth Wind And Fire, Jimi Hendrix, amongs others....He always had a fascination w/ recs and DJ's ever since he saw the movies Saturday Night Fever and Beat Street .He bought hip hop records and disco cuts and would try to make mixed tapes w/ one ghetto turntable. When Dru was a freshman in high school he met one of his best friends to this day,dankedoutdee,(dmitri from the lower haight,megadank4200) went to his first rave at 14 w/ him ,was turned out by the experience, but was not completely feelin the music. Dru finally went to a party where the Wicked Crew were playing.( Jeno,Garth,Markie,Thomas) and then started identifying a different sound...The SF Sound.It wasn't till he heard a Mark Farina tape called "Cookin In the Kitchen" and found his place in house music. From then Dee bought some Gemini turntables and it was on. They went to Solid Grooves rec shop in San Jose,CA.( Owner and DJ Harry Who) The only real underground house music store in SJ. They bought some shity tracks in the booty bin and didn't even listen to anything else because they wanted more traxx for the buck to try and start beat matching. After that Dru came back when he had some $$ found the labels Cajual,KMS,KDJ,UR,Relief,prescription/Balance,Organico,Downt own 161 amongs others. From then on ....... Dru and Dee would play @ the high school parties w/ their ghetto equipment. Finally @ 15 he got his first and only 1200. At 18 he got his brothers 21 year old ID. At 19 he played his first real gig @ the famous Top in SF on Lower Haight St. He played w Marc Anthony, Dmitri,and Andrew Macari (GreenHouse). From then on Dru was playing here and there.Clubs like Waves,The Usual,The Spy Club, Club Ibiza, Club Liquid SF,Nickie's,The Velvet Shop,MNL,The Blue Monkey, Johnny V's, Blowfish, The Agenda,The Cactus Club, Elixer, Clydons, The Sofa Lounge, The Brit among other clubs and underground parties. 11 years later and this is where we are all at. From 1994 to 2005 Solid Grooves has helped establish an underground community in the SJ bay area,and along the way educating some minds of what House Music is. Fate as it seems has happened. From growing up learning, listening, hearing ....Dru finally had got his chance to become the house buyer.After 11 years of buisness Harry has stepped down and left the buisness.As of January 2005 Dru has stepped in to keep on w / the Movement of underground house Music in SJ. Over the years he's played, grown up with and have been influenced by folks like Harry Who, Rick Preston,M3,Arturo Garces, Lucas (EBE), Mark Anthony SF,Andrew Macari, Dmirti from the Lower Haight, Rasoul, Hector Moralez, among other local bay area DJ's and producers. He's been learning programs like Logic and DP3 from his boys the Sexicanz. He's done a few tracks w/ Mike and Dee, and will have them out sometime soon in the near future on the COA label. Past yearse vents w/ MAC Makeup Charity Events,Stanford WInter Solstice Marathon,Delta Funk Crew,Hector Moralez of Fries & Bridges, John Larner and Slater Hogan- Muzique Boutique, Deron-Goodfamily,Miss Megan-MegaDank 4200,Grainger-Uncut Records,M3- Green Gorilla-Velvet Shop and Mj Gamez Velvet Shop to name a few.
