About Me

I started DJ'ing in the mid eighties by way of the whole hiphop and breakdancing craze that was taking place then. My friend and neighbour from across the street Shawn Davis (DJ BASS) had a mixer and a turntable and I had records & another turntable so we started getting together and playing music at little parties on the army base in El Paso, Texas where we lived at the time. Back then we used to mix with belt driven tables, a radioshack mixer and we even mixed in tapes if we needed to. My how times have changed! As time went on my taste in music kept evolving and I began taking interest in reggae, jazz, punk, industrial and new wave music. Living on the army base when I was growing up was great because we met alot of other kids who brought music and mixtapes from all over the world allowing me to hear mixes from DJ's like RED ALERT of New York, THE WIZARD aka Jeff Mills of Detroit and JULIAN JUMPIN' PEREZ of Chicago. When I was old enough I began to frequent nightclubs in El Paso and Juarez with my friends and soon began DJ'ing in some of those very clubs. Then came the raves and techno and I was hooked. Clubber for life! In 1994 I moved to Dallas and got involved with the rave/club scene there as soon as I could. These days I am working on producing my own tracks and would like to continue DJ'ing everywhere I can.

My Interests

ARTISTIC EXPRESSION THROUGH DJ'ING AND THE USE OF ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS TURNTABLES TONE MODULES DRUM MACHINES COMPUTERS ETC.

I'd like to meet:

Other DJ/Producers/Musician types. Promoters seeking a DJ to book at Club events/Parties. A few things I can't stand are sinicism, arrogance, music snobbery or wannabe celeb bullshit attitudes. (Things I regretably may have displayed at one time or another due to immaturity, insecurity or whatever drug/alcohol I may have been on;) On the other hand, I love real people, no pretense, innovaters, independent thinkers, creativity, artists, foreign language/cultures & positive, happy people.
