About Me

I Started mixing Hip Hop in late 1991 on legendary hip hop producers "DEESKEE’S" turntables......... Got my first set of decks (1200’s) in 1992............... I Did hip hop untill I heard Jeno, Tony Hewitt & Hipp-E in late 1992 Then went into The store BPM and was hooked on house music, and buying as many records as I could. I was always supporting the bay area underground (RAVE)&(CLUB) scenes and was at all the great events that helped shape the electronic music movement today. I worked very hard on learning the craft of mixing house music. I remember spending hours and hours working on my mixing and finding the best music. At this time I started giving out loads of tapes to other dj’s and promoters and was givin the the chance to open up a major event in SF. I Played my 1st major party in 1993 along side my hero’s TONY, JENO & HIPP-E and have been mixing House at all kinds of venues ever since, I Have made many friends along My long journey of playing records.....I Have been able to mix in many clubs and warehouses around the USA, From Coast to Coast, Exotic Islands , and mexico...not to mention some dark smoke filled basements as well.... I have been invited to mix with some of the best djs in the world @ some of the best events to ever take place....Im an old schooler, I was hanging out in clubs when I really shouldnt have been....(around 17 years old).....I have been involved with "THE GATHERING" here in San Francisco for over 10 years as a Dj, and about 14 years as a promoter and am Very Proud of it... Im also currently a resident dj Along with Tony Hewitt and Jeno @ INTO THE SOUND and with the RYTHMATIK crew, & The NORTH BAY LOCKDOWN family. I am always doing remixes and production work with house music. I like to mix deep house, disco, acid house, and soulful house music... I Married my sweetheart I met at a party, we have done some great (into the sound ) clubs here in SF... And look forward to starting a family soon.....So life is great...and house music has been great to me.....remember what jack said "HOUSE IS A FEELING" Just want to give a shout out to all the family , friends , Dj’s ,,clubbers ,and fans..Who have always supported me & My Music & A very big thank you to all the promoters who have hired me to do what I love to do....MIX...
