About Me

I laugh at things that I shouldn't. Commercials drive me batty. I've seen many things in my life, but I know I've barely scratched the surface. I crave travel. I feel pity for those who haven't been out and about. My quest is to discover a new color. Fish and needles cause me to shudder, jump, scream, and/or pass out. People watching is most fun from the shadows. Laughter is best when it hurts. I've been a scrubby club dj for over 10 years here in Rochester, yet, I also do weddings. Go figure. Pictures? Yes. I can be wrong, it's true.
I dj with a sense of humor. I never set myself in one certain genre, blending the styles of music, over powered by my Sesame Street short attention span. The type of music I play is psychedelic electronic music with a dark and dreamy edge to it. I stray in tempo and structure, but for the most part I enjoy the ear humping 4/4 beat.
If I was to break down the genres, a few would be:
techno/industrial/world/ambient/noise/house/psychedelic/60's /scores....
ahh, screw it. There are too many!I currently dj on the 3rd Friday of each month at TiLT for the amazing Burlesque night! By far the hottest monthly party this town has seen in a Rochester minute!Nightclubs I have played in the past:
