About Me

Originally hailing form Cleveland,OH..I now reside on Charlotte, NC..passing a couple of place along the way, ie NYC/NJ, RDU,Eastern NC, Atlanta to name a few.. I have been exposed to music at an earlier age(4-5) listening to music ranging from Mandrill,Earth Wind,& Fire, Blue Magic, Black Ivory, The Moments, Whatnauts, James Brown, Pfunk to name a few ..One of my first exposures to Djng was in 1978( I was 7 going on 8)..My uncle was a dj in the NYC/Conn area..that was the first time I saw a Dj set-up..He wasn't doing the quick-mix method but from that point on..I was hooked..The record that changed my life was "The Adventures of GrandMaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" released in 1981(which every true school dj cats should have in their collection as well as others)..My influences range from the pioneers like Flash, Herc, Bambaataa, Rock Steady Crew, Busy Bee, Grandwizard Theodore,Grandmixer DST, Cold Crush Brothers, Fantastic Five, Funky4+1, Furious 5 Threacherous 3, RUN-DMC, etc..Red Alert, Chuck Chillout, Shep Pettibone, Larry Levan, Tony Humphries, Gamble and Huff, Leroy Hutson, Leon Ware, Norman(The Motherf-n Machine) Harris, Leroy Burguess, Patrick Adams, Mantronix, Mr Magic, Marley Marl, Red Alert,Kid Capri, X-ecutioners, Awesome 2, World Famous Supreme Team,(hence one of my many names...WORD) to name a few...I seriously started collecting records in my 20's..even though I had a slew of 45's/LP's from my older brother's collection..alot of them got lost on our move to NC (misty-eyed moment)..But when I actually started spinning..it was on..there are still ALOT of gaps to be filled..Since I last counted i got a cool 1500+ records if not more..But I had cats; like one of my PNC's Gene Brown look very impressed with what I had..I guess quantity is not the issue sometimes it's the quality of what you have that matters..I'm can say that I'm one of a few djs that "STILL ROCK VINYL STRICTLY!!!"..Serato and CDJs are cool..but I love to actually see the actual label spin (call it an obsession-watever there's nothing like it-lol)I'm a vinyl nerd first..dj second..dig?I've been labeled as the Best Kept Secret in Charlotte.. I rarely spin(I collect more than I spin)..I kinda like it like that.. Me and my partner Enlil formed the FreshCatz Crew..and starting to create a buzz in the city..There's also have alot of projects in the works..stay tuned..DustyvibePEACE!!!!
