Most recently I've moved up to Rhode Island to begin a new life. Will I continue to spin you ask...? Maybe, it all depends on if I can find that right place to call home. Ofcourse Tampa will always be home to me, not just because of Club HEDO & the AMPHITHEATER which were my playgrounds for many years, but because of the family & friends that I have there. We shall see though. Currently I'm working as a Night-sort Supervisor for UPS... AHHH YES, WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU?

Bio
Born in Daytona Bch., Fl. many, many years ago, Andy or Luke Gatteri aka DJ RED has lived in Miami, Tampa and Ft. Myers FLORIDA and has traveled the East Coast: RI, Boston, Atlanta, briefly through the NYC just to name a few.
He first started off mixing in a bedroom, which was actually converted into a phat ass DJ Booth!!! You know, a broken down, beat up 2-channel Radio Shack Mixer, 2 Gemini belt driven turn tables (well maybe rubber band driven, with a couple of hamsters) and an old skool Peavey Monitor! All powered by a 3-disc, 2-cassette, Fm/Am stereo from Wal-Mart. If he only had pictures to prove it, sure, you'd probably laugh, but do you expect perfection at the age of fourteen? HELL NO!!! But trust me, it was PIMP. Just ask RED's main man DJ Structure.
-Euclid st. to Ybor-
From the makeshift DJ Booth in that bedroom on Euclid St., to a skating rink on Armenia Ave. (if you've lived in Tampa, you know) to the Night life of Ybor City at 15, sounds like a big jump you say??? Nah, not when youre learning with and from the best, and you get a little extra help from good ol Grand Father Time... uhh I mean Father Time sorry MTB eeeoooyiEyiEyiEyiE. Sure being 15, spin'n at what was once an ICON in the Entertainment District of Tampa, (The Pleasure Dome) was a BIG event, and seemed a bit nerve racking, But c'mon!!! dj red was only fifteen, just barely discovered women a few years back, and Ybor was crawling with 'em. More than ½ the women there hardly wore any clothing too, which made it even more interesting!!!
From there, RED traveled up and back down 7th Ave in Ybor City. Pleasure Dome, Bar Tampa, Club Hedo's Wet Tees contests, Frankies Patio, Empire, Masquerade, 1509, Amphitheater, then back to Club Hedo and Twilight, He also traveled out of Ybor City to Club Joy, Rain Lounge, Pop City, Bahasa Lounge.
Dj RED has also opened up for & has shared stage apperences with numerous artists, including...
Nick Carter, Bubba Sparxxx, BT, Jaime Ferreira, Brooke Hogan, Darude, Daniel Bedingfield, DJ-TRASHY, Debelah Morgan, Destinys Child, Jackie-O, Lucas Prata, LUKE, Mpress, Natural, Nivea, Aaron Carter, O-Town, Roc Project, Ruff Endz, Stacie Orrico, Science, Smiles & SouthStar, Squabble, Tone loc, Tina Novak and Willa Ford.
He also has performed at Pre-Concert shows for Artists/Acts, such as
Christina Aguilera, NSync, Britney Spears, BackStreet Boys and many others.
Through all of this he had his feet planted in radio in Tampa, FL. at 93.3 WFLZ-FM (Formerly known as the Power Pig) and eventually traveled down south to Ft. Myers to kick off a new Radio Station, 105.5 WBTT the BEAT, where he was the Night Show Producer, On Air Talent, and was the MixShow DJ for the weekend overnight shifts (Saturday late nights) nothing but Techno all night. He also held a few guest spots at a handful of clubs: the Lido Café in Downtown Ft. Myers, the Bombay club in Marco Island, and Club Hand in Cape Coral.
