About Me

I edited my profile with a little bit of Strict magic!

What about me? Well, let's start here... I'm a goofball. I laugh really loud, and I laugh a lot. My friends kick ass. (when they don't suck.) My music is my life- period. Morning, noon, or night; if I'm not doing it or talking about it, I'm thinking about it. I'm definitely an optimist. I love hooded sweatshirts, and am still trying to find a way to make it fashionable when worn over a tuxedo. Yes, it's true what they say; I have no gall bladder, and get awful migraine headaches much too often. Music makes me smile/jump/punch/sleep/drink/laugh/hug/cry/love/scream. I'm the proud Papa of a german sheppard-beagle mix pooch named "Sandy," and even though she nibbles on pant legs, wakes me up to go out to pee exactly 30 minutes before my alarm clock goes off every morning, and barks at shovels, I love her to death. (Take a look at her pictures here in my gallery... I mean, come on- who couldn't love that face?) Although I enjoy many different genres, I eat, sleep, and breathe house music. I'm kinda picky about what beer I drink. I celebrate my age once a year over a period of time I properly call a "Birthweek," rather than the traditional 24 hour span. I'll use a small amount of it on a turkey sandwich, but mayonnaise grosses me out to no end. (Don't even get me started on wet paper... ick.) The crackling sound of a vinyl record- especially in the middle of a live mix set- totally gets me off. Someday I'll marry Toni Braxton. (That husband and two kids are the only thing stopping me...) I almost had the chance to propose when I FINALLY got to see her live in concert at Foxwoods Casino on St. Patty's Day of 2006, but the security guards- and Laura- didn't seem too fond of that idea. Also, I get a haircut approximately every 7 days, and I make a mess when I brush my teeth. I drink a lot of water, and hate when socks lose their elasticity. I find that sleep is highly overrated. I mean, hey... If it's worth it, stay up; an extra cup of coffee or kick in the pants will help you along in the morning and you'll be fine! I hate Full House, Boy Meets World, and all reality TV & "competition" TV shows. One of my biggest pet peeves is having a pebble or other small object inside my shoe and/or sock. I also don't have much tolerance for people who eat loudly or spell poorly either. (I've been wrong from time to time, but grammar is definitely my thing.) Coffee and music are my two addictions. Oh- and I love to love. Make love, not war, indeed... but dance together, and we're ALL safe. :) (Yeah, I just made that up. Pretty good, huh? lol) Be good! - Dave ~ DJ Strict
Find me at a wedding, anniversary party, school dance or the like, and you'll find me cheese balling it up at work. That's DJ Dave. But...playing a club, after hours spot, go nuts to my latest mix project in ya car, check me out on the Bove Show, or just find me in the lab, and that's the guy they call Strict. Either way, I do my best to keep the party moving and smashin' dance floors, so I travel with both musical personalities on hand. With that being said...

My Interests

FOOOOOOD!! Davey like the food. Eating it, cooking it, (I make bomb scrambled eggs, and love to cook on the grill all year round,) smelling it, looking at it, throwing it...every aspect! My hobbies include typing the words, "my hobbies include," and also practicing walking by putting on socks and sneakers every single day. I love to shop for records- from the old gems to the new jams- and have been known to spend hours on end in a single record shop, getting my fingers dusty with Bob. I love my Jeep and enjoy working on it or adding new toys to make it oh-so-Rileyliffic. I shop and dine with my little Laura Jean Bean a lot, and we can pretty much be anywhere doing just about anything and have a goofy time doing it. Other than that, my "interests" would be just enjoying life with my friends and family in any way possible. Monday Night Football/WWE Raw gatherings with the crew, parties for no reason but to get everyone together, driving to fun places or with no destination at all with whomever is down for the cause, and decorating my house for all kinds of different holidays. (And by the way, Christmas ROCKS.)

I'd like to meet:

** CATCH ME @ THE ROXY ON SATURDAY, 10/25! **

*** CHECK OUT MORE FLYERS FROM MANY GREAT PARTIES OF THE PAST IN MY PICS GALLERY! ***

Music:

*** LOVE THIS VIDEO!!***

I don't even know where to begin with this one... Let's just say it all started when my aunt Millie gave me a set of bongos when I was 4 years old. Many moons later, I'm a nightclub / mobile DJ who plays everything from Sinatra to Earth Wind & Fire to Missy Elliot when working parties, but rocks mostly dance music, (progressive house, deep house, electro, progressive trance, breaks, tribal, chill out,) while on and off the clock. (My jeep is my FAVORITE "listening chamber.") I grew up a true hip hop head (only the realness; De La, Tribe, Outkast, Craig Mack, Gang Starr, Busta, Pete Rock, Public Enemy, Pharcyde, Diamond D...) since I was 3 feet tall, and then fell in love with house by the time I reached somewhere around 5' 9". :)

I listen to a lot of different stuff, so my CD collection bounces around, but when playing out, you may hear me drop tunes from Stonebridge, Steve Angello, Deep Dish, Gabriel & Dresden, David Guetta, Armin Van Buuren, Dave Aude, Cedric Gervais, Madonna, Kaskade, Robbie Rivera, Oscar G, Armand Van Helden, Erick Morillo, Goldfrapp, Benny Benassi, Eric Prydz, Paolo Mojo, Starkillers, Inner City, Scumfrog, IIO, Shapeshifter, Cicada, Axwell, Bimbo Jones, Seamus Haji, Alex Alicea... and of course love the classics: C&C, Faithless, Black Box, Corona, Robin S... ah, the good ol' jams. :)

Some others you'll find in my "at-home" collection: No Doubt, New Edition, Heavy D, Motown classics, Christina Aguilera, KRS-ONE, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z, and a bunch of others, including of course... Ms. Toni Braxton. (If you read my main "About Me" section, that should be an obvious one.) :)

Feel Free to send over a hello to check out my latest mix cd!

R.I.P.

Well if Mondays didn't already have enough of a down-in-the-dumps vibe as it is, I just found a way to slump even lower into the chair of emotion. I just came from the auction preview at The Palace wh...
