About Me

I am 15 years old in DJ years and like melodic, song-oriented stuff, different eras and tempos. I'm always on the lookout for new songs which have a classic sound and older ones with timeless appeal.

My weekly music celebration is "Solid!" held at Williamsburg's popular Metropolitan bar. Thursday night patrons get a unique mood mix of '60s girl groups, reggae remakes, new-wave technofunk and forgotten club gems-many are my own re-edits. I'm happy to say that my fellow New York spinners Danny Krivit, Nicky Siano, Gant Johnson and Automagic's DJ Will can be heard playing them as well.


As a musician, I play bass, piano and keyboard-like instruments with singer/songwriter Scott Matthew. We had an extensive tour of western Europe last year and will be returning in July as the support act for Antony & The Johnsons at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Pianist and multi-media artist Marisol Limon Martinez and I have begun a new music project called The Reading which can be accessed on this page.

Birthday DJ set 11/15/2007

I haven't done this at Metropolitan before, but I was a diligent little geek the other night and made a list of everything I played from 10pm-4am. If anyone's ever wondered what my sets consist of the...
