DJ Open Decks

I am a mad scientist and a music lover. The first album i ever owned was "Communiqué" by Dire Straits. // I started playing guitar at 15, mainly because i wanted to be Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix or - god forbid - Yngwe Malmsteen. I could not possibly fathom why all my teachers were into jazz. At that age only pyrotechnics matter. (unfortunately, for some retards, it lasts beyond that age). // That was before i heard John Coltrane. Before "Blue train", my ears had been closed to any other melodic instrument than guitar. They opened to the sound of JC's , Lee Morgan's and Curtis Fuller's horns. // Then i developed an interest (my sister would say, an obsession) about jazz. I went to college in Paris (France), but realized that all my favorite musicians at the time were active in New York, mostly in that now legendary club called Small's. So i moved to NY in 2000 for 6 months on some loose oceanographic purpose. Went to jazz shows 2 or 3 times a week. LOOOOOOOOOVED it.Went back to Paris for a year, just to be certain that it sucked. Crossed the pond again in 2001 to go for grad school in Gotham (Climate Dynamics). Stayed 5 years, discovered way more music than i thought possible, and awesome people all around.Got into electronica after going to the Burning Man festival in 2004. Discovered in the past 2 years there are many intersections between live and electronic music, and that's what i crave now.That and Tom Waits. and Radiohead. and a few other gifted mofos.I moved to Atlanta, GA, in december 06 and have had a hard time finding good music.I am now obsessed with GROOVE. Anything groovy, funky, that swings, rocks or generally makes your booty move or your foot tap on the floor. Oh, i still listen to classical music, don't get me wrong. But Shostakovich or Debussy are way too old-fashioned to have a myspace account. Screw them. So i'm here to find GROOVE - will you help me do that ?Peace DJ O.D.
