My Interests

squeezing in my bio here...

DJ PONE: In his 15 years of DJing, DJ Pone has found himself spinning on the Wake Up Show, performing in front of tens of thousands while on the 2005 Vans Warped Tour, and battling at the DMC US finals. DJ Pone has expanded his efforts far beyond the DJ realm, scratching on tracks and touring with punk supergroup the Transplants, producing remixes for groups like Public Enemy, co-hosting a radio show with the legendary Billy Jam on radio station KALX, and teaching a new generation of DJs at the Norcal DJ & Music Production Academy - but he still finds time to spin with his original DJ crew, Canned Beats.

also grab the Give 'Em The Boot Volume 4 compilation to hear my scratch remix of "Romper Stomper" as well as other punk and ska songs from Lars Fredricksen, Rancid, Joe Strummer, and more. i'm not sure if punker kids are feeling it yet, but have an open mind, you fools.

I have the jitters. I have an office job for the time being. And they have an espresso machine! I've used it about 3 times a day for two weeks now. Jitterbug! -dj pone
