About Me

On the DJ side of things, some know me as Chino, but outside of Detroit I've pretty much phased that name out. Thus, Domingo Yu. Musically, I'm all over the map...techno, house, hip hop, dancehall, salsa, oldies...you get the point. I actually don't care for clubs too much, but that's another story for another day.I've been fortunate to have done a bit of traveling and worked with some great folks. I'm living in Oakland now and loving it. But while it's been home for the past five years Taiwan, Alabama, and Detroit are my roots! Although I'm still DJing, my focus as of late has been as a high school social studies teacher, working with students in East Oakland on everything from out of state field trips to getting into college. I'm definitely trying to keep my hands in different projects.My current music affiliation is with Underground Resistance /Red Planet records in Detroit and I try to keep myself busy in both the music and education world.The best place for you to see what's up in my corner of the world is to check out http://www.domingoyu.com . You'll find all kinds of info there, including pics from events, mixes, and lesson plans for educators.
