I am here for Friends

About Me


stamp out the wack! throw yourself into what you love. we're not here for very long. i am aka "groovinkim". perpetually musicobsessed, particularly electronic. i work full time and go to school full time. my nonprofit projects: nwtekno.org, hyperreal's nw-raves, nw-promoters mailing list, dancesafe, seattle techno infoline, & coming soon: seattletechno.com.
i am a trainwrecking bedroom dj & wannabe producer. i periodically write for various magazines. in the past i've been published in xlr8r, urb, tablet, lotus, etc. i occasionally facilitate gatherings and/or help others with theirs.
recent travel: chicago, barcelona (sonar festival is amazing), paris, amsterdam, koln, berlin, montreal (mutek), detroit (demf). next hope-to-visit place: japan.
despite my abundance of projects, i am in no way organized or practical. more like a chaos-sphere that rolls down the hill picking up things as it goes along until it becomes like pee-wee herman's rubber band balls ;) if you are ever bored and need a project, i have 500,000 spare!
please don't add me as a friend unless i actually know you. that includes bands.
i enjoy photographing street art and run a little photography group for people who take pictures of street art around seattle. you can view it by clicking the image below.
