So be on the Look out for this one SOON!You have found my little slice of Myspace! I am Dj Coral, a DJ (obviously) and also Musician. I became enthralled and almost totally engulfed in the emergence of Hip Hop in the mid 80's. Already having a musical background from playing violin and saxophone along with my new love for the rising popularity of Hip Hop, Dj'ing just came natural.
In 1985 me and a good friend Steve (Stevie G) Garcia formed "Back to Back" a rap group where he emceed and I Djed then under the name "Smooth Bee". WE made songs and performed in talent shows at our High School.
Soon after I also met and befriended Kenny K (Digital Underground). An Influential Dj who did a live Hip Hop Radio show on Tampa's Community Radio Station.
For about a year and a half I became a "regular" at the station during the show. This was a very influential time in my life musically any ways as I met a lot of people of who I later would greatly respect as some of their contributions would later changed the face of rap music overall.
THE BASS INVASION
I am from FLORIDA and as we all know this is the HOME OF THE BASS and when the Miami Bass sound started gaining popularity I loved it..so fresh sounding, and something that we in Florida could call "ours". I always loved the way Florida Dj's would scratch , still do! I struggled for a while to identify who/what I was Hip Hop/or Miami Bass. But eventually it didn't matter as I was "labeled" Miami Bass.
In 1990 I met this guy named Joe (CJ SLIM,MC CRACKER JACK)Mcdade. We quickly became great friends and Formed the Dirty Hardcore Bass Rap group 2 of a Kind later to be renamed POOR WHITE TRASH. We would pump out slowed down mix tapes I made on a 4 track and take the money from that to buy equipment, records,help to pay rent ect, ect! WE recorded a large amount of original music, Cracker Jack introduced me to MC ROCKET (Party Boyz) and worked on a few tracks in the Underwood studios with DJ Trans. Although we made awesome music me and Cracker Jack were heading in two different directions in our lives and good things came to and end.
After all that and some other stuff I bounced around musically becoming a music whore, I was into all kind of stuff for awhile I was in a Hardcore band as a dj ,The Dregs of Humanity. I worked with my roommate a very talented gutarist Todd Short programing drum beats on a 808 for his instrumental tracks. I made a some Techno music for awhile and I also turned my bedroom into a little 8 track studio and was recording my own Rap songs on the side, just for fun.
ENTER DJ CORAL
A new era a new name
Yeah I changed my name around 1997 . Since then I have had more than a few different music setups, I got married, lived overseas and have had some pretty interesting life experiences, to say the least!!
Nowadays It's really hard to classify my music it goes between Bass, Breakz, Electro, Hip Hop and just straight up Electronic.
I try not to classify anything to be honest with you, preferring to just see what kind of groove is coming out more or less.
Although I can make music directly aimed at a market, I haven't truly discovered what "market" I am! On the tables lately I mix a combination of ELectro (I love some of the electro coming out these days)Breakz, Bass and Old School Hip Hop. Lets just say, I know what it takes to make people dance!
Yo, I have so many that it's hard to just list influences so I more than likely missed alot.
These are some that are coming to mind at the moment, and if I may add in no specific order!
Kraftwerk, Dynamix ii, DJ Magic Mike, Mantronix, Krs-One, Dj Premier (Gang Star) ,Original Concept, Mc Ade, Dj Trans, Rakim,
Digital Underground (Kenny K, Shock G),Hashim, Bambata, Egyptian Lover, Bass 305, Dj Laz, Stetsasonic, Public Enemy
Alkaholics (King Tee, J-ro), Schooly D, Just ICE, Maggotron, DJ Fury, Byron Davis, Rodney O,T-la Rock, Jazzy Jay, Dj Red Alert
Latin Rascals. ANd if you havent figured it out by now, I am an old school bastard!
I am kinda mellow, but do at times crave excitement! I dont have many but my True friends I hold close.
I rarely Drink, I do smoke, I love Soda Pop (Mountain Dew specifically). I enjoy Open Minded non Judjemental people. I dislike
Racists and anyone who thinks they are superior to another person for any reason. We all have Faults. If someone goes out of their way to help
me, I NEVER WILL FORGET IT. If at home I sleep BUTT ASS NAKED. I have 2 cats lil'faye and One Love. I love animals ( I call them Critters)
There is nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree. I believe in KARMA. I am a totally different person than I was even 10 years ago.
I dont care how old I am in the game, I will continue to rock. I hold special love for fans of my music in Europe. I took one of those sex tests on myspace
It classified me as a "super freak". I think that most Americans are "uptight", "work to Much" and "waste to much". I like Fish!
I have alot of interests, some of are more than just interests. I will only list a few here!
GRAPHIC AND WEB DESIGN (I've built literally 1000's of web sites)One example would be this page here. I also provide web hosting from my co-located web server I dubbed "lectrohost".(lectrohost.com).
SCUBA DIVING- to me it's "relaxing heavenly bliss" if youv'e never experienced it, you gotta do it!
PAINTBALL- I have played some prety serious paintball in my time, I preffer Scenario Ball. In the game my callsign is Agent X.
CS 1.6 LEVEL DESIGN- Just for fun I design levels for the video game Counter Strike. If you play online and the mapname has an AX_ in front of it, that's my map! Most popular are AX_shootout2 and AX_whiteroom, both deathmatch! I also see AX_karma is starting to pick up a following lately!
