I have a long, serious bio that you can read if you like but who has the time? So here are the Cliff's Notes: I come from a really musical family in Mississippi. I have been DJing since 1996, originally inspired in college by Mark Ronson , Paul Nice , Darshan Jesrani , Mr. Vince and Jamie Hodge . My style is a little bit of everything, from hip-hop to house, bass, reggae, rock-n-roll and classics. I have been in Brooklyn since 1998 and DJing has been my only job since around 2001. I make loads of mixtapes and records and do two online radioshows with my Rub brothers DJ Eleven and Cosmo Baker . I started The Rub in 2002 at Southpaw with Mikey Palms because I was bored with all the bottle service clubs and lounges in Manhattan and I wanted to do a big, no-bullshit dance party in Brooklyn away from the weekend warriors. By most accounts it is the best party in New York , and now I travel all over the world to DJ because despite my best efforts at playing like a weirdo, I'm kind of a big deal.
Three big new releases from T&A and DJ Ayres are available now on iTunes: I Like Make Dance , Kick Out the Jams and The Chedda EP . For digital DJs, get the high quality WAVs or MP3s from Turntable Lab :
