A true Aquariun with eclectic tastes in friends, music, and how to experience life! I'm a proud parent to my little girl Marley, husband to my lovely wife Dawn, and a good friend to many. I live my life in a fashion unique in its own way, as do many of my friends. I try to listen to music every day of my life, as it is what really keeps me in tune with who i really am. My family is what i am proud of most, and i hold them closest to my heart. I go to great lengths to stay true to my friends, and i give respect to those who do the same. I am a House Music Dj, and have been playing for about 16 years now, in places all over the US. I've been writing for the music industry for about 7 years now, for a mulitude of labels, periodicals, and web magazine sources. I've recently taken on the title of Producer, and have a couple trax that are finished, some that have been signed to labels, and some that are in the works to do the same.
I work hard, I stay focused, I get things done.
“House is a Feeling! And when you feel it, you will understand…that House Music…it can do things that will set your body free!’ – Aaron Carl.
Ever since Dj Dennis heard his first House beat in San Francisco in 1992, he has done as much as he could to pass on the message of the music. Whether it be through promotion, events, Deejaying, or producing, Dj Dennis has done all he can to bring House Music to other people, pouring out his heart out to those who want to hear his soul driven beats and dance to their hearts desire.
His career started in California’s capitol, Sacramento, where he teamed up with some local DJs and production crews to gain exposure and experience within the growing music scene. With these different production crews he gained multiple levels of experience in throwing events, working in clubs, consulting others on events and promotion, bookings for other DJs and sound companies, and working with different levels of the professional business community for city agencies to provide them with fun, exciting, and new music.
Throughout this period, he soon became a favored DJ to many with his way of delivering the message of True House with vocal selections that hit true to the heart, funky beats that made everyone’s asses shake, mixing skills that were smooth and creative, and a positive and energetic attitude towards his crowds and friends.
With the popular growth of House Music throughout the U.S. in the mid 90’s, he decided to branch out and get involved in other ways in the industry. Dennis started writing reviews of records and CD’s that he was playing at his club and rave gigs, and was gaining popularity with some press. He joined up with a web magazine in 1998 called The Selekta (www.selekta.com) and soon became the editor for the magazine, and remained editor and House reviewer for 4 years.
Over the years, he has also taken on multiple promotional projects for other entities in the industry, such as Khaimar Music (www.Khaimar.com), Wallshaker Records (www.wallshaker.com), Dae Recordings, Om Records, Giant Step, and now, Selekta Recordings.
In 2003, Dennis left the West Coast and moved 3000 miles away to the East Coast; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania would now be the place he called home.
The East Coast has been a great step for Dennis. Not only has he stepped up and jumped right into the local scene, DJing and being part of different club nights and events with other local promoters and club owners. He has also performed some duties for some local labels that are makeing waves in the electronic music industry.
From Cali to Philly, Dennis has stayed true to his roots. When you hear one of his productions or if you hear him DJ, you’ll hear some of the deepest, funkiest, fun filled House Music!

My Interests

ANYTHING CREATIVE ...whether its music, art, science...but time spent with friends and family is always the best! I like playing video games with my kid, solving puzzles and seeing what we do in order to WIN TOGETHER! I like gadgets...electronics are my crack...and i'm a VINYL WHORE...i love to collect and play vinyl, always trying to find the most obscure thing to play over my other records or sample to put in a production. oh yes, and watching my wife dance! That is definitely a favorite interest of mine! haha...

I'd like to meet:

Other parents, djs, producers, singers, musicians, and bascially people with open minds, love for music that makes you move, and attitudes that are welcoming and REAL...People who incorperate their love for music in their daily lives and share it with others...

Music:

TRUE HOUSE MUSIC WITH A MESSAGE...some groovy downbeat, trip hop, acid jazz with a little spoken word and poetry over the top...sprinkle some live sax or flute...mix it all up and you got yourself some FLAVA!

Movies:

SUPERBAD!
