I love to mix, either with decks or PC, or both. But I'm currently not 'playing out' due mainly to a temporary lack of confidence and also to the lack of hustle on my part! However, I post my mixes on the web, so feel free to check me out via the ReverbNation link or by joining my mailing list below! I also love reading and movies, having a drink, chilling in coffee shops and playing poker, both face to face and sometimes on-line...
I'm not bothered about meeting famous people, but rather, people who have created something beautiful with value, from the heart! Cool people who like to laugh, have soul and are sensitive and creative! So that narrows it down a bit :-)
