About Me


Lets see... stuff about me..... are you sure you wanna know? Honestly, there really isn't a whole lot to say. I'm your typical high-strung, always on the go, very stressed out, kinda girl. I've been living back here in TN for almost 2 years now and it feels like eternity!!! My life nowadays revolves strictly around work, work, work, plus all the club promotions that I do. The music scene is all that I've known for almost 8 years now. Luckily, I am no longer working out of Knoxville, and have moved up to bigger and better opportunities in Nashville. Regardless of the whole "He said, she said" bullshit talk that seems to continuously go on here, I still have mad love for everyone here in Knoxville that is attempting to try and keep the scene alive. It needs all the help it can get. On a different note, I am also working 3 other jobs on top of doing my promotional stuff, (2 in retail, and 1 in HR). I guess you can say that I'm a bit of a workaholic.
But other than all that, my life is pretty much all around boring (That is if you can look past the drama filled atmosphere that I seem to always find myself around) But thats a completely different story.

Johnny Fiasco -Om Records (Chicago)
Chicago-born Juan Lopez grew up in the predominately Hispanic Pilsen neighborhood where he was influenced by music at an early age. Soon after his high school years, he traded playing guitar in rock and funk bands for home studio technology that allowed him the freedom to produce his own music without the confines and frustrations that playing in a band presented. Around this time Johnny began his career as a DJ at some of the first underground "house" parties in Chicago, and in '88 he landed a residency at Smart Bar with Mark Farina. Three years later he turned a potentially devastating incident into a source of motivation to focus on his career as a producer and began to record for Moonshine, Radikal Fear and the world-renowned Cajual Records. He has produced a number of Billboard hits, remixed the likes of Justin Timberlake, Gloria Estefan, KD Lang and Donna Blakely ( just to name a few), and has released records on just about every house label worth listening to. His outstanding musical accomplishments have attracted worldwide attention to this humble artist, and his ongoing musical endeavors continue to play a major role in defining the past, present and future of house music.
REID SPEED Breakbeat Science, Direct Drive, Shure (Los Angeles)
Reid has been fuckin’ shit up since ’96. Bursting onto the scene, she quickly turned heads with her tight skills in the highly competitive New York underground. Reid went on to work for highly respected Breakbeat Science, the US's first exclusively drum & bass store. Not satisfied with simply Djing, Reid has also produced alongside artists Ming & FS, as well as Datcyde, churning out such hit tunes as the NYC jungle anthem "Naughty Ride". After putting out over a dozen mixtapes, Reid released her critically acclaimed ‘Resonance’ mix on Breakbeat Science in 2001. Then in the summer of 2003, Breakbeat Science came calling for their second mix, a stormer entitled "Life After Dark". Now based in Los Angeles, Reid has shown no signs of letting up, being personally chosen by Jamie Kennedy to spin her own blend of Drum & Bass on his show, the Jamie Kennedy Experiment. Last year saw her join DJ Rap and Colette for the ‘Beauty & The Beats’ competition and tour. Whether she’s busy modeling for Triple 5 Soul, or spinning alongside top talent across the globe, Reid Speed always comes correct.

My Interests

Anything that has to do with the dance/music scene. If a club plays any kind of techno music you will most likely find me there. I can't stand these preppy college clubs that play nothing but rap and R&B crap. And trust me, no one wants to hear my opinion on them either. All I know is, they can give a person an instant migraine.
DID I EVER MENTION THAT DANCING IS A WAY OF LIFE?? :o)

I'd like to meet:



Honestly, I would like to meet someone that can put up with me and be able to handle my - "always on the go" - extremely hectic, and crazy life. I'd like to meet someone who shares the same passion, dedication, and overall respect for the dance & music scene, which has been a huge contributing factor to who I am today. I'm also a very "independent" type of person, and I like having control of what's going on in my life. I always make sure that I have plenty of options and choices to choose from in everything that I do. Unfortunatly, at this time, there hasn't been anyone to succeed at taking on the challenge of "Me Being Me" :op What can I say, I'm a handful - sometimes....

Music:


Of course I like anything that has a good beat to it. My preference though is the "crazy people music" such as the house/breakbeat/ techno world. Trance falls in there as well, somewhere. :o) Some of my favorite djs/artists, *besides the local talent here in K-Town that we all know and love!* are Concord Dawn, Diana Fox, Sound Republic, Karl Almaria, DJ Heather, Fred Everything, Alter Ego, Dopamine, DJ Icey, Infiniti, Evil Nine, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk, Adam Freeland, Sander Kleinenberg, AK1200, Rabbit in the Moon, Miss Kitten, The Prodigy, Plump DJs, Deep Dish, Freestylers, Hybrid, Dara, Andy C, Mylo, Aquasky, Dave London, The Killers, The Stanton Warriors, Gridlock, Hive, and 4 Strings. Plus MANY MANY MORE!! I very rarely listen to anything else but this. I'm not much of a Rap or R&B fan, and you definitely won't catch me listening to country..... *BLAH!*
