About me:

This LA native / Dj / Producer / Musicologist has been one of the most trusted taste makers and main architects of the Los Angeles Sound for nearly three decades while constantly raising the bar in performance and showmanship. His style often described as "refreshing and energetic" has earned the self made, charismatic, music aficionado a loyal following and a reputation as (once quoted by SOULBOUNCE.COM and numerous music lovers) "the most imitated, never duplicated". He is affectionetly known in the elite of music circles as the "walking encyclopedia" , his love and passion for music as a DJ was first established in the mid 70's. At the age of 5, he would play at various socials and family gatherings. He would comb through the very large record collections of his parents and siblings with titles bearing the names of artists such as Wilson Pickett, Stevie Wonder, Sylvester, Kool and The Gang, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, James Brown, Sly and The Family Stone,The Meters, B52's, Kraftwerk,etc A-Ski has collaborated with the likes of Sly Stone , Babystone, James Gadson, Wah Wah Watson, Edwin Birdsong, Jim Gilstrap, Nikka Costa, Marc Ford (The Black Crowes), Seal, Pete Rock, Dj Spinna, Vikter Duplaix, J Rawls, Dj Dusk, Dj Rhettmatic, Ralph M, Dj Joe Cooley, Kon and Amir, Dj Center, Mark Luv, Mona Lisa, Qool Marv, PPP, Scott K, Rich Medina, Maya Azucena, Little Brother, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Joe Sumner (Son of STING), Andy Vargas (SANTANA), PPP, The Breakestra, The Rebirth, etc . His sound has also contributed to the branding of companies such as Nike, Puma, Adidas, Estee Lauder, Red Carpet Boutique, Sport Illustrated, Ralph Lauren, Scion/Toyota, HBO, True Religion Jeans, just to name a few. He's also played various venues/residencies such as The W Hotel (where he was weekend resident), The Room (where he held court for 5 years with the legendary Thursday nite party "Love Is The Message"), The Standard, The Roosevelt Hotel, Little Temple, Temple Bar, King King, Zanzibar, House of Blues (Foundation Room/Main Floor), Tillmans, SOB, Sin Sin, Tripple Crown,etc. In the mid 90's A-Ski worked for various record labels such as Geffen, Virgin/EMI and Interscope. During that period, his seasoned ear helped break the legendary sounds of D'angelo, Dr Dre, Nikka Costa, Mary J Blige, The Roots ,Daft Punk, Les Nubians, Scritti Politti, Beenie Man, Erick Sermon, Zap Mama, NERD, Gang Starr, Jurassic 5, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Kelis,etc. Around that period he also got his taste of the radio industry as an intern at KCRW (working under the direction of Gary Calimar, Tom Schnabel and Jason Georges) while trying to follow in the footsteps of his hero The Legendary Frankie Crocker. His first taste on the radio was made a reality due to one of his mixtapes circulating throughout his senior year in high school during the early 90's. This very tape caught the ear of Mixmaster Dj Tee who at the time was a "Mixmaster" on the Legendary LA radio station 1580 KDAY AM and that same tape was eventually aired saturday night on the "Mixmaster Show". In that same year, while "digging in the crates" and mastering the "pause button" technique; he eventually met his hero who not only shared some secret production tips but also encouraged A-Ski to persue his goal as a Dj/Producer. That man was the "Juice Crew" leader himself, Marley Marl. In the area of radio production, A-Ski produced two radio shows on the NYC based Wheat Bread Radio (the nightime Soul themed "SUTRA" and his Thursday morning mix show "Unique 74 Sessions") and previously served as Creative Director/Producer/Host of "Walk Talkin' Radio" for SCION/Broadband (2006-2008). Currently, he is the host/producer/dj for the Unique 74 podcast (based off his label imprint) which has gained a very receptive and growing audience in the U.S, Europe plus additional new markets. He also throws a weekly Thursday Nite party in LA called "STEREOLOVE" which bears the Unique 74 sound and its soulful attributes. ===================================================== Photobucket ====================================================== Photobucket Photobucket

Painters of the bigger picture, no fillers, humble servants, those who distance themselves from mediocre, the silent majority, the bold & beautiful, people who know how to DANCE.. "Quincy", Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff , Thom Bell, Paul Mcartney, Thomas Chatterton Williams, David Ritz, Rupert Murdoch

    Status quo by poet lenburke © 2009


    Reinforce what is true the purpose is to renew

    many perspectives in which dreams are met

    oh how the troubles have suddenly beset

    the hope promise and faith of a new tomorrow

    cannot proceed with all of the sorrow

    so with responsibility guidance strength and resolve

    its love and peace that brings a new way to solve

    start with yourself don't wait another second

    remember when you were young and seemed to break all the records

    like taking a breath in which we all take for granted

    its like when you were young with your feet firmly planted

    triumphant as we want to be

    your mission has really just begun to the amazement all of possibilities

    that you my reader holds the virtual key

    a magic so real it can change destiny

    for a smile so simple yet elusive is the magic I speak of

    it reigns true in all languages bestowed from the heavens up above

    I consider myself the lucky one to have you as a reader of my verse

    I hope with all my heart that this world seek peace

    without time to reverse

    thanks for reading my poem. XOXO

    LOVE by lenburke © 2009



    Equations that shape a world without mistakes is this a delusion or the answer


    So many life's at stake or so do we take for the solution is within time going faster


    Unravel time's mystery uncover all of history you seek a problem that cannot be solved


    It's up to you and me to create a possibility for the illusion will never just dissolve


    We live in a certain reality but all share in a surreal parody the life in which we take for granted


    I see some similarity for you time brings about the clarity that we win just when we thought we had it


    Philosophical dreams emitting a magnitude of scheme's submitting forgone are my innocence for now I am born


    Are we done or are we quitting it not that im committing for being a winner is not one to often scorn


    Alone is what i have become while watching the sunrise run its as though I have lived for just a second


    Searching for someone but never loosing till im done I seek something that which is never respected-------L O V E XOXO
