music, has seen him work as an instructor for Technics and other schools (United
DJ's Mixing School), teaching the art of Scratching (old and new school styles),

DJ Freestyle experienced
another side of djing when he took his love of music to the airwaves, hosting
his own deep house radio show in the late 90's.
