DJing (vinyl and ableton), laughing, making meaningful connections w/ people, basically, just having a lot of fun! Oh, and I like shiny things.
Music
Although tragically unhip for the club scene, I dig it: I love that hard to reach crux where Breaks, Progressive, and House all melt together. But Breaks are the BEST: Freeland, NuBreed, Evil Nine, Hybrid, also love G&D, Sasha, Zabiela, Kazell, etc. etc. etc. etc.
But aside: Love everything. Indie Rock (The Arcade Fire, check'em, Louis XIV, Tegan and Sarah), Jazz (the old swingin' stuff a la Count Basie and Ella), Minimalist Classical (Phillip Glass & Steve Reich), Pop Punk and the like (NERF HERDER WE MISS YOU!), Barenaked Ladies, Ani Difranco, Alanis Morrisette (her old stuff of course), Dido, Coldplay, just anything that doesn't suck. Like anything on the radio.
Listen to KCRW.com and Indie 103.1. You'll get it.
Movies
War of the Worlds, even though Tom Cruise usually makes my eyes bleed. Old Favs: American Beauty, Eulogy (Netflix it.) Kill Bill 1 and 2, Eternal Sunshine, Adaptation, Usual Suspects, Harold and Kumar Go To Whitecastle.
Television
I really only watch downloaded episodes of Chappelle's Show (Hwwwhutt?) South Park, Simpsons, Lost, West Wing, Futurama, and Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.

I'm a Los-Angeles based DJ playing the finest and freshed progressive, house, and breaks for your listening pleasure. My newest obsession is destroying tracks through Ableton Live, my M-Audio FireWire 410, and the most kickass mixer I can get my hands on.
You have seen me at Giant, Spundae, Circus, EM Sundays, Crane's Tavern, and E3rd Steakhouse and Lounge. Make sure to keep an eye out for even more action.
I've also been working on a VERY COOL project with my partner JC...Color of Night!
I'm also a proud, card-carrying member of the TRINITY DJs.
So basically. Yes. I. LOVE. DANCE. MUSIC.
Who I'd like to meet: People with open minds, who are friendly, who are honest, who aren't afraid to geek out from time to time. Please, no drama, life's far too short. Always looking for new friends!!

Just realized LA Decom is the weekend of LoveFest, so won't make it. But my other half and I will be down in late October/early November for some party (deets unknown at this time).
I'm glad you had a wonderful burn, especially since many reviews I heard were quite mixed. Decom, eh? Bring it on, sista. I'm also flirting with the idea of going to LA Decom.
Hope you can make it out this Friday to catch me spin. Not in Los Angeles? Jump on a plane! :-) First 100 heads in the door get free Lost Angeles Recordings CDs! It's going to be a mental night and sure to reach capacity early, so make sure to get there early. RSVP for guest list to getdown at incognitola. com!
