Intent on defending the blend, Concerned navigates the waters where Funk, Soul, Reggae, Latin, Afro-beat and Hip Hop intersect. He is a fan-favorite and a darling of the social scene. His versatility makes him the rare DJ recruited by live bands of all genres. Concerned is trusted to set the vibe for any audience, customized to the style of the particular band. Clubs around New York City demand residencies of him. In addition to his current "Soul Searching" series with London’s DJ Reverend Soul, DJ Concerned conducts the turntables for "Early Future"—a weekly event with hip-hop band The Real Live Show-at Nublu--bringing the studio to the stage.
In 2006 he released his first commercially available mix CD Talkin' Loud But Sayin’ Something! which Turntable Lab determined to be among the Top 20 CDs of 2006. Concerned has been a guest alongside DJ Rekha at the famous “Basement Bhangra” in NYC as well as “Non-Stop Bhangra” in San Francisco with DJ Jimmy Love. He has made repeat appearances in San Francisco at the “Afrolicious” series featuring DJ Senor Oz & Pleasuremaker. Over the years, DJ Concerned has opened for The Pimps of Joytime, The Hot 8 Brass Band, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Akoya Afrobeat Ensemble, Meta & The Cornerstones and Yah Supreme & Brohemian. His radio appearances include WBAI’s Underground Railroad (NYC), WWOZ (New Orleans) and the Soulatomic Show on Radiojohnson.net. Beyond spinning for the people’s delight in New York and San Francisco, DJ Concerned has also played in New Orleans, Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg.

Yo Sean how you doing mate? check this out: Brand new release from Resense We will rock you 12" AfroFunk/Jazz Vers.
The first six releases of Resense are completely sold out – just a few left in some stores around the world. Time for the next two releases: the 007 comes along with a smasher, you will never have expected. ‚We Will Rock You.. on Power Bossa !!! ‚You Can..t Hide.. on the other side, is not so obvious, but also a brillant track on the Resense series. Be quick, this one will run out very fast…
