About me:

............................................................................................................................................................ Born & Raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan; New York's nightlife was right outside the front door. It was common place for myself and other neighborhood djs to setup in the park and play music well into the summer nights. New magazines like Discothekin' & IDRC's Spin along with writers like Vince Aletti, Brian Chin & Larry Flick were shining the spot light on DJs & Discos near and far and I wanted to see and hear them all... ............................................................................................................................................................
