Check out my fam Collective Efforts doin' it up lovely!! This is my home and my homies!!!
Sounds Like
SKY tends to go all over the place but is most comfortable in vibes similar to Ninja Tunes to Z-trip......................................................................................................................................................
So I realized that changing this profile, I lost alot of "me" stuff.........so here are some of the old facts about me from the old profile:
Interests:
Any and all forms of art, music, volunteering, networking and socializing with the world. I love natural thrills like cliff jumping, hiking, skydiving, etc.......
My music interests range from The Cure(all first 26 albums that is!), Radiohead, The Pixies, Glue, Psyche Origami, Collective Efforts, Mr. Dibbs, Anticon, Maker, Sade(she's my angel), People Under The Stairs, Team Sleep, ALL the hiphop albums in the late 80s and early/mid 90s.........there was sumthin' in the water in those days, for some reason all the albums were dope from beginning to end! What happened?! Of course there are many exceptions, but that was an era with weight to it! Classic Jazz and Big Band........gives me flashbacks to my old cartoons and soothes the soul.........and old school Appalachian Blue Grass!
DJ SKY has been translating his musical interests and moods through the turntables since '93, proving to be a strong provider, promoter and representative of the Atlanta hiphop scene. From '94 to '99, he scratched live with 8 piece instrumental/funk/acid-jazz band Sputnik. During his ride with
Sputnik, he joined up with 3 MCs by the name of Mojo99 (now Heavy Mojo), scratching with other
rotating band members from '96 to late 2001. Throughout these years, he has built a
name for his solo career DJing in clubs, shows, radio and studio sessions with
many different artists and groups. SKY can be heard on WRAS 88.5FM's "Hush,
Hush" show every first Wednesday of every month from 8-10PM mixing and
scratching the best in down-tempo, hiphop & trip-hop instrumentals where he's
held residency since '99. SKY released his first solo single entitled, "Depths of My
Soul" in early 2000 on a compilation from Elemental Magazine, "The Track Less
Traveled". And in 2004, he released his second solo single entitled, "SKY vs. MS"
for the 2nd Annual MS Benefit Compilation featuring many of ATL's greatest
underground hiphop acts! This single expresses SKY's message to Multiple
Sclerosis which he was diagnosed with in March of 2002, bluntly informing "MS" that it has quite a
challenge ahead of it to have chosen SKY as it's host mind and body! To read a
bit more about the blessings SKY has recieved from family and friends, check

Hey Dj Sky, In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts.
Thanks DJ Sky it's great to have hard working and kind hearted DJs like yourself in my network! All is well and hope everything is looking just as good on your end! Hope to hear from you often and don't hesistate to drop a in the inbox as often as possible, I know I will! Take care :D
