I have been a long time vinyl(black crack)club DJ. I broke my 1200's in on Parliment and George Clinton and Sugar Hill Gang.
I love early 80's funk.
Yet Soft Cell ,Grace Jones, Bob Marley, early U2 and The Clash were never far away.
Balanced against the undiscovered and the unfamiliar we can not forget those classic anthems that we've passed along the way.
As a kid I was all Zeppelin, The Stones, Pink floyd, Hendrix and I played a Fender Mustang electric guitar from when I was 8-18. Competing for time on my stereo was Boston, The Cars, Supertramp, Seger, and even Kiss. But In the end, disco crossed me over and funk defined my style.
I have always been a club dj-big clubs(1000-2000). As a resident dj, I played 5 nights from 9-2am. Not 1-2 hour sets like todays style. So I live for long sets. The 80's and 90's were my dance floor. I think I own every 12" from 1976-mid 90's.
My day job always got in the way of taking my music to a bigger stage. But I never stopped djing.
Today, I'm a digital/web music hunter. No more vinyl-cant believe I just said that. I practice and source music 10 hours a week. My weekly mix is done in Ableton Live working with my engineer Jason.
I love to guest DJ and have been in and out of long residency's. I love underground parties. And I love festivals. I go to IBIZA every summer. And define my sound in the desert sands of Burning Man.
I host/present a weekly radio show "Club Tales" on SiriusXM/Area 38 sunday nights and its rerun at various times during the week
Thursday Night Full On
