Sounds Like
If acid house took Kano in the backroom, beat up the two Italians, took the black guy, hopped a plane to minneapolis, kidnapped Prince, made those two do it until a baby popped out, then slapped the baby in the ass with a 303(TB, not groovebox!!!!), then sampled the baby crying. That would pretty much approximate my deejay style.
Sleazy McQueen was keen on electronic music even in his early days in the deep south. The Central North Carolina disco was sparse, to say the least, but with the help of a friendly farm combine, a chicken, and five hundred pounds of recyclable Pabst cans, he began creating sounds far more complex than anything the townspeople had heard before.
While honing his worthless production skills, he was soon involved in a scheme to lose great quantities of cashola. It was simple, really; each month, he and his Evil Twin Maxula would hire world-renowned deejays willing to play for bargain prices and two-bit haybed accommodations to play for the two of them and one or two other townsfolk, and each month the pair would lose a few hundred more dollars. Eventually, McQueens billfold was empty. Persistent nonetheless, McQueen spent the next two years relentlessly pursuing other sure-fire schemes to lose money, culminating in an all-out relocation to New York City.
As we all know, the New York Sound doesnt have much to do with chickens, so McQueen took it upon himself to learn the intricate ways of the synthesizer, common household spring apparati and kitchen utensils. While drunk one night with a Japanese-Hispanic-Italo-American and his aforementioned twin Maxula (who had, as of late, been consumed in the throes of a quarter-life crisis), McQueen gained complimentary access to a mega-club in the Citys notorious Chelsea neighborhood to attend a DJ performance by Mark Farina. After the customary rope-side congratulations, McQueen entered the club just in time to hear Farina playing a song he himself had created. It was at this point that McQueen realized his sound was, indeed, streetworthy. Following in the footsteps of other great Brooklyners, McQueen continues to provide an outlet for his culturally-confused funked-up house sound. Blazing along the time-space continuum, McQueen can see a future that is bright and promising. In April of 2007, McQueen relocated to central Florida to assume a position for the renowned Eighth Dimension/EIGHT-TRACKS music group as Head Office Lacky. This promises to be a long chapter for McQueen...
His record bag has found occasion to travel to Bogota, Tokyo, Florence, and London, and has allowed him several tours of those United States. His computer and keyboards have signed releases on numerous foreign and domestic labels, including, but not limited to; Bearfunk, Headtunes Music, Bananza Recordings, Eight-Tracks/Eighth Dimension, House Arrest, Morris Audio & Chillin Music. He also heads up the Brooklyn based band, Tres Gueros, a supergroup of sorts with releases on a number of fine labels
