.. About Me: Been a DJ since 1993/94 (Eternal - heard of him?? me neither.); mainly Jungle/dnb for most of that time. Spent a few years throwing jungle parties here in DC with some friends (AYA @ Insomnia; dnb room Destination @ DC Tunnel), but I was spending way more money on records than I was making playing out. So I've been concentrating on other stuff lately, taking a nice break from the DC club politricks. I enjoy L's in the staircase, walks on the beach and a little bit of gore. ok maybe alot of gore LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
