I had the excellent fortune to be around when the Illbient scene was thriving in NYC, and was strongly influenced by talents like DJ Olive. Illbient had a deep darkside vibe that has always been my favorite flavor. Used to play mostly chillout (and would still love to lick up some chillout rooms...if they existed anymore...sigh), but now that I have a laptop, and the time/effort spent beatmatching is freed up, I can finally go wild the way I've always wanted, and am working out my dancefloor chops. Goddamn, rocking a dancefloor to hard techno is an unmatched thrill!! And when I'm not playing, be sure you can see me out there on the floor, swimming in the sound, elbows up, fists pumping, screaming and whooping. Giving the DJ some love!!
Spinning since 1995; 650 sets to date.
