i grew up in Irvington N.J.(21th st),so i listen to some of best dj's such as Ted Currier on wbls,Jellybean Benitez on wktu,Shep Pettibone on kiss.fm,Timmy Regisford on wbls & @the shelter,Tony Humphries on kiss.fm & @ Zanzabar(tony was the best live dj i ever heard),Merlin Bobb on wbls,Larry Lavan@the garage,Naeem johnson on wbls & @the docks,Darryl James on wbls & kiss.fm.i like to think you can hear some of all these great legend's in my music.i been playing since 1976, ted currier was on WBLS"s
12:00 am til 1:00 dance party mixing 2 records at the same time,it was something i had to do.i started with 1 turntable(no pitch)& 7 records(that i won on wbls.fm) an a mixer that ran on batteries. i alway's was the type to figure out how thing's work,so i hooked the turntable up to a radio.i just waited til the radio played 1 of the 7 records i had and i would mix them together.once i got another turntable it was on from there.my 1st real spot other than house party's was@ the Pink Pub on Springfld. Avenue in Irvington N.J.1979 with my man "Dj Sam"he gave me 15 minutes to do my thing,DjSam& the people was feeling me i was only 16 an had sunday's nights@Pink Pub.i started making 8tracks tape of me mixing(yes 8tracks lol)then i started making cassette tape for famliy & friends,from there my father & i became the resident dj for GM MOTOR in linden n.j. we played in clubs from new york to north carolina to the midwest.my 1st cd" RECOGNIZE" (2001)was boot legged from new york to as far as california. wonder how i know this?when ford motor co. transfered me from nj to kansas city a female@work asked me where do i go party at in kansas city,i told her i dont go out cause i like house music an there are no house club down here. i told her i was a dj an i just play for myself right now,the next day she came to work with some of her cd's.we was listening while we worked,so she put in 1 cd and it was nice i told her if you like this cd you will love what i do,halfway i realized it was my 1st cd "RECOGNIZE"all the way down here in kansas city mo.a friend of her picked up a bootleg copy of my cd from downtown NEWARK N.J. what a feeling that was for me. 6,000 people work in the plant and i meet the 1 with my cd WOW.that was 2002 i been with her ever since.this is what i love doing making music,my podcast isn't a set or a mix it's a show a production.a lot of today's dj's focus on the new music or tracks,for me it's alway's been the mix that I focus on,if you pay close attention you'll hear a lot of my work is loops so i can ride the mix longer(i also love sound effects) so if you enjoy this tell a friend to come & experience the experience.look for me doing guest spots on buttersoulcafe.com & othere websites. please leave a comment,your comments & donations help's me do what i do.i'll be posting a new mix soon...P.S. stay tuned!!!!
