How long have you been involved in the underground scene, and how and when did you get started?
I’ve been involved since I want to say around 2001. I lived in Northern Virginia and was going to any all age events I could at the time. The big one I remember that I still consider my first “rave” was Radiate @ DC Armory. I was heavily influenced by Buzz and Scott Henry, he was a major influence on me wanting to DJ and get involved in the underground scene. Around 2005, I was DJing on vinyl and played events across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area.
How long have you been DJ’ing, and who are a few of your current favorite artists and labels?
I’ve been on / off with DJing over the years. I’d say a grand total of seriously DJing around 6 years. I had a lot of time off when I had young kids, and couldn’t keep up with the pricey equipment, etc. Probably half of that was spent DJing on vinyl and the other half all digital. Some of my favorite labels are Sofa Sound, Critical Music, Trust Audio, Transparent Audio, V Recordings, Rolled Up Records, and Shogun Audio. Some of my favorite artists are Crystal Clear, Minor Forms, Kublai, Ed:it, Dub Head, Business as Usual, Genic, and Molecular.
Tell me about your best gig ever.
So, my favorite gig ever was playing vinyl at ALIAS @ Nation night club (RIP). It was the only time I got to play at the infamous Nation but I’m grateful I was able to, even if it wasn’t at Buzz/Cubik. I grew up with that venue, I was a regular there, and eventually I was a promoter for Cubik. So, it brings a lot of memories and I was honored to be able to play there in any capacity.
Have you played in RVA before? What can people expect to hear from you at the next Electric Jungle?
I have never had the pleasure of playing in Richmond, VA before but I’m very much looking forward to playing a show there. You can expect heavy rollers, tech step, and maybe some jungle. I’d say prepare for the unexpected, I try to improvise as much as possible to keep things fresh and interesting for the crowd.
