What do you look for in a beat?

If you see me get really excited, you know that beat just hit me.

Please tell us about yourself.

Music wise, I fell in love with Techno around '91 when I attended my first party in downtown Detroit, it was Panic with Underground Resistance performing live. Since than I was hooked, that driving sound just kept a permanent smile on my face. I got my first set of 1200's about a year later and that touch of vinyl, blending tracks together to play the sounds I loved so much just drove me more. I was always into the electronic sounds of Depeche Mode, New Order, Kraftwerk, etc, also industrial music, but when I found techno, especially Detroit Techno, that hard drive was just what I needed.

As far as a DJ, I moved to Naples, Florida about 14 years ago and ran into a guy named Ray who gave me my first shot a playing a club/bar here locally and soon enough after that he was kind enough to have me open for him. The next thing I know I was playing more places locally and than the west coast of Florida.

I got to meet so many big names, talented DJ's and music lovers like yourselves and will never forget it. I am no longer playing clubs, but the heart is still there for the music and the people who enjoy and appreciate that sound that drives us.

Oh yea, and when you're not playing, listening, or dancing to music. What else do you enjoy doing?
