D:RC came up DJing (mostly drum'nbass) in the mid-90s while attending the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga. As founding member of the local Phungus, Playtheavy and Sleuth Empire crews he found himself at the center of a burgeoning rave scene, collaborating with friends on dance music events in the Athens/Atlanta areas and beyond.

In 2004 he founded Studio:Machina, a graphic design practice geared towards the music industry. Building on his behind the scenes expertise and keen artistic instincts he's become an in-demand contributor on artistic projects in a variety of media. He's toured the US as member of the Smookie Illson bass music trio, serves as creative director for the Chicago-based Illeven:Eleven Recordings label and functions as brand/art director of several nightlife concepts. 

Behind the decks he currently heavily favors the sounds of DNB, but brief forays into breakbeat, house, UK Garage + Bass and dubstep are not uncommon. Get to know.

Rae Sheetz : Reality

Rae Sheetz is a boundary-pushing DJ and emcee known for igniting dance floors and elevating consciousness through sound. As the founder of Realyst Productions, Rae has been a voice for unity and freedom in underground music for decades—seamlessly fusing Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop, Breaks, and House into powerful, genre-defying sets.

Rae has rocked stages alongside iconic artists like Dieselboy, Dara, Phantom 45, Dave Shichman, and Bengal, as well as hip-hop heavyweights Brand Nubian, Lyrics Born, and Heiruspecs. Whether layering live instrumentation into driving mixes or ripping the mic with raw lyrics, Rae channels a message of resilience, power, and collective liberation.

After a transformative hiatus, Rae returned to the scene with renewed fire—bringing freedom and togetherness to every community touched by the music. This isn’t just performance—it’s purpose in motion.

After discovering the scene in Charlotte the late 90's, I soon purchased a set of DJ in a box belt driven tables and started to learn the craft.  That progressed to learning Serato on vinyl and then controllers until finally CDJs.

Most of my mixes end up being drum and bass, but will have breaks and house in there too.  I like most anything with a nice bass beat.
