My first party was at a farmhouse, New Years Eve 1999. The first record I played publicly was Eye of The Tiger. In the years since, the technology has changed and my repertoire has broadened, but basically its been more of the same. I've DJ'ed in bars, restaurants, lounges, clubs, church basements, synagogues, tents, a converted bank, farms, lofts, outdoor festivals, public gardens, school gyms, private homes and poolside; presided over an average of 10 weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, office parties, group celebrations, bar mitzvahs, and 8th grade-proms a year; in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Philly, Miami, Boston, Vermont, Mexico, and Cuba. My music for performance is stored on a laptop but controlled by turntables, so the breadth of music I play is virtually without limit while the mixing remains 'classical.' My personal tastes run towards soul, early-90s hip hop and house, dancehall, various Latin, Brazilian and African styles, classic and indie rock, and current pop. However, my primary purpose is to keep you and your celebrants moving, so my set list varies widely for each event and is heavily-tailored to your party.
