Re-recording of my set played on August 18th 2024 at Retox.  

I've taken great joy in celebrating the artists and labels that have inspired me through my career over the last 25+ years, and this set has a sprinkle of some of my favorite artists past and present. 

As always I'm grateful to be able to bring this unique music all over the Twin Cities and hopefully bring something different to our scene.  UKG? Funky Bass House? Jackin Bass?  Breaks House?  

I like to call it Hard Funk.

The Hard Funk (Aug 2024)

My set from Mechnix on Feb 21, 2025, minus the 10 mins of DNB at the end.  That was something I kind of threw in to pay tribute to my hosts, but I feel like I want to work on that a bit if I'm going to share with others.  Enjoy!!!

MechanixMix (Feb 2025)

Rerecording of my set from Discoknect!  It's tweaked a little as I wanted to make sure the songs marinated a little longer than they had live.

DeejayNeko learned the art of turntable djing in 1996 while living abroad in Birmingham, England. He moved to Minneapolis in 2000 and established himself quickly in the local scene as an energetic live performer thanks to winning a DJ contest at the historic First Avenue. Neko's performances with the DJ crews True Funk Army, Steppers Alliance, and Progress were written about in Time Magazine, Urb, City Pages, and the Associated Press. Neko also played solo shows with such internationally respected names as Seb Fontaine, AK1200, Christopher Lawrence, DJ Dara, Tommie Sunshine, John Acquaviva, Dieselboy, Freddy Fresh, Brad Owen, Thee-O, Kenny Gino, Woody McBride, Diva D, Jack Trash, Spree, Speedy, and Junkie XL. DeejayNeko took a hiatus from the DJ world in 2007, returning in 2023 to perform funky breaks, UKG, jackin' house, and hard breaks for dance music fans across the Twin Cities.
