I coined myself Dj Cook in 1993 in Madison, WI.  I saw turntables as plates in the kitchen and the mixer as a device for making entrees.  I viewed the EQ and effects as a way of spicing up and garnishing those plates.  In the end I drew parallels between music and food.  

My motto:  A cook provides food for the table.. Dj Cook provides ear food on the turntable.  

As of late I've been tinkering with 'lectronic music production under the name "Kitchen Boy".  I'm really diggin production.  I feel it completes the natural progression of FIRST a dancer, then a DJ, then a producer.

 Everything is a work in progress.. and Goddamnit if I don't love Techno and food!

I hope that with every set I introduce you to at least one new song that you immediately fall in love with. I play music from all over the world, but it's all aimed at getting you up and dancing. I have fun playing, and I want you to have fun listening too.

The duo il est Vilaine believes that their first track breathes the masculine fragrance of some James dean stepping out of a backroom. it’s a lot worse. With deep bass and highly pitched gimmicks, the duo is not so much of an electronic pun, rather a dancing machine combining the efficiency of good old acid-house and the hypnotic features of productions such as remote, kill the dJ or Tim Paris. At once wild and Western, urban and mystical, we are happily confronted with a sound, an identity- a rare occurrence in these days of neat clean electro-pop. eschewing the fashion and uniformity of some sterile purism, il est Vilaine’s first record, released by dialect, is quite perfect, like a road movie with dennis hopper on Akira’s bike. And it would end at a rave party in some warehouse, obviously.
