"Life is rhythm, rhythm is life, then you become the dance and it's at that moment you realize this whole time you've been dancing, it's been to the rhythm of life". 

Music helps to set life's mood.  How did I get here??? Well its been quite a journey. You see I love it all, from 70's soul, 80's funk, alternative. Quality music is my passion. Early 80's hip-hop and the Bay Area rave scene in the 90's shaped my DJ persona.  

For 20 + years House has run deep in my blood and in that same time Techno has become my sultry mistress.  You could say I love all things electronic and that encompasses a lot of different sounds. Everything from hip-hop, house, tech-house, techno, down-tempo,  and drum n bass.  Nothing Pop though and sorry NO EDM. 

I really love things that are Underground. Yeah Underground Dance Music is what I play. I love music that makes you dance and I love sharing new sounds. I especially  love the art of DJ mixing and specifically those who create a journey and a story with music. I hope to dance and groove as long as my soul feels it and my body allows. 

Well my my Soundcloud page, is now revamped and ready to  expose  beautiful, deep,techy, groovy, and some times hard hitting sounds!!!! I will keep it varied but always real. Please enjoy what you hear (feedback appreciated)!!!!!
