  I am an experienced after-hours DJ from New Orleans, Louisiana in the U.S.A. I once held concurrent residencies in 3 different cities, in 2 different states 4 nights a week. One of those was at Escapades nightclub in Metairie, La. A legendary afterhours that was open for over 30 yrs. Being an after-hours in a city that alcohol is sold 24/7 and no laws forcing clubs to close at a certain time, a normal closing time for a Saturday Night was between 3 and 5 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Other DJ's that worked there when I was there were DJ G Brown, Trent Cantrell, Dirty Boy Mike. Together we created a legend. 

  In 2002 i stopped playing music. I had truly lost all things that i held dear in my life to the addictions of the records, perfection of talent, and the drugs that accompanied them both. In 2005 a massive category 4 hurricane named Katrina robbed me of my record collection. I lost all interest in dance music for many years.

  In 2013 I started collecting music once again. I had to learn the modern equipment. (cdj’s, traktor, buying music on line not the record store) I started playing again and I am reminded of why I started playing music in the first place…LOVE!!! 

  I’ve been collecting some mixes I did over the years. Some were recorded live, some were recorded at home and used as promo’s. All are mixed with records and all are a real performance. I will have new mixes to come. 

Music is love, love is life, life is music

Sharing my journey through my love for music

🎶❤️ Liebe ist…wenn der Bass einsetzt…🫶🏻🎶
