PERSONAL MESSAGE:  “I mix a blend of soulful & high energy underground house music as if my life depends on it… FOR THE LOVE OF HOUSE.

EXPERIENCE: Finally learned how to work the decks during the winter of 2006/2007 after a chance meeting with Chicago DJ Thelonious Funk turned into an offer of free lessons … bluffed my way into my first major club gig that summer, househead for 15+ years, former guitarist in various Chicago rock bands (Bodhisattva, Octopussy), former owner of Chicago underground rock label Urban Legends Records (The Wesley Willis Fiasco, Trailer Hitch, etc.), previously a writer for various underground punk/rock/alternative music ‘zines in the late-80′s/early 90′s.  Learned how to play guitar after stumbling into a The JESUS LIZARD show at Chicago’s Cabaret Metro and, after picking my jaw up off of the floor, made my way backstage to ask their guitarist Duane Denison if he would teach me how to play.  His answer, thankfully, was “yes”.
