Years DJ'ing: I've been playing for 18 years, and getting paid for it for 10.
Genre: I used to get billed as a boogie-funk DJ, though at the time I was playing equal amounts of Italo disco and electro. Now I just play whatever feels right for the time.
Where you can catch me regularly: Killingsworth Dynasty, Moloko, Dig a Pony, Jackknife, the High Dive.
Craziest gig: There was the time I shared tables with the magnificent Jazzy Jeff last summer at the Do-Over, but that was just crazy for me internally. I'd have to go with the night my set ended with a fight between members of "the Real Gang Girlfriends of North Portland."
My go-to records: I like to get at least one Bugz in the Attic tune in a set. The off-beat syncopation provides a little challenge in the mix and always sounds awesome coming out of a straight-beat track that people already know. There's also a cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic" that I play not so often anymore, but it's awesome to see people questioning themselves before the beat comes in. "Do I know this?" or "What the eff is this guy playing?" then flipping out once the bass is back.
Don't ever ask me to play…: Anything by Future or Fetty Wap. Not to mention that when I detect the start of the phrase "Do you have any…" my mind literally goes blank for a few seconds.
