Bio

A man with a love for House, all kinds, my specialities are more geared towards House based in electronics and soundscape vocals, but have an appreciation for all House. Deep House/DeepTech/Tech House, even some Trance and DnB, that's what I'll be spinning. My first time mixing I was 10, with a bunch of kids from my neighborhood, I used 2 Close n Plays in my garage. I'm 61 now, I'm sure you know math.

I was lucky to have been involved with developing Buffalo's more forward thinking clubs amd events. The largest was NETWORK, owned by former Bill's Quarterback Jim Kelly and held 2000 people and was packed Thurs-Sat. For years I was a reporting member of the now defunct Rockpool, based out of NYC and closely associated with the New Music Seminar. I attended that event each year.

I started in 83 with my first residency spinning Top 40. I then moved into a different direction. Following my start I DJ'd Post Punk Alternative at The Continental, then House at JAM Club, then Industrial at ICON, then DnB at Artists & Models. With another talent, Chris XOtec Moody, we hosted the first Rave nights at Adventure Club. I helped introduce House music to Buffalo, hosting events under the name Clubhouse 9, hosted at the Tralf and broadcast on Local Access Cable Channel 5. For about 16 years I flew from Florida to Buffalo to help my friend Robbie Takac with his charity event, Music Is Art. From small beginnings to now being a massive day long music and arts festival, I've been honored to be a part of this amazing event.

I also produce my own music under the name Chronic Masterminds, you can find some of those tracks here, as well as on my YouTube channel.

I walked away from DJing in '97 when I was married, gave a lot of my vinyl to other friends who DJ'd, kept a few crates for myself. Now I'm back.
