DJing philosophy: “There are so many hundreds of incredible dance tracks of all genres that I dearly love that don’t get played out almost anywhere. I feel a responsibility to expose people to lesser-known tracks that deserve to be regarded as classics. I start out a set giving people a little of what they already know, then start mixing in more and more of what they don’t yet know they will absolutely love.”

Format: “Depends on the party/genre. I go back and forth between vinyl and laptop/controller.”

Worst request: “I guess the one that sticks out the most was, recently in the middle of a set a guy comes up to the booth and says, ‘Hey, bro, what are you playing tonight?’ and I say, ‘It’s a goth/industrial/darkwave night,’ and he says, ‘I don’t know what that is, but my girl wants hear Carly Rae Jepsen, so play that next.'”

Upcoming events:
“Friday 11/9 at Clock-Out Lounge with Monsterwatch, SSDD, Dead Spells”
“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang at the Cha Cha Lounge, Thursday 11/29, 9 pm, free.”
