Where you've seen him: Well we (the party/ central booking) have our monthly parties, Hands Up (The Loft) and The Party (Zubar), which are both in the Dallas area. Since moving to Austin almost three years ago, I have managed to have some really good residencies. I currently have weekly residencies at Beauty Bar as well as the longest running hip hop night in Austin which is held at Nasty's with my good friend Dj Mel. I also have the monthly residency at Mohawk which is the Austin "The Party".
Genre: This is always a tough question. I can try to be really specific, but I don't really have that much space to explain the whole deal. Basically, anything with soul in it. I try not to play one specific genre generally to keep things fresh and please as many tastes as possible. I have had a strong musical upbringing and have managed to keep a wide radar for all things.

Memorable DJ Booth Moment: There was time when a girl came to request something from me at Beauty Bar and her breast managed to take the needle completely off the record that was playing and we then proceeded to have an argument about her breast knocking the needle off the record. She then came back to the booth and proceeded to intentionally hit the needle off the record this time with her hand. I then got her kicked out.
Dream gig: Well it's not really dj related for the most part, but I guess there is some lineage and direction towards it. here goes.
Larry Levan (dj set)
Arthur Russell (live performance)
Daft Punk (dj set)
Yo La Tengo (live performance)
As far as a dream gig for myself, that would require a time machine. I would love to be able to play along side kool herc, jazzy jay, afrika bambaataa or any of the countless other founders in New York roughly around 79-83.
Dallas DJs are.... not really on my radar. I can speak highly of those I know, and speak poorly of those that dont know any better. Vinyl is still in my life, diversity is a must, and bottle service is a joke.
