INFLUENCES: Ron Hardy, Larry Levan, Traxx, and DJs Markie and Garth of the Wicked Crew.
MUSICAL STYLE: We could fill a whole magazine w/ the answer to that question . . . Let's just say that I'm a dancer, so I try to connect w/ the floor on a metaphysical level. Through that connection, I channel what "needs" to be played. House is the umbrella under which I do my thing.

CURRENT RESIDENCIES/GIGS: I'm down w/ House Arrest, so you can catch me in the small room at Zentra monthly... Also, my website hosts a monthly party called the Twilight Zone. As far as a true residency, I'm working on a few, and looking for more so, HOLLA AT'CHA BOY!!!.
TOP 5 SONGS: That's tough, but for the sake of the article, let's see . . . Donna Summer, "I Feel Love", Inner City, "Good Life", Frankie Knuckles and Jamie Principle, "Baby Wants to Ride", DJ Pierre, "Axid Trax", Kamasutra, "Dob Jam Dub"
