I like to DJ, chill in Montreal, sit on my PORCH drinking Mai Tais, and TRAVEL anywhere. I also play GUITAR and BASS, and mess around with SYNTHS and electronic production. If you get me drunk(?) enough, I can also spit out some of the best FREESTYLE FLOWS this side of the Mississippi! I can also make a seriously deadly NEW ORLEANS HURRICANE. (Note: I should probably take this out after Katrina).

I'm originally from CALIFORNIA (BAY AREA and LOS ANGELES) and desperately miss the BEACHes and sitting in TRAFFIC for hours on the 405 freeway.

I am into general craziness and, as a friend put it "TOO MUCH FUN". I try to "THROW THE MADNESS" at least four times per week. At one time, people in LOS ANGELES were actually taking BETS on whether I would make it to 27. We'll see about that!

I am one of the only people that I know who is privileged enough to own a COMPTON HAT.

I am probably the worst possible person to have as a neighbor, due to owning a high wattage sound system, and being almost oblivious to noise ordinances.

I actually have AN ARREST WARRANT for a noise violation in CALIFORNIA, so I am currently hiding out in QUEENS, NEW YORK... My AOL iM is DJides... Hit me up!

Ciao!

UPDATE! (10/2005) [too lazy to retype the above]:
I just bought a place in NEW JERSEY, so I've migrated across two rivers since arriving in New York. (Queens to Manhattan, and now to Jersey City, NJ!). I now spend a great deal of my time chilling out at HOME DEPOT and worrying about POINTING BRICKS.

I'm also taking a 6 month holiday from drinking (difficult with a constantly drunken Aussie roomate!). The world is definately a different place when seen from outside the alternation of drunkeness and hangover!

I am currently engaged in the process of starting a RECORD LABEL (2 sublabels: Progressive House and Rap), with aspirations of creating a MULTIMEDIA EMPIRE! If you have TALENT (vocalist, rapper, production skills, etc.) get in touch with me. I'LL MAKE YOU FAMOUS!

Anyone in New York City, Quebec, Iceland, London, Argentina, Bulgaria, or anywhere else in the world!... Especially people into DJing and/or Producing BREAKS and any flavours of HOUSE music.

CLUB OWNERS/PROMOTERS: If you are interested in having the ROOF BLOWN OFF your establishment, email me for my DJ mix CD. I am available to spin WORLDWIDE (progressive house, breaks). Contact me for rates.

TALENTED PEOPLE: I need VOCALISTS and RAPPERS for my original productions. I write raps/vocals, or would be down for collaboration. If you produce, and would like to collaborate, I would definately be down, especially in the NYC area. Take a look at my "Favorite Music" section to get an idea of what I am doing.

PRODUCERS: If you have INCREDIBLE house or breaks tracks you are looking to LICENSE for a DJ mix compilation, contact me ASAP. Current works in progress include a downtempo/DUB/chill DJ Mix, and progressive house/breaks mixes. Definately going for widespread commercial release!
