> First Memories: 30 years ago playing with my show and tell, making the screen go back and forth as I moved this record: > First Influences: My parents were cool but dad was strict (Marine, Attorney & first to go to college in his family), Had actually owned a private recording studio (which I blame my obsession with musical gadgets) . Coming from New Orleans i can remember hearing everything thing imaginable everywhere you look. > Musical History: I started Blues & Soul, Jazz & Classic Rock: Then when early Funk & R&B: into 80’s, Disco & pop Somewhere I snuck in the origins of Hip-Hop while delving Reggae, Ska, then Punk.( I used to slam dance, skateboard and had a Mohawk). Then came back to Hip-Hop & then went early House and Breaks; while listening to Trip-Hop & Acid Jazz some Industrial & Goth shit along the way! Now i I used to play a lot of different instruments but gave it all up for the turntable Best thing is I have a collection of vinyl that has traveled 3 states and spans as far back as the 60’s. And I still have my original copies of Electric Company and Sesame Street on Vinyl (when it really was Vinyl) I pretty much can evenjoy any & everything except Modern Country/POP & Underproduced Trance. Now I love: Classic Hip-Hop, D&B, Breaks, House, Techno, Latin, Tribal, Prog, and curretly play them ALL
