From then on he was hooked on Chicago's underground pulse. In the past ten years, he has lived in the UK and the New York City area - chasing beats, clubs, and records - throwing parties, and DJing whenever possible. In 1999, he settled in Chicago to pursue his DJ career intensively and finish a master's degree in English/literature. Since then, he has spun his hybrid of percussive prog-house beats and breaks all over the city - from major clubs such as Crobar, Rednofive, and Smartbar to stacked loft parties for Chthonic and Dharmony. His long-running residency was at Rednofive/Fifth Floor on Fridays, spinning for both Soma and Material. He has also been an editor for the dance-music magazine Thousand Words and a progressive-house associate at Gramaphone Records. His versatile sound lands smack in the middle of house and deep progressive - earning him the chance to play alongside housers such as Colette and Derrick Carter, to progressives John Creamer and Dave Seaman.His current CD project, beatnikbeats, is a one-of-a-kind spoken-word mix that blends beatnik poetry over silked-out house, breaks, and deep progressive grooves. It is the only mix of its kind on the planet, penetrating the ears and the mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
