Always one to actively collect whatever sort of music he was feeling at the moment, it wasn't until he reluctantly fell upon house music 4 years ago when it took over. During the next few years he developed his sound out of the now notorious after hour sessions with the rest of the 112 Crew (Bill Patrick, Matt Licata and Tom Amoroso). It is from these sessions where his talent was discovered and the bookings began to roll in. Dennis has come up quickly in NYC playing along side DJs such as Danny Tenaglia, Danny Howells, James Zabiela, Funk D'Void, Grant Dell, Casa del sol, Jay Tripwire and more. Dennis and the 112 crew held a prestigious residency at Arc NYC until its recent closing, and are current residents at Fluid in Philadelphia. Taking influences from DJs such as Tenaglia, Terry Francis, and Ritchie Hawtin. Dennis values these influences but strives to push the sound forward "I find no reason in recycling what has been done" he says "I constantly try to find new music to keep myself interested and therefore the crowd." With a respect for the venue and the vibe of the night always evident, he finds a way to direct his sounds at the head but move the hips. The ability to find completely unique, techy, quirky, deep house and techno has become his trademark. Dennis recently turned his attention to production joining partners Hisham Samawi and Brendan Benke as The Dirty Gringos. Their first project "Cowbell" has been instantly successful. It's been played by Danny Tenaglia, Danny Howells, Lee Buridge and recently gained the #2 spot in URB Magazine for Best new track of the WMC 2003. On the heels of all of this success Dennis looks forward to the future. "Everything seems to be falling into place." The music has become a part of him and he looks forward to sharing it with who ever will listen. Mixes available at 112crew.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avalon7 Posted July 26 Author Report Share Posted July 26 Ah...less than 2 weeks away. If you're into techno and techouse try not to miss this. Damon Havill and Jamie Tyler will be laying down opening sets as well, so expect a little minimal glitchiness in addition to the tec and house vibes.
