I saw all those Disco movies when I was a kid. I was easily influenced. One day, I talked my fifth grade home-room teacher into letting me turn our class-room into a disco. I brought my records from home, along with my Radio-Shack Disco lights and I borrowed a couple of those big tweed-clad record players with the speakers built in. You know, the kind that public schools used to have. Anyway, I never looked back. After High School, I volunteered as a night time DJ for a community radio station. I filled the airwaves with early 90s House Music and Techno, ultimately assuming the role as Dance Music Director. Again, easily influenced, I got wrapped up in the politics of the station which was staffed by former Black Panther activists and old school Jazz-heads. Unknown to me at the time, my radio programs became the inspiration for a lot of the raves and warehouse parties in my region. Before long, I was DJing local and regional warehouse parties, advocating House Music with the passion of a evangelist. After the PLUR was gone, I happily made the transition from the warehouse gigs to playing late night clubs and bars. Today, I DJ and reside Austin, Texas. I have played several Austin venues including Lanai, Barcelona and Plush. I like watching TV while I listen to music. I prefer watching three TVs at a time. I text message while I drive. I advocate ADD, it has served me well. You can check out my radio show, Boombox Acrobatics, live on Myhouse-Yourhouse every other Sunday at Myhouse-Yourhouse.net.
