Profile:
My New York experience began at two small venues, The Bar and The Vault. A few months later I was given a guest appearance at Webster Hall, which became a residency for about four years. I played every room at certain points, entertaining the crowds with everything from House and Techno to Rock and Disco. I always manage to have an underground flavor, with well-timed surprises thrown in for good measure. In March of 1997 I took over the main floor of The Bank, a legendary haven for Industrial, EBM, Gothic, New Wave and later Synthpop devotees. In the two plus years at The Bank, the weekly crowds double, swelling to near and sometimes over capacity. The Bank was eventually sold, and the party Albion joined forces with Batcave, then on haitus, forging an alliance that lasted through late 2006. During my simultaneous employment at Webster Hall and The Bank, I also managed to throw my own party, Electra-City, for three years at The Pyramid. Multiple guest appearances around the country and in Europe have rounded out my performance experience. I’ve also had the fortune of playing at events and concerts with a number of high-profile acts, such as George Clinton & the P-Funk Allstars, Shannon, Apoptygma Berzerk, Boy George, The Henry Rollins Band, DJ X-Dream, The Cruxshadows, VNV Nation, Wolfsheim, Danzig, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and more. I played for Amnesty International’s 2000 event featuring Patrick Stewart, Bill Clinton’s 1996 Campaign Kick-Off, the Internet Awards 2001, PC Expo, several high-profile fashion shows and Comedy Central Events. I spin the annual Witches Ball, and was resident at Club 2686 (formerly Luxe) with my dj set live broadcast on WLIR FM from March 2003 to March 2004. My current labor of love is Club Anubis, a cross-genre party for all things underground, plus I currently have a residency at Splash Bar and spin there most Mondays. I frequently open and/or close for Junior Vasquez, Hex Hector, Frankie Knuckles, Rob Leslie and others.
Likes:
Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Arabica, not robusta, of course. I like most food, but I don't like olives much. The jury's still out on Scrapple, I might eat it if I don't read the ingredients. Ok now onto the good stuff, I like Egyptian mythology, especially in regards to Anubis, but that's obvious if you know me. I like martial arts, divination, travel, the beach at night (when there's no gunfire), and having my laundry done by someone else.
Dislikes:
Olives. Except on pizza. Oh, and scrapple... the jury's back in, hate it.
