cannot wait for the one+one kickoff @ WMC. zabbo's the master, and now that he and fanciulli are officially teaming up for a tour, it's only going to get better.

same here bro....


but My influence when I was a wee little lad was
Eric B. & Rakim - Paid in Full = my theme song!


Respect!!!


Thinkin of a master plan
Cuz ain't nuthin but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint
So I start my mission- leave my residence
Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin funny
Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos I'm righteous
I feel great! so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe I'll stay alive
So I walk up the street whistlin this
Feelin out of place cos, man, do I miss
A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
Me and Eric B, and a nice big plate of
Fish, which is my favorite dish
But without no money it's still a wish
Cos I don't like to dream about gettin paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
To now test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, cos I'm paid in full

Africa Bambataa and the Zulu Nation fools!!!! yeah, then around that time back in the day, I heard Frankie Knuckles and started to get really into House, along with groups like Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and so forth....... LeftField was a big influence on me back then as well. I started to get into acts like Johnny Z and others cause of the bass and the women loved to jiggle certain body parts. How manny of ya remember the old Razor Maid Series?? back in the mid-late 80's about the time I started to hit up clubs in Houston like CPR, Therapy, Numbers, 6400 and so forth. Then Powertools, Red Square and so forth. But the best experience for me was when I played with Sean Carnahan at the Davenport like back in 99 or was it 2000?? damn pot use grrrrrrrr can't recall--- spun off a coffee table and a couch.
99-2004 I was doing a mix show down in Victoria TX on 95KVIC and thats when I really got into Trance. Shit like, Underworld, Oakenfold, Yakooza, Derb, System F and so forth. The down side to the show and still is was that it was a 4 hr show and I had to play 2 hours of remixed Top 40 by Tunderpuss and Pink Morel mixes . Some of the remixes were really good and I always leaned toward the trancey mixes of the pop shit, but once 12am rolled around it was on like donkey kong.

but now a days I am a serious House Head... still like the trance but I perfer to spin House now.

so do you still play at a radio station? how did you spin off a coffee table and couch?....

These guys did it for me too. Well, Sasha first really, when I heard his Global Underground 009: San Francisco. I knew just about instantly that I wanted to do that. But I was hooked, bought turntables as soon afterwards as I could afford them and started spending way more money than I could really afford on vinyl. I discovered Digweed about a week later, as I was looking for other stuff by Sasha and stumbled upon the Northern Exposure series. Digweed is better than Sasha (or so my taste leads me to think), so I got sucked even deeper in.

And it was a snowball effect from there. I started out being a total nut for progressive house/trance, decided that just plain Trance with a capital T (the kind of stuff that Tiesto and Ferry and Armin play for the most part) just isn't for me, as in I have a hard time enduring it. As time went on I dove into deep, dark progressive, tech house, and the like. Now I'm loving techno a lot (though minimal is still something I don't particularly enjoy a lot of the time), and tech house, but I'll still go nuts over GOOD progressive trance (ya know, music that's maybe technically "trance" but resembles house, like what Sasha and John play when they're not playing techno).

Other early influences were, notably: Hybrid. Sander Kleinenberg. Nick Warren. The Flash Brothers. Orbital. A Dislike of All Hard Trance, cheesy vocal Trance, hardstyle, gabber, and minimal techno.
