34. Just turning grey on the side.
Started deejaying acid jazz on the radio (Moods 'N Grooves, WNUR 89.3 FM)
back in '89 or so. Really got into around '92 or '93 after going through my
underground techno, post industrial dance phase. Ten years later I still dig
it (though a few of those early records sound really DATED now). I'll keep
deejaying as long as I can stay up and carry my crates :).

I'm new here but a downtempo / AJ DJ for quite at long time part of a dj duo
called deja blu. I'm 30. My partner is 33. Sometimes I question my age
and being a DJ. I refuse to grow up so why not continue(free coctails
help!!!). I have a great day job that pays my bills and supports my music
addiction and I still love the hunt for really awesome fresh beats.
