First Party: NASA event in the early 90s, Paul C dragged me to it. Thanks man! Favorite Club: In Pittsburgh? N/A - In the early days as long as venue had bass bins I was happy. Favorite Party that was promptly shut down shortly thereafter: Heaven New Year's Eve 95 - From what I remember the speakers stacks were close to 10 feet high (I'm 5'11) and everyone was havin' it until NYC's finest kicked everyone out.

Basic Channel first DEMF 3 hours of brilliance in the afternoon sun Favorite Detroit djing experience: 7th City After party - 1st DEMF Humbling, since Ive been a fan boy for close to 10 years at this point Funniest Djing experience: Toronto a couple of years ago Carl Craig, Moonstarr, Todd Sines, James Duncan and various other people on the bill I happened to be in town for the show and was asked to throw on few records because Carl was running late. So for the next 45 min to an hour I had to explain to every patron that asked that I wasnt Carl Craig and that Im just another black guy who happens to play Detroit techno.
