Years DJing: Music has always been what has guided my life, dear to me to the point that I feel I was DJing in utero. I actually gathered turntables and a mixer in 2001 and learned to play during a cheeky year off. My first club gigs were in 2002, at the now-defunct Red Sea and Cobalt Lounge.
Genres: I prefer not to refer to music by genre if I can avoid it, but usually I fall into the acid-house, jacking-techno, bass-house area.
Where you can catch me regularly: Modern Ritual with Laura Lynn at the Liquor Store, the fourth Saturday of each month.
Craziest gig: Playing the inaugural set on the Dragon Stage for What the Festival. The energy leading up to and during was unbelievable!
My go-to records: Andrea Parker featuring DJ Assault & DJ Godfather's "Freaky Bitches," Claro Intelecto's "Peace of Mind," Junior Boys' "Love Is a Fire," Timothy Blake's "The Stormy Search (Marquis Hawkes Remix)."
Don't ever ask me to play…: Well, usually whatever they're requesting, I don't have, because I have an idea of the feeling I want to put out there. If someone isn't feeling it, well, that's a shame—but you can't make everyone happy all the time. As a DJ, I believe I should be able to entertain others by what entertains me, and the vast majority of the time, it works like a charm.
NEXT GIG: The Perfect Cyn spins at the 10th annual Playground Park Party, under the St. Johns Bridge in Cathedral Park, on Saturday, June 25. 11 am. Free. All ages.
