From Booty Shaking Beats to Rock Star Dreams: A DJ’s Musical Journey
In this interview excerpt, the DJ explains that his original goal was to become a rock star, but acknowledges that in the Southeast he needed to produce dancefloor‑oriented “booty‑shake” tracks to succeed. While DJing in Sacramento, he ordered 12‑inch dance records from a distributor in Washington, D.C., which gave him access to a wide array of regional sounds—including New York, Southern, Midwest, Texas, and Los Angeles releases—shaping an eclectic musical style that blends his rock‑star aspirations with the demands of the dance market.
