It all started back in 1987 for me; music and fashion were what I was into. I use to love going out and just partying, listening to music and of course dancing that was the healthy part of the lifestyle back then. I first began spinning records or actually tapes first. I had a pretty good amount of music that was unreleased on vinyl of classic underground Chicago sound.
In 1989 I decided after one of our 8 day parties over Booda house to invest in a mixer (Pyramid) and bought some 12’s. We colleted records from everywhere and made the base of our Dj experience over my house in “the Basement”. I built a record bin that amassed our collection and put each record in alphabetical order of artist first letter. This made it easier to locate records.
In 1992 I ran into Brian Reaves and Mike Brown, Brian was not mixing then but he came over my house and was amazed to see so much equipment and music. He got on the phone and called someone and said “Man its so much music over here and its all organized, I bout to start playing music again” and then hung up. Mike and Brian started doing a lot various parties that I played at along with Glenn Underground, but in 1995 the highlight was when they had the B-Side Café that Summer. I played one particular night in May and had a blast.
Rahaan came back home late that Summer and We started a Residency at the “Spot” on Sunday Night. After that episode I got tired of the rat-race and stop spinning all together. I gave Rahaan the equipment and all the Wax I had and told him” It’s Your Turn, to carry the load”
In 1999 I expand my interest in to Design and started a company in 2001 afrodesia mediaworks. I never lost my interest in music and started making tracks in 2002 mostly experimental.
