Upcoming shows: UNCG’s Earth Day Celebration April 21 at Foust Park, 11-2 p.m., and I’ve been DJing at the Greensboro Roller Derby bouts at Skate South in High Point. The next one is May 22.
Got in the game: Started collecting records in 1996, and started really DJing in 2000.

Favorite technique: Finding nice blends of outros and intros
Personal playlist: Lots of new college radio releases, along with any new vinyl discoveries. It’s always changing.
Favorite albums: Way too many to list, but some old reliables include most material by Curtis Mayfield, Van Morrison, Ahmad Jamal and always James Brown. But like I said, it changes almost daily.
My gear: Two Technics 1200s and any working mixer. Wax only, no digital manipulation
