| Music Style: | My style has always been deep to funky house but now I'm leaning towards the more grinding electro house sound with deep hooks and phat driving bass lines.
Started playing funky house and got into the harder tech house scene. Now my style depends on my mood but my collection has grown from old school into deep house and electro or anything else I fall for. I've always had a keen interest in techno, drum & bass, breaks and psychedelic trance. I love and collect all styles of music. If it's good I'll buy it!
