Other than cooking, placing songs together in a harmonic rhythm (better known as DJing) is my second favorite past time. I've played alongside known artists as Stacey Pullen, Frankie Bones, Sandra Collins, Lady Miss Kier (Deee-Lite), Laurent Garnier and many, many others at clubs and raves across the country (east and west coast.) Just like cooking, I think spinning records can be compared to as a form of art. The arrangement and flow of how everything comes together as a final result is amazing to me. I love listening to DJ's since each has their own technique and preference to how and what they spin. Known for years as "DJ Kahlua", I've been recently using my alter-ego "CJS".

I can't say I have an all around favorite style of music, but I've played at events where I've featured Techno, Hard House, Trance, Drum n' Bass, Hip Hop, Rock, Heavy Metal, Country, to just about anything else you can think of. The best part for me is looking on from the DJ booth and seeing people having fun and grooving to the sounds that are being put together. It's a fascinating feeling and a heck of a rush for me.

Other than being a Friday night resident DJ for a year at Maloney's (4th Avenue), I really haven't had the time to play elsewhere since moving to Tucson! Check back for more mixes to be posted.
