mister mak's equipment

as many of you may know, i am a house dj. i've been spinning vinyl since 2000 and am into house music that moves the soul, making your feet ache. i have an eclectic set of musical influences that shape my sound.

developmentally, i come from 10 years of classical piano, 3 years of jazz, 2 years of percussion and marching band sound, and 2 decades of r&b, hip hop, rock, pop, and punk.

stylistically, i've revered the likes of dj dan, donald gluade, paul van dyke, dj irene, derrick carter, abstract, dieselboy, dj dara, fred everything, mark farina, miguel migs, and dj colette.

these influences meld together to form my hand-picked collection of records where you'll hear funk, deep, latin, and soul -- anything with a funky bass line, jazzy riffs, brass and saxophones, latin percussion and beats, topped with deep, soulful voices.

over the years i've had the opportunity to spin in hollywood clubs, santa monica bars, underground raves, house parties and a wedding, even a west la stripbar.

and if the opportunity ever arises again, you'll most likely hear these all-time favorite tracks somehow mixed in:

michael jackson's "wannabe" just4fun remix
arnold jarvis & alix alvarez's "rising into joy" jay-j's remix
"where da party at" white label
adam collins & sloth present the hustlers "with love"
colette's "what will she do for love" kaskade's more love remix

this stuff moves me. it gives me a high unlike no other. my dj handle? mister mak.
