Hearing This From Other People Makes Me Feel Good
 

My latest update to www.superstarfreaks.com/blog

I gotta admit, I get pretty shy and normally change the subject on people whenever they go on and on about me being good at the DJ thing. I started as a young child at age 6 playing drums in the elementary school. I progressed and it was soon apparent that music came pretty natural to me. I never read sheet music and actually refused to, and really almost ended my High School music career with the band teacher and schools composer. I didn’t need it. I memorized and naturally played by ear.

After high school and getting into the Air Force, I realized how much I missed the music and went inward at home with a home studio and such. Around 1995 I started getting into the club scene and would stand and watch the DJs and learn from what they did. After a while, I started to criticize some of them. I knew I could do it better. I got some cheap turntables to start with and hit the decks. I started becoming friends with the promoters around town and did alot of shit jobs in the club until I got myself on the turntables. Once I got on the decks in front of people, it was all over. It was the best drug I ever experienced. Getting those people all riled up and rocking the room, and putting things together in the air that didn’t even belong together really gave me wood.

The rest of the story is history. Over 10 countries, and about 15 or so states in the USA, totaling over 300+ nightclubs cultured and matured me. I learned a lot from other DJs and was eventually headlining clubs with large crowds. I wish I had all the flyers and such from all the clubs, but I only have this sample gallery of flyers left over.

A few days ago, my girl Aimee Sweet sent me this from her forum. I get this from people every now and then, and to be honest it kind of validates to me that I didn’t waste 12 years of my life. Well, that and the 15,000 pictures or so I have collected of all my travels and such that I am slowly working onto this site and my dj sites Airek.com and DesignedEntertainment.com.

Stuff like this really makes me feel good and that people do appreciate what you do and your footprints that you leave behind impact people and make it all worth while. To know that even one person thinks you do something good is rad. It’s not a pot of gold to most, but to me it means the world. Thanks Mustang, Hit me up at djairek at gmail dot com and I will make sure you get copies of every mix CD I ever made, which is quite a bit.

When I have such shitty days sometimes and stress on getting shit done in adult, something like this always reminds me that theres more to my life than porn. :2 cents:

airek, you are an amazing dj, business man and friend! We've gotta bring your music to the masses ;)

letting go is tough. haha

yo jace, where is that cover, i can't find it, i wanna put it in the post

Well, bringing DJ music to a mass sounds a bit weird... :1orglaugh

Anyway, airek, which bands have had the biggest influence on you?

that's pretty fuckin cool - what a small world.

and hit me up about that mix I asked ya about if ya get time

recently,

linkin park, fort minor, tool, eminem, jay z, NIN, korn, red hot chili peppers, grandmaster flash, felix da housecat, NOFX, some metal, lots of disco and chillout.

youth to young man

80's hair bands, rolling stones, pink floyd, depeche mode, prince, run dmc, aerosmith, def leppard, i was a rocker for a bit

being a dj i have to be musically open to lots of styles to appreciate what is released for clubs and stuff. i play a style called mash up which incorporates aspects of many eras into current electronic smashes for the club scene. dj jace plays a genre of mash up sometimes as well. theres so many more to name, but these came to mind first.

the only thing that i don't care for is country, otherwise i have an appreciation for it. :thumbsup

you got it, i'll hook it up for you right after phoenix forum.

cough cough
I play remixes

hehe

dj airek is the coolest dj on the face of earth:thumbsup!

we want to all come back already. haha. :thumbsup
