"What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist." - Salman Rushdie

House and techno have been an obsession for me since my musically formative teenage years in the 1980s. I grew up immersed in hip-hop, industrial, early house, Detroit techno and the bleepy Warp records sound. All of this shaped my ear long before I ever stepped behind a pair of turntables. A major turning point came in 1992, during a trip to New York City. I visited the legendary Club Shelter and heard Timmy Regisford play. The warmth, the emotional depth, and the spiritual energy of deep house in that room hit me in a way that I can still feel today. On that same trip, I picked up Kerri Chandler’s “Atmosphere EP.” That record — and that night at Shelter — brought my love of deep house fully into focus. It made me want to become a DJ more than ever before. When I came home, I found became even more immersed in local underground, and that community became everything. The music, the dancers, the culture — it felt like where I belonged. And the more I learned, the more I understood how deeply this music is rooted in Black and gay communities. That history means a lot to me. I’ve always tried to approach this music with respect, humility, and a sense of responsibility. I don’t see myself as someone borrowing from a culture. I see myself as someone contributing to a lineage that has given me so much. More recently, trips to Detroit’s Movement Festival and its surrounding parties — as well as time spent in Chicago at the Chosen Few Picnic and other events — have deepened that sense of connection even further. Being in those cities, hanging out with original hosts, originators, and techno pioneers from the early days, and hearing DJs who were truly foundational to the music… it’s been extremely inspiring. Those experiences have impacted me profoundly, both as a DJ and as a producer. They remind me where this all comes from, and why it matters. From 1999–2006, I held a residency at Vancouver’s Lotus Sound Lounge called Deepen, which I started and later shared with my musical brothers Jay Tripwire and Tyler Stadius. We brought in incredible artists from around the world — many who are still touring today. Looking back, I really feel like we had our finger on the pulse of timeless music. Deepen wasn’t just a weekly; it was an era in the city’s underground story. In the studio, my sound is shaped by the same influences that formed me as a DJ — deep, soulful rhythms, warm pads, jacking drums, and the swing of classic Chicago and New York house. I’m drawn to music that feels human and emotional, with a sense of tension, release, and atmosphere. Whether I’m programming drums, shaping basslines, or layering chords, I always aim for a balance of grit and soul, and for grooves that feel alive. As a DJ, I’m drawn to the full spectrum of this culture — from stripped-down techno to jacking acid to deep, soulful house. No matter where the set goes, everything I play has a connection back to Jack and the foundational spirit of this music. My approach is warm, intentional, groove-focused, emotional, and human. My vision has always been the same:
to create a futuristic dance experience energized with funk, soul, and emotion — music that moves the body, speaks to the spirit, honours its roots, and stands the test of time. This is the sound I love, and I’m grateful every day to be a part of it. And the truth is, I’ve never regretted a single moment spent digging, buying records, DJing, or producing — I’ve loved it fully from the beginning, and I still do.
