DJ Story's Biography

DJ Story was born in Jamaica and grew up around music. His father was in a reggae band and Story was in an African marimba band called "Tatenda" (we give thanks) for a few years learning traditional Zimbabwean music. He has been DJing and producing dance music since 1998 when he got setup with his first home recording studio by a musician friend who saw his musical potential. Story enjoyed experimenting, playing and creating sounds with software programs like Logic Audio, Acid, Sound Forge, Fruity Loops, Mixman DJ Megamix and Techno E-Jay.

One day an ad caught his attention about a free DJ Scratching workshop at a teen center nearby where he lived in New Mexico. He got to experiment with the turntables and learned some basic DJ scratching techniques and it was also in that class that he got his first lesson in beatmatching house records. From that point on he was addicted to mixing with vinyl. He had to get a summer job to earn the money for his first turntables.

He started out playing house parties and some outdoor desert raves in New Mexico. Then he got some gigs in San Francisco and Berkeley, and did a few radio interviews in Chico California. He played a set at Burning Man through a whiteout. He lived on Kauai for about 5 years and did a lot of DJing there at beach parties and private parties. Went back to Burning Man with 1000 CDs to give of way of a compilation he co-produced with Dr. Do Right called "Stages of Life", which is available on this site as a free download.

More recently he has been living on Maui and playing at house parties, Source (Maui Regional Burning Man), Kaupo full moon parties and producing psybient, electro house, dubstep and breakbeats using Ableton Live and Propellerheads Reason software. He's also been calaberating with his new friend Sirus B under the new name DSL (Deep Sea Lounge).
