"THE MAGIC CARPET RIDE" ELECTRONIC STAGE
(Saturday only: Noon til 9:00pm)
"I like to dream, yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here"
"Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf

Starting my life in radio broadcasting I eventually moved into Djing. Now I just luv to just play music and see people move. I don't do this for money, but for a passion. I'm always willing to do the right gig for free or if I do get $ I will donate it to a deserving charity.
