Funky Filtered Disco House : The Coach's Preference

First Person Bio...

My grandmother and my uncle raised me in Cabin Creek, West Virginia, just outside of Charleston, WV. In my spare time, I would record top 40 music that was played on mainstream radio. My uncle kept a slammin' vinyl collection ranging from Michael Jackson & Madonna to Mo-Town 7" vinyl. I ran his belt-drive turntable to the ground and played his keyboard to death, making up tasteless, cheesy melodies. My friends took the musical tastes as strange. My musical scope expanded significantly through Satellite TV, purchased by one of my aunts while in high school. College years consisted of a strong appetite for athletics and house parties. It wasn't until my final year in college when I was introduced to warehouse parties. After college, I returned to Charleston, WV to try to live a normal life.

The original game plan was use my computer science and audio programming background to develop music software. That game plan changed in June 2004. A window of opportunity inspired me to start producing music seriously. As a means to help expose my music, I decided to become a DJ. I chose Coach Roebuck as my DJ name, due to coaching an all-age AAU summer track team in Charleston. Soon I ambitiously traveled all over the East Coast shamelessly promoting myself with inspiration. My first gig was at this big rave on a farm in central West Virginia that summer called Pheonix 3. I practically crashed the party, courtesy of Dub V and MC Akira/DJ Donkey Punch. After a fourty-five minute set, it wasn't too important that I had only two months experience behind the turntables. Less than a year later, I had built a small but very loyal scene locally, a scene that continues to hold it down to this day despite my absence. As word got out regionally, I found myself crashing parties abroad, from parties at the Winter Music Conference in Miami, FL, to a Christmas party in Chicago. The Booty Basics even provided a slot to represent the crew at Starscape 2005 in Baltimore, MD. DJ Kos even joined the party, teaming up with the Coach to throw the infamous STOMP! party in Charleston. My resume consists of rocking parties in some of the most unlikely places, ranging from Arkansas & Kansas to as far away as St. Gallen, Switzerland. Not bad for a Mountaineer...

The musical career has been highlighted by filtered funky house mix sessions and shameless, outlandish promotional schemes that push the envelope--if it can go any further. Today's game plan for today is to release cool and quality dance music, ranging from progressive house to the peak-hour funky filtered house that made my name. Several remixes has been produced for Digital Vinyl Records. A special Buckwild "Barnyard Mix" was produced for Anything But Monday back in March 2008. Crisco Disco was released in August 2008 on Banging Grooves Records, owned by DJ Funsko. A month later, DeepLife Records released the 6-track Keep Dancin' EP.

There are DJs, then there is the Coach. Now that's funky fresh!
