Funky Filtered Disco House : The Coach's Preference
In 2004, after experiencing a revelation while enhancing a music notation program developed while an undergrad, I found a new love in producing bootleg remixes. 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 the summer track team. Soon thousands of dollars was spent on equipment, and countless hours were spent either playing records or ambitiously travelling all over the East Coast shamelessly promoting myself. 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. Six months later, I was dropping house music in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Meanwhile, in Charleston, WV, I developed a game plan to push dance music to an unapethic and terribly ignorant local community. I held a residency at the Edge Nightclub before appearing as a special guest DJ at the Pour House Sports Bar. I had help from abroad. The Booty Basics hooked me up with a short slot to represent the crew at Starscape 2005 in Baltimore, MD. DJ Kos discovered me and convinced me to throw the shameless STOMP! party. Charleston soon figured out Coach Roebuck is no joke.
Today, the buzz continues, highlighted by filtered funky house mix sessions and shameless promotional schemes. I've crashed parties from Chicago, to the Winter Music Conference, to as far away as Switzerland, to the most unlikely places, like Arkansas, in such a short time. The game plan for the next round is to focus on production. Several releases are underway, courtesy of Digital Vinyl Records. Several remixes are being exploited, one of which puts the Why? into Country Music in my special Anything But Monday - Buckwild Barnyard Mix.
There are DJs, then there is the Coach. Now that's funky fresh!
