Funky Filtered Disco House : The Coach's Preference

First Person Bio...

My grandmother and my uncle took care of 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 the 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. I would look for cool and interesting music that would rarely be played on the radio. My friends took the musical tastes as strange. One of my aunts purchased satellite TV during my senior year in high school. My musical world was changed forever. Soon, I was watching the "Electric Circus" aired on MuchMusic (Canada). These new tunes influenced me throughout college, when college athletics & house parties were the way of life. The shameless lifestyle and strong passion for dance music made me stand out throughout college. It wasn't until my final year in college when warehouse parties became the first option of party. That's another story. After college, I returned to Charleston, WV to look after my then-ill grandmother, focus on an IT career, attend grad school in the area--to live a normal life. Life became anything but normal. I took time to help coach a highly competitive all-age summer track team.

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!
