DJ-138 ( Marco Mirenzi)
(Midnight Sons, SF/OAK)
Originally hailing from the Washington DC area, DJ 138 has been playing dance music since late 1999. Starting off learning the ropes with the broad spectrum that is the House genre, this entity swiftly fell in love with a thing called a \”breakbeat\”, and while DJ 138 never lost it\’s love for the four on the floor style, the breakbeat became it\’s favorite muse. Drum&Bass, Breaks, Downtempo – if it\’s got a broken beat, DJ 138 will exploit it.
