ndm: So, tell me about the 14 years old club-kid days. Joseph and I met during my stint as a club kid in 1988, and I was 15 (laughs)! Amazing, isn’t it; the tightly woven fabric that is the house music community. I was a Tunnel “regular” (downstairs) and you?

RF: I wasn’t a regular at any particular spot in New York City but I was at the Tunnel, Mars, and some others that I really can’t remember right now. Those were the days though. I always thought it was so cool to get down at an over 21 club and party with all these different people – From different backgrounds. The sound was mesmerizing and that was what brought everyone together. It was life changing for me. It was also good to get down on the dance floor and set yourself free.


ndm: You speak highly of your “magnificent” moment behind the tables in Club Shelter. How has the opportunity to observe the industry greats influenced your desire to DJ and produce?
