We were somewhere in Dallas on the edge of the one-hour mark when the whiskey began to take hold…
Brian gets his first house music exposure in a bathtub, describes learning to spin in a bathroom, talks using Gemini belt drive turntables and the inherent focus required for mixing, music as being confusing for a consumer, singing into a vacuum as a child, how Gary Neumann drove him into house music, accordions, comfort songs for DJs, being a record bitch, Rob Vaughan as the godfather of house music in Dallas, living next door to Oaklawn Records and the unique pressure of previewing your vinyl selections, taking time off for family, the Starck Club as a safe haven to be yourself, death metal mix tape j-cards, the re-emergence of the house music scene, of mentoring and being mentored, DJs meeting their DJ heroes, Demarkus Lewis as a roommate, and Michael McDonald’s theorized (but kinda true) Toto connection.
