As they say in showbiz “The Show Must Go On”. Due to a prior family commitment, Becka is off again, but tune in as The Rev will be stepping up to serve you your weekly dose of sounds from Gotham City.

A lifelong disciple of music and performer since the age of 9, The Rev made the decks his pulpit in 1999. Since then he has maintained an active role in the underground dance music scene in New York. While studying as a student of music technology at NYU, he headed their electronic music club, hosting parties and informational sessions. He quickly got involved throwing loft parties and outlaws with the Machinati crew and his own endeavour, Underground Funk Initiative. Today he continues his mission to push underground sounds and ideas as a member of the artist collective Citizens of Utopia.

In 2002 he held his first residency at Guernica and began working with international techno label Gotham Grooves, where he soon became editor of their newsletter Future Frequencies. The following year he linked up with the Simply Bangin crew, doing events at lounges around New York City, including a residency at Liquids. That year he also began a stint working for TopDJGear.
He has given sermons in a multitude of New York City warehouses, lofts, lounges, parks, rooftops and underneath its bridges, and even at the legendary Tronic Treatment party. His mission has spread as far as Detroit, Philadelphia and Boston and has included apperances alongside Adam X, Agent Orange, Supah DJ Dmitri, and Jason Jinx.

The Rev is dedicated to preaching the gospel of funk in all its many forms. Be it funky techno, warm electro, pounding hard techno, bouncy minimal, dirty tweaked out techno, or even some deep disco house, anything is fair game. Whatever style he chooses, he strives to make sure his tracks have something special that separate them from the countless uninventive records that sound the same.

Look out in 2005 as The Rev is currently taking his ministry further with original production and a Live PA.


Tune in, sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds from Gotham City…….
