The Kat In the Trap is a story within a story, but ultimately it;s about building a brand. For years, I've worked in gentlemen's clubs and the vast majority of younger entertainers like Hip Hop, R&B, and Trap Music. This series best represents my connection with the younger generation in my industry through music. As I've progressed my skills over the years and branched out of my comfort zone, I took my mixes to different platforms such as radio mix shows, podcasting, and so forth. Thank you...

Recently I've been experimenting with Phase, a new form of Dj gear that replaces needles for Turntables. I takes some getting used to that's for sure. I'm still new to mixing which is cool because I learn something new each time I do a mix or mixshow. I like to include my mistakes because what I'm putting together is authentic in the long term. Being a Dj is all about expression of an art form. I'm all about the technology aspect of it but staying true to the original techniques as I master my s...

The Kat in the trap started as a birthday CD as for this young lady a few years ago. At the time, I was still new to a lot things as a Dj including trap music. But this is a story kind of like Alice in Wonderland as I take my listeners down a rabbit hole of genres of music. Could you mix dubstep with trap music or some metal songs? Can you add in some electronica or trance to the equation? The tempo is relatively the same and you add in harmonic mixing and a good story, we have a revised version...

In the month of August, I'm going to bring you a few parts of my set from Streetcar Takeover in Indianapolis, an event hosted at Twin Peaks and sponsored by Folds of Honor.

Take a listen as I take you on another journey with music, and be sure to check me out 5 days a week on Flash 107.6 FM Columbus (link below) bringing you the latest and greatest in Hip Hop and R&B. Once again as always, thank you for your support!...

So here we are. 2 episodes left in Season 3 of The Tuesday Podcast, a show I created that documents the growth of my skill set as a Dj. A few weeks ago we were live from Sub Zero Vodka Bar in St. Louis (Shoutout to Dj Greasy), this week we are live from Revel Nightclub located in downtown Indianapolis (shoutout to Cadillac G). Here's some things to look for in the mix, the importance of a good playlist to keep the dance floor rocking and the fast tempo change over the set. It's very important to...

This is my finale set from Indy 500 Weekend at Dancers Showclub this year. I decided to mix a little bit of various genres for my diverse crowd I have. That's what it's about, taking your crowd on a journey through music while telling a story. As time goes on, I try to push more creativity through my shows, whether it be this one or my WCW Series or my Radio work. I'd like to thank my listeners and followers for their consistent support. Be sure to tune in to some of my radio shows as I have all...

Summer Sampler Vol 4 is a love story. When you listen to it you'll think it's about a woman but it has to do about my growing relationship with music. 3 years ago today, I began recording my first mixes, they aren't great but when you compare them to this mix you'll see my growth. My annual EDM classic has now become a measuring stick charting my growth. Shout out to Maddjazz from chi-town making an appearance on this mix from his new EP Freeform. This is the first Mixcloud Select Exclusive to b...

Tonight's episode of Sunday Vibes is Part 3 of 4 of my Indy 500 set on race Sunday. This time I took an EDM approach to the wheels of steel while mixing in some classics the crowd recognizes. I like posting my live sets to show the variety of music that I play at my club. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't as you will see in future shows that I upload. As a Dj, if you want to successful on a global level, you have to be willing to take risks with music, both in a live setting and the st...

Today's mix is a continuance of last Saturday's performance at Dancers Showclub, a set that did go over well with the crowd. I almost always have success with my crowd when I play house music the past few years. There's a lot of elements from every genre that can be interpreted. I think the beauty of things is that some record pools do remixes of popular rock, hip hop and r&b songs and it's easy to keep people hype. I love posting live performances (mistakes and all) to give people an inside...

Summer Sampler was my first mixtape ever produced as a worldwide release. That sounds so funny to me to say 3 years later. I've learned a lot since then producing and mixing well over 300 mixes on both Mixcloud and Podomatic. My first mix was done using Mixmiester putting the tracks together on a tempo curve. I didn't go the way I wanted but I learned a lot from my first mix. This warmup set that I recorded at Dancers Showbclub using Phase DJ. Phase is something that replaces turntable needles w...

The summertime is always productive for me. Starting next month, I will be adding another mix show to Flash 107.6 FM Columbus called Flash Forward. It will replace Old School Hour on Fridays at 8pm EST and Old School will move to Thursday Nights at the same time slot. I'm working towards pushing radio play a lot more. WCW Radio will be an ongoing weekly thing with new episodes Wednesdays at 8pm and older episodes throughout the day. I'm currently in the middle of several projects for the summert...

Last week on Mixtape Monday I brought you a drum n bass live from a golf course. Yes, a golf course! Every year I do a charity golf outing with Folds of Honor and I perform a set from the first tee box. It's very interesting yet fun considering I'm a golfer and a golf course is the last place you'd think to hear loud music. Anyways, I put together an EDM set for this weeks 765 Podcast which went over well with the participants. Music is truly universal and I hope you enjoy this mix and thank you...

First things first ladies and gentlemen, Shoutout to Dj Greasy from St. Louis. He spins every Thursday Night at Sub Zero Vodka bar so you should definitely check him out (instagram link below). I hopped on the deck for about 40 minutes or so last week and did some editing of the mix but putting two sections together of my impromptu set. This mix is very reminiscent of some of my set that I did in Manila, Philippines last November. The vibe of this bar is absolutely amazing it is fun to see peopl...

The Indianapolis 500 is a weekend I've Dj'd many times. The past few years have been a little different after learning how to mix tracks on a continual basis. In the past, a majority of my sets have been primarily rock due to the crowd base during this event. This year I decided to mix it up and record a few of my sets to give listeners a peak into what I play. Last week and the next two weeks on Sunday Vibes are sets I recorded on Race Sunday. Take a listen and let me take you on a different jo...

The Tuesday Podcast is a mix show about the elevation of my skill set as a Dj. I started with a controller, worked my way to CDJs and then to Turntables. It's a process. Now I'm Djing with with no needles thanks to Phase. I'd like to say that I love Phase and will continue to use it in my sets. The pitch adjustment is off somewhat but it's workable. I did this mix with one headphone working and it goes to show your ears play a role in mixing big time. Having a laptop to Dj with is cool but your ...

This month on Sunday Vibes, we take an inside look at my Sunday nights at Dancers Showclub. The four sets I did were during the Indianapolis 500, one of our busiest weekends of the year. Fresh from the Pacific northwest and celebrating my 40th birthday, I had a few ideas in my head for sets for the weekend. I like posting content for my followers/fans weekly as I come up with ideas and get more familiar with my gear. Take a listen and if you like what you hear, please share !!! Once again, thank...

Tech House Takeover is a genesis if you will or elevation with myself and house music. This set is inspired by the very birthplace of house music, Chicago. I decided to do this mix on Turntables and more experimenting with the crossfader. This summer I will be re releasing some of first few projects on CD and on more platforms. I think as a Dj, the music you put together in a mix is an expression of yourself in many ways. Take a look at the links below and be sure to follow some of my other plat...

Leanne loves a wide variety of music, so I decided to put something together that covers a lot of ground in a 60 minute setting. The WCW series isn't just about music but it's about people who support my brand as a Dj. As a thank you, I like to put together a playlist of music with a few suggestions of the WCW's tastes in Music. This mix is both old school and new school so take a listen and feel free to share and repost! And once again thank you for your support! https://tunein.com/radio/Flash1...

This a mix I put together while I was in Seattle, Washington for the Djcity linkup last week. Traveling and recording mixes is always fun to me because I have limited space and don't carry my normal setup. I used my Denon Dj MC6000Mk2 to record tonight's mix, which is the one I traveled with in the Philippines last November. Be sure to check out some other mixes I did in the Pacific Northwest including my birthday mix, #starkleavesclues vol. 3. And once again thank you for your support !!! https...

Tonight's episode of The 765 Podcast comes to you from the Pacific Northwest. Last week I attended the Djcity in Seattle Washington and decided to searching for a few clubs in the area that are of interest to me. This past weekend was Indy 500 in my hometown and I did a few sets for my mix shows as an example of what I would play but a glimpse of a newer way to play club music.

We're at the halfway point of Season 3 of the Tuesday Podcast and I thought I would try something different, some Drum 'N' Bass on Turntables. I've been working with the crossfader on my Pioneer DJM S9 the past few mixes, and avoiding the habit of scratching in my transitions. This requires great hand eye coordination and hand speed. This genre of music is a lot more complexed than most but I thought the mix went smoothly. Fast paced music is something that fascinates me, much like Trance (which...

Last week on the Tuesday Podcast, I put together a Chicago inspired Tech House set based on my many visits to the windy city. Today we travel a little further west with an impromptu set based on the Nightlife in Seattle, Washington. If you were a Dj, and you were given a 60 minute time frame to put together a set, what would you play? This happened to me in Manila, Philippines back in November. My trip around the world changed how I Dj and look at music. One thing for sure music is universal, an...

One of the things that I try to implement in this particular mixshow is blending old school with new school. Indie Dance and Nu-Disco are some of my favorite newer genres not only because they blend well with house but they fit well with music from the 1970's and 1980's. It's all about the "vibe". Funk, Soul, Hip Hop, deep house, soulful house. Let me take you on a journey tonight with some tunes and once again thank you for your support !!! https://tunein.com/radio/Flash1076-s296831/ https://tu...

Before I started The Tuesday Podcast a few years ago, I had a lot of ideas for shows. An all 80's mix was one of them, which lead to Old School Hour on Flash 107.6 FM Columbus. This is another mix I did at Dancers Showclub, when I first purchased my Pioneer DJM S9 mixer to go along with my PLX 1000 turntables. The transitions are totally different than my current mixes from but you can hear the progress. Take a listen as I take you through my mind with some 80's tunes that you are familiar with....

We are back again with another episode of The 765 Podcast! I've brought you some house music the last few weeks but I wanted to dig through my crates and test out some newer hip-hop. I have two shows on the radio that are Hip Hop oriented, Old School Monday and Cutoff Jamz on Flash 107.6 FM Columbus. So with my personal shows (765 Podcast, Sunday Vibes, and Mixtape Monday) I tend to be a little more eclectic. Take a listen and be sure to check out the links below, and thank you for your support ...

The Tuesday Podcast is a show I designed to document the growth of my skillset as a DJ. In addition to that, I try various types of Dj gear that I've purchased or borrowed from another Dj to learn. However, every show is not perfect but more like an exercise of my thought process. Today's mix is a Chicago Inspired Tech House set that I put together on the fly. I threw in a few EDM remixes of artist YG just because but this mix is a 90% Tech House. I hope you enjoy what i've put together and once...
