Hi I am Ayres Haxton. I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn with my wife Veronika (pictured left). I dj for a living. When I am not djing I enjoy riding my bike, going to restaurants, watching movies and picking pumpkins. I was introduced to this message board by Cosmo around three years ago and have a lot of friends in the real world who are also on the board. I am also on My.Space.

<<<<<<< I look like this.


If you are new or even just new-ish, introduce yourself, show us what you look like and tell us what brings you here.

Ohh I love these.

My name is Steve. I live in Buffalo, New York. I used to DJ a lot but now I am concentrating on running my clothing store and website. I have a dog, enjoy movies and recently have taken up smoking weed semi-ironically. I also like rap music, technology and women's body parts.

I gradually worked my way onto the board about two years ago as a few of my friends were already involved. I have met, hungout and slept with a lot of the people on here.

I am 26 years old.

Hi, I'm Andrew "Bird Peterson" Hoke. I'm 23 and I live in Austin, TX with my girl, Jessica. I produce and DJ sometimes, but mainly do art and film I also car wash attendant at the newspaper and work at a thai food restaraunt. I joined this board when Knuckstable and Dayta told me about it. I've made a lot of friends here, but I've never met any of them. I also spend WAY TOO MUCH FUCKING TIME on my comp. I'm a night owl and can't sleep ever. I take too much of the things said on this board too seriously. I may never meet but 2 of you cats, so it shouldn't really bother me ever. Thanks for all the knowledge on the Baltimore culture, it's quite interesting.

I also like folk music a lot. And I once found a 3 inch to quarter inch headphone connecter at Best Buy for Mike Jones.

Buy my album in November, please.


OH! And i like cats.
Bird

what it is, ayres!

i'm mel and i'm from austin, texas. like ayres, i dj for a living and i am a buyer for waterloo records. aside from all the dj'ing biz, i am a photographer, lover of good food, movies and baseball. i love my dog puck, who is 13 years old. my girlfriend inspires me everyday. the rub dudes are my fucking heroes...

...they are the reason why i got on this board.

this a picture of me and my buddy swede (i'm on the left).



here's a sample of my photography...









and a random one for good measure...

My name is Kristopher, DJ name: Capski. I am 21 years old and am a 7th grade English teacher on the North Shore of Oahu. I'm way too young to be a teacher, but here I am...waking up at 5:30 to get to school at 6:30 to let my kids chill in my room.

I most recently was living in the Bay and moved back to Hawaii for the school year. My girl, DJ Roza, still lives in the bay doing public health work and is blowing the fuck up DJ-wise. (Gigs at Milk and such).

I've met a handful of people on this board, and respect a shitload who I havent met in real life. Teachers, DJs, Lawmen, all them. I think this is the 4th board incarnation I've been on and it's been nuts the whole time.

I've been DJing for 8 years now and by the grace of some dope folks been getting gigs out here after some fun shit up in the bay.

After my 2 years of teaching are up i plan on trying to do more of this DJ thing and scoop up scraps that a friend doing A&R can throw my way.

ok. I'm chris am 33. Live in east london, my girl in the southwest. work @ a clothing company. been djing for 15 years.

discovered this board a few years ago searching for lil jon/YYT. was into m.i.a. and there seemed to be loads of posts about her so i kept checkin back. been a lurker til the board moved here.

I've met a few people from the board. every one, a scholar and a gentleman.

this website says i look like condoleeza.

hey all,

I'm Josh B out of San Francisco, CA. I'm also DJing for a good part of my income, when I'm not selling old records online or working my Thursday shift at the Groove Merchant on Haight st. Sounds pretty chill, but it's a pretty tough grind for us as I have a lovely lady and 2 kids along for the ride...as many of you know the Bay is not cheap living. I originally moved here from even more northern cali (Humboldt) in 1993 to skateboard and pursue art (legal and non)...and accidentally fell in love with mix and scratch DJing, and subsequently with my old love of record collecting.

My stepops was a crazy collector in the 80's and used to turn me on to lots of rap, punk, tons of reggae and acid rock back then; he had a big collection of lps and videos. He used to own a record store called Red Roach in the late 70's, before my mom met him. Anyways all that sparked my interest in seriously seeking out new music and I started collecting a lot as a mid teen. I had also played some instruments in elementary and high school, even did the State Honor band thing for trumpet.

I'm in a DJ crew called 4onefunk- along with Teeko, Max Kane & Mr B.
We have been doing turntable funk band(using isolated instrument sounds along with a live drummer) side projects like the Dollar Bin Quintet and 4onephonics (a collab with the local outfit Monophonics).

I guess I'm a :soulstrut migrant: as I found out about this site through friends over there. I know a handful of folks from this board in the real world. I like this place because people share a lot of cool stuff here and I like to find out about the different kinds of music people are making, feeling or digging up. The serato food is way cool too. I don't know anything about B-more, but I like it sometimes. I'm more of an old crusty west coast electro lovin kinda guy, haha.

Shit, i type too much when I ain't drinkin'.

I like: burritos, coffee, laying in the grass, on the grass


her's some 'art'





here's me playing the West Lake Gynasium, lol.



apparently when I was a child I wanted to be Tarzan:



here's my kids getting hyphy

hi, im brian and i live in hawaii. im 23 and have owned turntables for five years. i want to be a better dj and definitely work more on beats but im a very unmotivated individual. my friend la**en told me about her friend Blakkk Jesus having a beat on a certain ninja tune artist's album a few years back and i got into hollertronix through that. i like rap music and i like eating

Hello, my name is Michael Mahoney, I am 26 years old. On this board i am known as Forty Ounce Mike or a certified member of the BPP. I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. I now reside in Clinton Hill Brooklyn and work at a high end steakhouse in Manhattan. I live with 2 other dudes named Mike, they are from Hawaii and I know them through this board. I dont dj but i have alot of friends on here that do. I just like to party alot and have a good time, people know me for getting really hyphy at parties and occasionally spraying beer in fits of joy.

I have been around for about 5-6 incarnations of this board (+2 years?). I also have many, many real life friends that i have made from this board.

Here are some things i enjoy:
*dogs
*riding my bike/skateboard
*typography
*autumn
*traditional American tattoos

<----oh and thats usually me in my avatars.

Nice man.

Hey,
I'm Simon, 29 Used to live in Morroco, then in New-York (Murray Hill). I'm a basement DJ/bootlegger.
There's some of my unsucessfull attempts here.
I do mountain climbing, ski, juggling, longboard (Montreal is a mountain, so we can fucking riiiiip it here).
Oh And I can cook a mean apple/pineapple crumble pie.

I'm enjoying the single life too much at the hotel. And I don't think my night job would be too compatible with a girlfriend either a.t.m.

I joined here when I saw more and more posts from Discobell mentioning Fathertronix...
Not a big messageboard fan, but winter is coming up...

Here's my evolution from
kid:
(don't know why the pic is upside down.)


to me when I drank:



to me when I bowl:



There you go. Nice to read about you peeps.


*updated the profile to cut out the illegal part. holly shit. what was I thinking 3 years ago.)

My name is Sushant Xavier but I go by Shona. I'm 21 and I live in San Jose, CA where time stands still. I used to run a crappy little music blog where I "met" Capski and the kid Nels. It was called "Futurism Ain't Shit"

I make shitty beats on Reason, skateboard and drink profusely on the weekends. I just had an interview at Crate And Barrel--wish me luck. I want to be a journalist but certainly not an a&e writer. I don't really dig the idea of commenting on the work of others as a full time job. I'd rather do my own shit. I was originally planning on studying film as an undergrad like all daydreaming pot heads but I'll put that off till grad school.

Aside from sharing six degrees of separation fron Kris, I have met absolutely no one on this board save jabbering on endlessly to a very gracious Catchdubs at a recent Milk show and yelling some incoherent obscenities/compliments at Low Bee at the S'Ro show. I also remember seeing dorfmania at the same show and mutually geeking out about our URL brotherhood.

My favorite pornstars are Avena Lee (sans braces), Aria Giovanni and vintage Raylene footage.

Hello.

I'm Tim, I live in North West London. I'm 30, and I'm an IT/Web/Office Manager.

I found the site after buying the Hollertonix album which got me back into buying rap music after a bit of a hiatus. I've never met anyone from on here.

I'm into reading The Economist and drinking coffee in the sun and trying to get girls to sleep with me.

This is me (it's the only image I could find)

My name is Mike Marquez

I recently moved to Brooklyn from the 50th state. I work with Mike40oz at the steakhouse and I live with him and my other friend Mike as well. I got into Hollertronix by my good friend/roommate Mike. I shot photos for them when they came out to Hawaii about 2 years ago and have been a fan ever since.

My interests are:
photography (no digital only 4x5, 120, and 35)
sitting in bars
running tabs at clubs
and figuring out how to not get sick

this is my face

and some things I do (see what happens when other people install your work)

I am one of the many DJ Mike B's in the world... and I sometimes go by Dickie Greenleaf. I'm from LA and lived in NY from 96-03 holding down several ghetto residencies at the likes of Cheetah and NV (or Cheetah's and NV's if you will.)
Free music is the shit. I love it. I've been hearing about this forum forever and I finally took a look tonight and have been steady DLing for going on 3 hours. I liked it so much I registered... I DJ a bunch of nights out here in LA and throw a weekly Friday party called My Way at Monroe's Bar. We had Stretch Armstrong in the booth last week and he killed it... check out friendster/mywayfridays for the knowledge. When I make some new shit I'll throw it up on here... til then feel free to DL shit off my mypace page http://friendster.com/djmikeb and check my website which hasn't been updated in 9 months!!!http://www.chroniquemusic.com

my name is wes..
i live in columbus,ohio
i work at a record store, write for an alternative weekly, work for a diy rap label, and
enjoy the internet.
anything else i could list about myself i would prolly dislike if i saw someone list something similar unless they made a joke that i liked.
i am here to preserve the future of the internet even if it means dancing and partying to keep people interested in the internet.

mike b is the dude!

whatup ?

hi my name is radge and i am a 23 yr old male (yo where the ladies in this intro section)
ive been a radio dj since 99 and a club dj since 03. i'm not extremely good, but i am getting better every day.
i joined up with the board at the start of 2005 because i enjoyed the hollertronix mixes that i had heard after hearing the Blakkk Jesus mixes on beats in space and have been a part of it ever since, learning all that there is to learn about music from some great people.
i live in australia and do enjoy barbeques, lawn bowls, swimming, summer and a good meat tray raffle.

i, like mel and mike, am a photographer and am moving to sydney in december to pursue this career in the fashion industry.
here is a photo i took of a friends band for an australian fashion magazine.



you can hear their music at http://friendster.com/youngandrestlessau
theyre quite good

also, i have a photo blog walking on thin ice which i like quite a bit.

and this is jawntronix' favourite photo of me, probably because i am wearing no pants

Patrick. Came on the board a while back around the time that Casi G was doing that Icey Mike New Jersey dj beef thing. Just moved to Montreal from Vancuver to finish a degree. I don't dj but occasionally play records. Help run this record label (SLU) that puts out stuff that many of you would probably hate like Duchess Says, Channels 3x4, Dandi Wind, and Crystal Castles.

u heard of us
the murderous most shady
been on the low lately
the feds hate me.

yo! What up ayres and everyone else. My name is Erick, DJ name erock. I got onto this board after I heard Hollertronix on Never Scared. I hung out for like two months before I posted anything cause I was damn scared of some rejection, but at this point I've been around for quite a few incarnations of the board including the weird board we developed on friendster in replacement of the real board. I have met a few people from the board like ayres, Cos, Mike40Oz, Mike Famous, Caps, Jones, Catchdini, and Fina. I consider all of them awesome. Bbomb and Senari are awesome in Jawn Doe and I can only assume in real life, and when she posts, Trig is also dope. Despite the fact I havent met a whole bunch of people from the board, alot of them I would consider real good people and good friends (i.e. Stevie Kream, Kimble, CV, Bird, Knuckstable, Mike Robot). That is all. I am going to bed now. I will go to work hung over in 8 hours.

Peace y'all

Fuck the Cardinals...both St Louis and AZ

I'm Palmer. I proudly rep Portland, Oregon, though I was raised by hippies in Eugene. I've been DJing about 5 years, including a year of working at a really unimaginably terrible club. Right now I'm studying audio engineering at PSU, watching a lot of movies, and playing out as much as possible. I watched the last hollerboard for a while, but then it collapsed pretty soon after I started posting so I was hesitant to jump in again around here for fear of just being another youngin' bringing everything down. But I like the way things are going around here now, so what's up?

I'm Martin. I reside in Oslo, Norway. Been here since the last few months of the previous board. Used to lurk around for new shit and useful info on new shit, then decided to throw a few cents in every now and then because it's the right thing to do I guess. I dj (sometimes as DJ Hele Fitta F.A.C., sometimes as DJ Lada (hence the "l diddy")) regularly (semi-profesionally, if you like) in and around Oslo, and have been doing that for pretty much half my life. I am also 1/4 of Snuten (see the links in my sig). You probably don't know about us (although I gave you a CD in Oslo, ayres!) , but we've put out 2 albums plus a few 12"s (with remixes by people you might actually have heard of, like Lindström, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje) that I think are still in stock at TTL. I write music reviews (mostly hip hop) and more for a local mag. I also used to make beats and such, but currently retired. I love good music and good beverages almost as much as I love cunnillingus. These days preferably ghetto tech and beer. Sometimes Institubes and Fernet Branca. Or even some Harry Nilsson and semi-dry german white wine.

Me to the left, at WHut It Dew Oslo:

i'm gabe. 23yrs old born in bloomington, il but grew up in western ny state. in middle school, my family moved out to kansas and i've been hanging in this beautiful state for awhile now. i now live in kansas city, mo for the time being.

i graduated from KU (well, two more classes) this semester and i'm looking for jobs in writing/newspapers/magazines/lit/publishing etc so give me a job or car wash if you're in any of those fields. in a minute, i'll be heading back out to the east coast to look at grad schools.

when i'm not at work, i like to collect 80s new wave and college rock records, do a radio show on sundays, hang out my girl and my dog, write, read books, and take naps.

hi i'm max. ok, bye.

My name is Dave. I'm 32 and live in downtown Baltimore. I was born in Dundee Scotland and lived there until I was 17, I have a green card. I skate in the summer and board in the winter and will volunteer with either if the cause is right. I spin hip hop at 5 Seasons, Shorty's, Pramus.Com events and Sonar when needed and have been collecting vinyl and music in general since 89. My dad is a Mason and my mum lives in New Zealand and I haven't heard from her in 14 years. Not sure how I ended up on this board.

Hi everybody

This has really set my mind at ease, I was worried about a shortage of bearded white males around here.

What it Dew Martin! Saw you in the Vice Magazine!

Hi, my name's Matt. I'm only 27 (but my mind is older). My last name starts with the letters "Paz" and so a lot of people tend to call me that. I am a senior analyst in the business operations department of a large pharmaceutical firm. I live in the renowned and elegant Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City with my lovely wife Kate.

I started posting a couple hollerboards ago while I was in graduate school, and since that time have met an extraordinary collection of individuals from here, and found all of them to be as charming and happy-go-lucky as their online personas would suggest. I enjoy attending DJ-related functions around New York and look forward to extending my geographic partybase in the months to come. I still play and make beat-related music, but not as often as I'd like.

I grew up in the great state of Wisconsin, giving me the pleasure/burden of being a Green Bay Packer and Wisconsin Badger fan por vida. I lived in a tiny town outside of London, England for a few years in high school and attended university at a school called Oglethorpe in Atlanta, GA.

In my free time, you can usually catch me out socializing with my wife. We enjoy going out dancing, going to rock shows, attending sporting events, drinking wine, reading, and long-distance running. We are running the Dallas Marathon in December (her second, my first). This is what we look like when we are out socializing.



I could use a self-editor and have a tendency to "get cute" with language, but otherwise I'm a pretty good guy. Maybe even nice. If you see me in the club - holler. I'll be the one with the shiny head.

sup yall. my name is seth. im 27 and live in the phenomenally phenomenal u st. neighborhood of dc. stops along the way include boston, singapore, bangkok, and va. i love women, music, hot weather, and burritos in that order.

i dj in dc at a bunch of places. I play yall's shit from airhorns sometimes and am proud to admit doing it.

found the hollerboard about two years ago and lurked for a minute cause i hadnt been to a party, didnt know anybody cept through Lab reviews, and didnt really fux with message boards. Then i started doing online marketing during the day for entertainment clients where i fux with message boards non-stop.

props to urrs for this thread. props to joe and nick and everybody else for moderating. props to wes and mike and whoever for the bandwith. and props to everybody for the knowledge, love, and community up-keep.

Oh this is fun!

Hello, my name is Nick Veit, I am 20 years old and live in north Philadelphia. I was born in Livonia MI then moved to Portland OR where I lived untill about 5months ago. I too enjoy spinning records, I purchased my first set up 6 years ago, it was a $300 dj in a box deal, I had no intrest in mixing records, it was great, scratching and freestyling with my friends after school...goodtimes. I too like riding my bike and have been know'n to do so with a fine young swedish gentleman that also frequents this board. Speaking of the board, I have been on here for something around 2 years, made many friends and even met my beautiful girlfriend Amy on it. I do like that picture of radge in his underwear...like steve I smoke weed but unlike him their is no irony involved...Ayres I think I rember you having a nice road bike, I would love to get a NY bike tour from you sometime...Special thanks go out to Cosmo for being a great dude (if you dont know him off the internets, you just dont know him.)
