DJ Driscol
My name is Matt, and I am a 23 year old film student at the University of Kansas. I live in an apartment, and I love making beats, remixing songs, and blending music together with my turntables and CDJs (beatmatching)SL. I got my first pair of tables and mixer when I was 16. I'm quite experienced and I am open to nearly all genres of music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I occasionally play at bars and clubs and parties. I love it. Special moments, yes. Whenever anyone approaches me to tell me how good of a job I'm doing or asks what song I am playing because they love it so much. Favorite moments though are when girls like making out with me from behind the decks ;*
