About DJ Clint - Owner and Operator
DJ Clint is a K.C. born resident who strives to live a sustainable life through balance of life and love. Recent experience includes working with the Stage Hands Union on concert and theater setup and teardown. Passion for outdoor activities provides time away to reflect and get a true perspective on life. Currently seeking a fusion of rock climbing and bouldering with live music.
DJ Clint began the journey into long sexy mixes in the mixtape days just before the new millennium. Imagining a better world like the ones we created weekly, the oldskool crew sought alternatives to building up more in this fragile world. We pondered existence by day and week as we worked, then danced the night and weekend away as a culturally mixed and diverse crowd to the most inclusive music created to date. Production crews brought the best in Trance, Progressive, Drum & Bass, and House Music. We traveled and promoted, ran club nights at a sushi restaurant and sake bar for years, and defined happiness along the way.
Time and passion led to a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, and the research in how to live as softly on Earth as possible took over. I married my 7th grade girlfriend Brook, a B.A. Theater major who became my lighting girl and track flipper. We learned how to grow food, hiked hundreds of miles, climbed incredible summits, and brought the kids along from four months of age. The turntables became only a tool for wedding reception DJ work, but that crowd really didn't understand music as DJ Clint did.
Strong roots never die. Enter LFK, Lawrence Fuxxing Kansas, the start of the Civil War as raiders entered Missouri to free slaves and burn buildings. John Brown led raids to infamy, then Lawrence was burned down in Quantrell's Raid and others. Bands and DJs stop here and skip Kansas City. A strong EDM scene was led by Cicada Rhythms. We saw Bassnectar pre-dubstep when he produced breaks.
We moved to LFK, 30min outside KC metro, to live among the few hippies in KS in a slower pace of life. Monthly DJ sets held at the Kaw Valley Public House started the tables turning again. Beginning with progressive or psychedelic rock records, DJ Clint transitions into more dance style music and ends the night banging some classic deep house records.
