DJ Kwik started mixing & DJing in Chicago during the birth of house music in the early '80's. He DJ'd alongside Chicago's infamous DJ Gene Hunt in his basement, at house parties and quite a few local (Chicago Westside) venues. DJ Kwik’s style goes back to his Chicago roots (Frankie Knuckles, Farley "JackMaster" Funk, Kenny "Jammin" Jason & the Hot Mix 5, Steve "Silk" Hurley) but also his time spent DJing in Panama. (The Latin House sound!!) He is also inspired by some European House.

He has used the name, “DJ Kwik” since his days in Panama. Regularly playing for a local radio station, “Patatus”, the station manager wanted her DJs to have catchy names and provided him with that name. He stuck with it in part because he tends to play that way – quickly transitioning between tracks.

DJ Kwik has played at too many house/basement parties to remember but his best time was his residency at "Dreams" Discotheque/dance club, and the radio station in Panama City, (Republic of) Panama.

Now in Okinawa, DJ Kwik is contemplating starting a local House Music scene. We'll see how that goes...

As DJ Kwik's music roots go back to the days when there was only house music (vs. today's sub-genre of Deep, Electro, Tech-House, etc.), his mixes sometimes cross-genres. He most enjoys tracks that ignites & keeps the dance-floor packed - keepin the crowd going. He also likes to re-mix tracks and likes making (& listening to) long, smooth, almost seamless track transitions.
