Perfect! I came in looking for a DJing mentor, and within the first few minutes of speaking with Justin, I knew he was exactly what I was looking for. After discussing my goals, Justin also offered to mentor me in music production, which made the experience even more valuable.

Perfect! Justin was exactly what I was looking for: a solid expert with proportionate patience and gentle instruction suited to the absolute beginner that I am. I think anyone getting into any craft relies upon what their first step does and resonates within them, and I left my introductory chat with Justin feeling motivated and confident as hell for the road ahead. Definitely recommend Justin for anyone that is looking to get into DJing.

Justin has 30 years of experience crossing over the boundaries of DJ music and technical platforms for music sharing. His notable background includes helping to found an run a collective of DJ artists that have performed in Chicago for years. Though he is less involved, "Ill Measures" is still a known entity in Chicago. He also worked as a performer with a noted contemporary composer when he was Artist in Residence for the Chicago Symphony and The Kennedy Center in DC. He continues to work with this same composer to develop and sponsor a series in the San Francisco area that produces four events a year of combined classical and electronic instrumentation. However, his most important quality for this work is that he is an exceptional teacher with the skills and patience to nurture the evolving interest of people who are exploring electronic music for both personal and professional interests.

I am Justin's mother. I have seen him tech often. He helps me with computer problems and is very patient. He is the IT person for my teaching organizations. My partners rave about how they are able to learn when he explains complicated things to them. I've seen him patiently help a young person learn to use power tools. He's been a DJ for 30 years so I'm sure he can use his teaching skills well.

Find out more about Justin

1) When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?
I still remember the first time hearing Herbie Hancock "Rockitt" featuring NYC DJ DXT on DJ scratching duty. Not only was the music a bold future vision of drum beats and synth texture but the percussive DJ work was an incredible addition. Seeing the music video for this song only solidified my fascination. Through the years the role of the DJ in a club/party or backbone of classic hiphop was a huge inspiration.
2) Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
I have a deep passion for classic (golden era) hip-hop including artists like A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul up to 1999's Mos Def album Black on Both Sides. A mix of that music is often on background. more recently works by Detroit techno electro geniuses Drexcyia, ambient and elexctronic wizardry from ApheX Twin as well as minimalist piano works by composer Philip Glass (Metamorphosis suites) are solid favorites
3) Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
The most difficult challenge for a DJ is playing an unfamiliar room when the preferences do not neatly align with your personal tastes. Many will never find themselves in this situation but a lot of djs who play a wide range of venues will eventually encounter this.
4) What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
In my world i would say DJing is easy to learn but difficult to become a master of. There is always another level we can push ourselves to in the aim of perfecting the inperfectable! Beyond djing i would say building a compelling live electronic performance is exceedingly difficult but an incredible rush when done well!
5) What are your keys to success?
Find interesting "stories" to tell selecting music from the overwhelming sea of what's available, explore/practice playing this music within a given narrative, find like-minded people in my area to collaborate and build with (create my own opportunities).
6) Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
7) Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
As a young DJ moving back home to Chicago after college i was a tiny fish in a huge pond. Securing any bookings was very difficult for me in spite of my personal feeling about my capabilities at the time. Faced with this challenge I resolved to build my own promotions with friends and over time was able to build success organically through our own good shows.
8) What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
I have personal and professional experience djing a huge amount of varied electronic dance music as well ambient and rhythm oriented music like hiphop, funk, soul and latin jazz. To that end I am comfortable working with DJs interested in an even wider range of music. I am patient with new students, really working hard to meet them where they are. I have lots of personal experience navigating my own dj practice in a highly competitive environment including all aspects of DJ life including event production and promotion as well as electronic music production and distribution.
