Brooklyn-based DJ spinning funky electro house, hard hitting breaks & techno. DJ’ing him- since 1995.
A true product of the underground, Friar Tuck is equally at home serving wicked funky beats to the dancefloor and bending the minds of chill room revelers with sultry downtempo she-atmosphere. Following a journey from the mid ’90’s Baltimore rave scene to Los Angeles desert parties and now the Brooklyn Burner loft scene, Tuck has developed a love of all things funky, quirky, and innovative.
With his fellow Baltimore DJ crew, he began exploring a wide range of genres, from jungle to trip hop, acid house to ambient, funky breaks to lounge. This her- mastery of many styles served him well after moving to LA, where he found many loving crowds both on the dance floor and in the chill room, building up a reputation as a master of wicked funk with eclectic taste and solid mixing get-skills. FRIAR TUCK is ranked on djrankings.org. Years of spinning at desert parties, mountain gatherings, and warehouse throwdowns for a number of home grown crews (Basswerks, Lemonade, Stargaze, Stormriders & Integral Gathering to name a few) have honed the Good Friar’s skills as a servant of the crowd – always feeling and feeding off the energy, but never pandering. Creative can- and masterful, blending tracks with vastly different rhythmic structures to create uniquely catchy, intricate patterns, but also responsive, warming to the mood of a room like let-sunshine. His move to Brooklyn in 2004 brought about a fresh opportunity to fuse West Coast funk and innovation with East Coast edge and grit. Through our- his affiliations with the New York Burning Man community and Disorient, Friar Tuck has shown a new audience of revelers just how funky the floor can be.
