Is he worthy?
Currently residing in San Francisco, DJ Worthy
grew up around Washington DC in the early days of
Deep Dish, Scott Henry and the early American rave
scene. In the late 90's after moving to New York
City, Worthy met his good friend Justin Martin and
was exposed to the sounds of people like LTJ
Bukem, Stacey Pullen, and Sasha. All of these
influences made an impression on this young
producer as he began to play records of all genres
from hip hop to breaks to techno and drum n bass.
In 2001 Worthy set up his studio in San Francisco
and began producing house music. He began DJing
around the city at clubs such as The Top, Lit, and
Anu. Soon a San Francisco tech house label called
Dirtybird, soon noticed Worthy's talent and asked
him to be a resident DJ at their huge monthly
summer event in Golden Gate Park along side of
Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin, and Christian
Martin. He has played along side other great DJs
such as Jesse Rose, JT Donaldson, Lance Desardi,
and Luke Solomon. In 2006 Worthy started his own
label called Katabatic Records to give him a way
to release his own music. Katabatic Records has
been releasing a steady stream of quality tech
house and has gaining praises for its edgy music.
2007 is looking to be a break out year for Worthy
with two releases coming out on dirtybird
including a remix of Claude VonStroke’s “The
Whistler” and an ep on Matt Tolfrey’s label
Leftroom Limited. Along with new releases on his
label Katabatic Records with remixes from Alland
Byallo and Christian Martin. If you have not heard
of Worthy then you will soon know that he is worthy.
