about me
I love people. I hate the sun (well, I suppose I don't hate the player, I hate the game). I love the moon. I hate naysayers. I love my ivory tower, but I hate what it looks like from the outside. I love to read. I love to write. I love film. I love people that are capable of being driven without running over people in their way (to completely abuse a metaphor).

----------------------------
THANK YOU to all of you who came out and supported Opulent Temple on a weekend that was simply jam-packed with events.

His friends said that he was been sick all day long with food poisoning or the flu, and they h... read more

Groovers and Shakers,

This week
---------
I'd been on the verge of going pro-active about trying to play a
Bassdrop when something that Dex could not have Strategikally foreseen,
came to bear on his behalf. The gang at Strategik is taking over
Bassdrop for a month, and Robb Green and I will be going head-to-head in
a metaphorical cage match... read more

Groovers and Shakers,

Just a quick note about two things:

1. I didn't highlight when I was playing at the Opel madness on Saturday. My set is 11PM to 12:15 in the main room, and since this the buzz on this party is great, and the headliners are high-energy, I'll bringing energy of my own in the form of slamming electro and breaks, right out of the gate. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy. For a night.

2. My Opel-mate Syd Gris was kind enough to lend me the reins for the f... read more

* Wrap up: Precompression and lack of Booty
* This weekend: OPEL's RETURN TO MISSION ROCK

Groovers and Shakers,

WRAP UP

For some reason, the lounge was rescinded by Temple at the last minute and repurposed. Luckily, my Pronoia-mate Raydeus got to move upstairs and strut some sexy electro to a very receptive crowd. The Splitloop guys were very cool, and after dancing at Precompression, Moose (as in, "I <heart> my Moose") met up with... read more

Testimonial ReinDex

November 26, 2007
Dirk Diggler, er.. I mean, Dex Stakker, is one of those rare few with an infectious positive attitude that seems unaffected by drama in any category. If you see this man, do not mistake him for a porn star that's just lookin to get his. This man wants to make sure you gets yours too :)

I love no attitiude DJs !!!

The ever impressing Dex! He is one of the coolest cats I know. This is the man that introduced me to breaks, along with his supafly wifey, and for that he will always have a place in my heart. I have never met anyone who looked hotter in an orange jumpsuit, and yet also kinda disturbing. He is a man that is genuine, you never have to guess about what he is thinking cause he is always straight up with you. I am in complete awe of his passion and knowledge of cinema. I was stoked to be there for his debut, and I now feel pretty cool cause I can honestly say "I knew him when he was just 'Jason'." He has an amazing soul that I swear you can feel when he spins! The way that he makes one of my best friends light up with love is something any woman would kill for from their man! Dex is truly an amazing spirit, and I am honored to call him a friend!
November 14, 2006
So it seems kinda weird for me to be writing about him, but Dex is the most amazing person I know. And I mean that. I've never known anyone who can befriend people so quickly, and so sincerely. For a guy who shuns manual labor, he's the hardest working, most dedicated person I've ever encountered. He's disturbingly intelligent and quick witted... which is both impressive and infuriating at the same time. But, when he's done verbally running you in circles, he gives the best hugs EVER.
November 1, 2006
Dex Stakker, despite having a porn-star like name, is a sweetheart. A total and utter sweetheart, dressed eternally in an orange MOOP patrol outfit. Because this is what this man does: work hard, play hard, spin hard, and of course, MOOP hard. I am proud that he is a member of my OT family. And he's sonically stakked too of course.
