Bio - Special S aka Dj Moe-Tee (Sacha Abadi)
as in, "...would you lOike sum mo'tea?"
Music has always been a part of my life. Most of my family have somewhat of a musical background. I was a breaker at 9 years old with the SBS crew, and was turned on to the hip-hop way of life by Herbie Hancock's Rock it. By 14, I was scratching on my friends turntable using Pump up the Volume by Mars. While being a little prep, with a hint of hip-hopism, I always had that 4/4 time signature in me. Wrote my first rhyme at 15 years old dedicated to my ex, dissing her for dumping me for my best friend.
All the real fun began in my garage in VSL-Montreal-Quebec-Canada with my boy Chris Vaughan (lead & rhythm guitar), and Steve Davis (rhythm guitar and vocals), and as such we where, The Skanks, 1990 - To this day we all somehow find the time to jam it up. Meanwhile, my younger brother, Derrick Abadi (Dj symmetry) was turned on to Jungle n Drum n bass partly because of the loud drumming in the garage, which in turn turned me on to the DnB/Jungle sound. I always loved dance hall, and to me it seemed like the natural next level to its respective sound. Several years later as we both Derrick and I got into computers, he brought to my attention a software called Cakewalk. The magic of sequencing and non destructive editing. And that's where our foundation begun as to making beats and later on full "chooon" arrangements.
Almost 10 years later Steve Davis and I launched a internet based radio show named the420show.net. From Rock to metal, folk to hip-hop, we where pretty much like our Montreal's CHOM 97.7 FM, but with a slight twist. Thanks to Steve Davis aka Spanky D, I began to develop my own hosting/Mc skills which has lead me to be where
I am today. The 420 show is now fully geared towards DnB and Jungle due to the fact that I was invited to join and direct along with Marc Dancereau aka Dj Bass-Ic the DnB chanel over at www.techno.fm by Gilles Mogeon aka Dj Doc Funk. Thanks to Dr.Gonzo from Scotland & one of Montreal's DnB pioneers Nitrous. We now host, and spin Dj & Produceur NITROUS and I as well as Dj Locomotive a very opened yet complete Jungle/DnB show called "the420show" every Wednesday nights from 8pm to 11pm - for the direct audio link hit http://dnb.techno.fm Thanks to both Dj Kensai & Nitrous I was thrown in the mix !! And by finally stepping up on my own deck.. i defined myself as Dj Moe-Tee, as in "would you lOike sum mo'tea" :P
Dj Nitrous n I have launched a couple of tracks which then lead to launching http://www.indajunglerecordings.com - Online MP3 shop where anyone with any production skills could send in their track to then have 'em up for sale. Recently I've been added to Montreals's Neurotik Sound System Crew bringing a DnB feel to a full Hard-tech crew! It's now my life to be living out the true meaning of "Sound system" Having the chance to bring OUR sound to the people via free outdoor parties. (in summer) Hanging out with these cat has pushed up my production skills for we're all into producing n' spinning. I'd like to take this chance to big up Nitrous, Moebius for all his support and teachings. And techno.fm for giving me the highway to open up the motors!! More to come!
One love!!
