Since starting at the age of 14, DJ Trey has always dug the roots of R&B and Hip-Hop, using his Uncle's vinyl records! Respecting where music has come from and how it got to where it is now. Diversely playing in styles of R&B, Hip-Hop, Soul and Funk (while dabbling in Disco, Jazz, Reggae and House). With a style that gives the crowd some of what they love, some of what they used to love and some of what they should love. Entertaining and enlightening. Engaging in the better of the unknown, he likes to focus more on what he believes, people should be listening too- as opposed to what they 'think' they want to listen too.

DJ GIAN ARPINO laid down this dope early House & Garage mix back in 1996. Experimental house sounds throughout this mix which won MUZIK magazines coveted bedroom bedlam mixtape of the month competition sometime in 1996. Needless to say I felt very proud receiving the call and appearing in the next months edition as a very young man.

Another archive moment, GIAN ARPINO laid down this classic house mix from back in 1999.
