Podcast Summary
Throwing out the rules, unconfined by genres and with uncompromising taste. Kena's mixes feature elements of house, electro, techno, trance and disco. Designed to do one thing - make you groove. Try them on...they are sure to fit nicely. Heard in 40+ countries from every corner of the globe. 'The Sparkle Sessions' are on.
Kena has always been an avid follower of dance music. Picking up mixing after listening to local underground radio shows and syndicated mix shows like "The Hot Mix." Starting over 20 years ago with just two CD's players and a Radio Shack 4 channel mixer he self taught himself how to mix. Eventually able to upgrade to two direct drive turntables and a proper mixer he spent countless hours mixing and working on the craft. Taking in everything he heard and never limiting himself to any particular genre or style. Kena is heavily influenced by DJ's like Joey Beltram, Carl Cox, Richard Vission, Bad Boy Bill, David Morales and Danny Tenaglia, just to name a few. Raves were his home, after-hours clubs were his school, and Deejays become his teachers. Kena and his long time best friend were becoming increasingly frustrated with the events being thrown, so they decided to take it upon themselves to see if they could do better. Together they founded the legendary Good Beat Productions in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Over the course of 4 years, Good Beat Productions threw some of the largest, most infamous and fabulous parties in New Mexico's history. In addition to becoming large scale event producers, Kena established himself as a premier New Mexico Deejay in his own right. Easily putting together house, techno, electro and trance...Kena's tastes run diverse and deep. Often requiring no less that three turntables to produce his sound. If it sounds good then it can get played. Just as comfortable playing at a nightclub, rave, after-party, or pool party. Kena doesn't believe in labels. As long as there are people who want to dance and shake their asses, the good beats are ready. Eventually opening up Plump Records in Albuquerque, NM, a store that became synonymous for having the most current and diverse selection of underground music for DJ's, fans and collectors. As their opportunities grew and the scale of the operation reached it's pinnacle, Kena knew when it was time to move on. With heavy hearts, Good Beat and all it's affiliated endeavors ended their run as a production company and without a proper buyer who could carry on their vision for the store, they opted to close Plump. Kena has played alongside internationally known talent such as Lisa Lashes, Markus Schulz, DJ Hardware, Steve Loria, Richard Vission, Onionz, DJ Irene, DAVE the Drummer, Commander Tom, Vinylgroover, Micro, John Debo, Mike Dearborn, Ron D Core, Miss Lady Kier, Lars, Polywog, Kenneth Graham, Dave Trance, Gary Menichiello, Avenue D and many others. Having relocated to San Diego, CA Kena's ear is still firmly planted on the sickest, dopiest, fattest, chunkiest and nastiest grooves he can get his hands on. His relentless pursuit to bring the finest dance music from the globe results in an eclectic yet seamless style. Hope you enjoy these mixes as much as Kena has making them! Listen, download, enjoy and share!
