Phillip Allen is an introverted music geek turned DJ that spends his days working in Information Technology. Memphis, Tennessee is his hometown, so he is a connoisseur of barbecued meats and Soul Music. He has a passion for craft beer, obscure music, foreign films, manga, running, fashion, and running fashionably late. In a not so distant past he ran several recurring DJ events in Chattanooga, TN dedicated to Global music culture. He likes to speak in third person.

One guy I have the utmost blerd respect for is Jace Clayton aka DJ /rupture. He’s a seriously brilliant DJ/artist/writer living in New York. I had the opportunity of booking him for an event and his knowledge of culture and music blew me away.
Star Trek Communicators, Echolocation, and Craigslist ‘Missed Connections’. Seriously though, social media hubs like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are great for staying connected. Occasionally I go low-tech with phone calls.
No particular moment, well I’ll say a series of moments called “High School”.

One day I’d like to be a globetrotting DJ/music writer. Right now I’m just reading and learning so I can be prepared for whatever opportunities present themselves.
Adam Harper's book "Infinite Music: Imagining The Next Millennium of Human Music Making". Even the title blows your mind.
Toure. His 2011 book “Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness” should be required reading for all blerds and open minded people.
As Toure said in “Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness” be rooted in but not defined by your blackness.
