Mar 12: DISORIENTAL (Calgary) Invades GET UP GET DOWN
DISORIENTAL (Calgary)
With a won ton stuck on a chopstick in one hand and serato in the other, Disoriental was born yesterday and began djing and opening for acts like Superstar Dj Aoki, Tiesto, and many more high profile celebrities. Really? With some other bios you would think the reader was the one conceived last night. No, Disoriental (Jon Chung) comes from humble beginnings watching Goonies on the family’s betamax, chilling, growing, eating rice. Disoriental’s real dj career began when he was introduced to turntables by his neighborhood friend. Hooked like cooked crack so began his journey into the world of djing. Along the way Disoriental lived out his calling as an aZn scratch nerd calling, winning a few DMC and local battles, making a few successful mixtapes (featured in URB, Mixwell), immersing himself in spinal research, as well as growing facial hair (the latter taking several years). He learned the in and out, and the in and outs of the industry, playing alongside a bunch of really good djs, travelling here and there and generally being his Chinese parents nightmare (Shout outs to So-Real crew, Randy Jackson thank you). Lately, technology and the interwebs have allowed Disoriental to branch out even more into the world of music production. His edits and remixes have appeared on the likes of playlists from local heroes Smalltown DJs and Eh Team Djs’ Pump, to Cosmo Baker and Dj Eleven from the Rub, all the way to Ali B of Fabric UK. He’s honed his party skills at numerous successful residencies around town as well as winning the title of “Calgary’s Best Party Rocker” during the Red Bull 3-Style competition. Today when hes not changing his dogs diapers or sitting at his desk at school watching hood videos, Disoriental is still setting booty traps, entertaining people with iron chef – like skills combined with the grandoise of the Beijing olympics. Feel the magic.
