Currently residing in San Francisco, DJ Worthy grew up around Washington DC in the early days of Deep Dish, Scott Henry and
the early American rave scene. In the late 90's after moving to New York City, Worthy met good friend Justin Martin who
exposed him to the sounds of people like LTJ Bukem, Stacey Pullen, and Sasha. These influences made an impression on this
young producer as he began to experiment with records of all genres; from hip hop to breaks to techno and drum n bass.
In 2001 Worthy set up his studio in San Francisco and began producing house music. He DJed around the city at clubs such as
The Top, Lit, and Anu. Soon a San Francisco tech house label called Dirtybird noticed Worthy's talent and invited him to be
a resident at their huge monthly summer event in Golden Gate Park along side Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin, and Christian
Martin. He has shared the decks with other great DJs such as Jesse Rose, JT Donaldson, Lance Desardi, and Luke Solomon.
In 2006 Worthy started his own label, Katabatic Records, as a way to showcase his music on his own terms. Katabatic Records
has been releasing a steady stream of quality tech house and has gained praises for its edgy music.
2007 is looking to be a break out year for Worthy. Two releases are coming out on Dirtybird Records including an ep and a remix
of Claude VonStroke’s “The Whistler”. As well as an ep on Matt Tolfrey’s label Leftroom Limited and releases on Katabatic Records.
If you haven’t heard, you will soon know that he is worthy.
