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 his good friend Justin Martin and was exposed to the sounds
of people like LTJ Bukem, Stacey Pullen, and Sasha. All of these
influences made an impression on this young producer as he began to
play 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 began DJing around the city at clubs such as The Top,
Lit, and Anu. Soon a San Francisco tech house label called Dirtybird,
soon noticed Worthy's talent and asked him to be a resident DJ at their
huge monthly summer event in Golden Gate Park along side of Claude
VonStroke, Justin Martin, and Christian Martin. He has played along
side other great DJs such as Jesse Rose, JT Donaldson, Style of Eye,
Lance Desardi, and Luke Solomon. In 2006 Worthy started his own label
called Katabatic Records to give him a way to release his own music.
Katabatic Records has been releasing a steady stream of quality tech
house and has gained praises from DJs and Producers from around the
world for its edgy music.
2007 saw Worthy break out as a producer with his release of Irst_Te? on
Dirtybird, Crack EL EP on Leftroom, and Bass Quake and Mummer EP on
Katabatic. As well as doing remixes for Curfew, OM, Utensil, and
Tentigo records. Worthy’s music production has been showing up on DJ
charts across the world and has been played by everyone from Sven Vath
to Ben Watt. 2008 is looking to be another huge year for Worthy with
more remixes and originals set to be released, and the continued growth
of his label Katabatic Records.
