This week in The Armory DJ Influence of San Francisco’s Strategik collective is on the decks dropping one of his signature dark and dirty breaks sets. Press play and enjoy!

Influence started his piratical career in a time called Ye Olden School. Quickly rising through the ranks of deck swabbing, plank laying, wenching, & rumming; his golden years came to end upon the capture of his ship by a band of jolly rogers on the ship Strategik (they were good with a cannon, but not so much with spelling). Locked away in the ship's depths, every night he was told, "Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." All seemed lost, so he got into Djing, took over the ship, called himself Influence, and the rest was basically, history... basically.
