While Packo's tunes of choice are mostly hip-hop, his musical foundation is rooted in 100 percent soul. This gives him appeal across genres and allows him to smoothly glide from one scene to another while leaving behind a wake of smoldering shoes.
Whether headlining at a Chinatown club, scratching over 90’s tribute instrumentals for live boom bap group, Sample, being knighted as the turntablist for Honolulu’s very own Kings of Spade, lending scratch sounds to MC’s Creed Chameleon, Angry Locals, L.A. native, Bambu (of Native Guns), or spinning beats alongside the legendary DJ Q-Bert, Packo gives it up, pouring all his passion into each endeavor, always working to raise the bar higher and higher. His deep love of music is shown through not only his actions but also his words. On his blog, he writes of his mixtapes (
Aquadust I and
Aquadust II), "What attracts me so, is the character of sound, dented and tormented into a cataclysmic bundle of joy." For this DJ, music is clearly not a hobby but rather a guiding force, something that he perpetually contemplates. His hours upon hours of studying and experimentation are readily apparent in his live shows. Step into a room with Packo at the helm and prepare yourself for a bombardment of stimulants from every angle - gyrating genres, soulful grooves and mind twisting effects all tied together in a beautiful bow thanks to Packo's rich talents.
