Buckner is a DJ, a producer, and event planner of over 15 years. His musical sound covers several flavors of house and techno, always with a twist of funk.
     Currently living in San Francisco, California, Buckner was born and raised in Orlando, Florida. Living there, he was exposed to good music by Kimball Collins and some of Sasha and John Digweed’s first US shows at Firestone in Orlando and Simon’s in Gainesville. From 1995-2002 Buckner lived in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and it was there that he started DJing, producing music and throwing events. In 1998 he formed Vibe is Alive, an event production company, which grew to be one of the top forces in the North Carolina scene by mixing headlining talent with strong local artist support.  From 2002-2009, Buckner re-rooted himself in Orlando where he would hold several different DJ residencies, host solid events, and focus on his sound and music production.  And finally in late 2009, Buckner relocated to San Francisco. The best city for electronic music in this country, arguably the world.
    
     Always having the dance floor moving, regardless of the time of day, or nature of the venue, Buckner is a veteran of the scene.
