Artist History DEWAYNE JENSEN’S D.J. career began in 1979 when his mother, a former manager of legendary Detroit based motown group’s , decided to buy him a unique birthday gift. The gift turned out to be two turntables and a mixer. He soon began mastering his skills at private parties and high school functions. He quickly moved through the ranks and began a long streak of residency’s begining in 1981 with a spot at a legendary underground club called the Downstairs Pub. The pub was the fuel of the fire that opened up Detroit’s hunger for underground music. Next came residency’s at Luomo, Cheek’s, Studio 54, Heyjudes, and Lanotte. Mr. JENSEN became very sought after for underground music and his talent as a disc jockey. He then decided to attend college at Eastern Michigan University. There he met and became friends with such notables as Kevin Saunderson-lnnercity, Derrick May-Transmat, Eddie Fowlkes-CityBoy, Art Payne-StreetSound, Mike Clark-Agent X, Juan Atkins-Metroplex and Norm Talley Chisel Records. They all clicked and became good friends. Back then they dj'ed fraternity and sorority party’s . They began to spin together and to experiment with musical equipment along with Deejaying.
