DJ Spen & Gary Hudgins

Dance music icon Sean "DJ Spen" Spencer first laid his hands on the decks at the age of thirteen while growing up in Baltimore, and he hasn’t looked back since. He began his career producing mix shows for Baltimore’s WEBB AM. Even at that young age, Spen founded one of the area's first hip hop production groups, the Numarx.

The years that followed saw DJ Spen transition from his hip-hop roots towards dance music. After joining the famed production collective, Basement Boys in the early 90s, DJ Spen became known for his unique style producing soulful house music.

Working some of the world’s most talented vocalists and musicians, DJ Spen and Gary Hudgins come together with Carl Cox and Eric Powell’s MDFC to rework/rerecord “Make My Dreams A Reality with the GQ’s legendary Emanual Blanc.

This mix has only been available on the much sort after MDFC triple pack vinyl album.
