ATTN. RECORD POOL & STREET PROMOTIONS DEPT.,

I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. I AM "CAPTAIN KIRK", HEAD OF AN EAGER CREW OF THE HOTTEST DEEJAYS TO HAVE EVER VENTURED INTO THE MUSICAL UNIVERSE. WE ARE BOLDLY TAKING MUSIC WHERE NO POOL HAS GONE BEFORE!

OK, OK, ENOUGH WITH STAR TREK. MY REAL NAME IS RONNIE MATTHEWS. I'VE BEEN IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS FOR OVER 29 YEARS & SPINNING THE HOTTEST & NEWEST JAMMZ FOR OVER 26 YEARS. I RETIRED FROM CAMELOT MUSIC HERE IN CHARLOTTE, WHICH WAS THE LARGEST MUSIC RETAIL STORE ON THE EAST COAST, 1/6/94 WHERE I WAS THE 12", CD-5 & MAXI/CASSINGLE BUYER FOR OVER 13 YEARS.

AS FOR CONNECTIONS, NOT ONLY HAVE I BEEN A REPORTER FOR BILLBOARD MAGAZINE'S RAP & DANCE RETAIL CHARTS, THE POOL & I, PERSONALLY CURRENTLY REPORT TO www.recordpoolcharts.com, DJ TIMES, F.M.Q.B., S.I.N. (CLUB & POOL), HITS, NETWORK 40, HITMAKERS (POOL & CLUB), D.M.A. DANCE MUSIC AUTHORITY MAGAZINE, GAVIN, STREETSOUND MAGAZINES, THE UNDERGROUND NEWS, GROUND LEVEL MAGAZINE, INSOMNIAC/HIP HOP MAGAZINE, DMC/UPDATE USA, 4080 HIP HOP MAGAZINE, CLUBLIFE MAGAZINE, DJ MAGAZINE, MOBILE BEAT, DETAILS MAGAZINE, PROMO ONLY, I-MIX MAGAZINE, NETMIX, VYBE MUZIK & ELITE/ADM, BEHIND THE SCENES, PRODJ.COM, THE URBAN COALITION (CORE MEMBER) & IMPACT, TO NAME A FEW.
I WAS 1 OF 3 DJS THAT STARTED THE 1ST MIXSHOWS IN HISTORY IN THE CHARLOTTE AREA BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DISCO DAYS, 1977, AT WRPL, A DAYLIGHT AM STATION THAT WAS ON THE BLINK OF GOING DARK, BUT WHEN THE STATION OWNERS CAME TO THE 3 OF US & OFFERED US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A NON STOP MIX, FROM SUN UP TO SUNDOWN, WE JUMPED ON THE AIRWAYS & HISTORY WAS MADE. THE STATION'S RATINGS WENT FROM .08 TO ONE OF THE TOP 5 STATIONS WITHIN 4 MONTHS. WE CONTINUED TO DO THE MIX UNTIL 1979 WHEN THE STATION WAS SOLD FOR TWICE WHAT THE OWNERS ORIGINALLY PAID. IN MOST RESENT HISTORY, I DID THE FIRST MIX-SHOWS ON WPEG/POWER 98, HERE IN CHARLOTTE, FOR 7 MONTHS & MOVED OVER TO WCKZ, KISS-102, WHERE I DID THE MIX-SHOWS FOR A LITTLE OVER 6 YEARS. MY SHOW WAS ON MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, 8:30PM TILL 9:15PM/KISS-MINI-MIXX & FRIDAY NIGHT, 8PM TILL 2AM, THEN SATURDAY NIGHT, 9PM TILL 2 AM, (THE KISS MIXX WITH "CAPTAIN KIRK"). UNFORTUNATELY THE STATION WAS BOUGHT OUT BY OUR COMPETITION & WAS PUT TO SLEEP OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO THIS MARKET SINCE THEN. I ALSO DID THE MIXSHOWS AT WEDJ IN 1996 THRU 1997 & AM AN ADVISOR FOR THE WNKS MIXSHOW, TODAY. SO YOU ASK, "WHAT'S THE POINT"?

THE POINT IS I NEED YOUR HELP & YOU NEED MINE. AS OF NOW, STARFLEET HAS GROWN TO 65 MEMBERS STRONG & I MEAN STRONG. WE ARE BASED IN CHARLOTTE, N.C.; HOWEVER OUR MAIN SERVICING AREAS ARE N.C., S.C., TENN., VIRG. & GA.. TO THE EXTREMES, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF DJS IN UPSTATE N.Y., FL. & ALL THE WAY OUT IN SALT LAKE CITY, UT.. THESE DJS WERE ORIGINALLY FROM OUR REGULAR SERVICING AREA & WHEN THEY MOVED, I ALLOWED THEM TO TAKE THEIR MEMBERSHIPS WITH THEM. SINCE OUR INCEPTION IN JANUARY 1990, WE HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR BREAKING ARTIST LIKE, ROBIN S., N'SYNC, ABIGAIL, PLANET SOUL, CRAIG DAVID, CRYSTAL WATERS, P DIDDY, NELLY, LONDON BUS STOP, FAITH EVANS, NO MERCY, YVETTE MICHELE, PINK, FUGEES, BLAQUE, BUBBA SPARXXX, PETEY PABLO, B2K, SEAN PAUL, JOE BUDDEN & HUNDREDS MORE, FORCING THE RADIO STATIONS IN ALL OF THE MARKETS THAT WE SERVICE TO GET BUSY. IF YOU NEED PROOF, CALL SOME OF YOUR LABEL FRIENDS, MAJORS & INDIS OR THE PUBLICATIONS I LISTED ABOVE. WE MEAN BUSINESS!! OUR ROSTER IS FILLED WITH SOME OF THE BEST DEEJAYS ON THE EAST COAST. ALSO, WITH A RECENT UPGRADE IN OUR COMPUTER TRACKING & RATING SYSTEM, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A CLEAR, PRECISE & UNBIASED VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR MUSIC IN OUR RECORD POOL. PLEASE GIVE US A CALL SO WE CAN KEEP THEM ON THE BALL!!

ALLOW ME FIX THIS PROBLEM!! LET ME BREAK THE ICE! GIVE ME SERVICE AND I'LL GIVE YOU RESULTS! HELP ME TO TAKE THIS POOL WHERE NO POOL HAS GONE BEFORE BY OPENING THE EARS & PACKING THE DANCE FLOORS OF THE NAIVE MARKETS THAT WE COVER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME & HELP!

PEACE,

RONNIE (CAPTAIN KIRK) MATTHEWS
