A little bit about me...

I've been a DJ since my senior year in college when my roommate informed me that he wanted to be a DJ. Not wanting to be bested by my friend at anything else, I too decided to start dabbling in the electronic mixing realm. Little did I know it would consume my very existence.

During this time, I realized that mere mixing of beats wouldn't satisfy my needs. I began reworking existing tracks such at Cream by Blank and Jones (PVD mix) and Underworld's, Born Slippy. Eventually I produced my very first track, Summersong, which I played out at various parties and events. Alas, my need for a full time job took over my time and it is only lately that I've been able to return to production. Recently I've released my third single together with Jesse Hoffman entitled "Midnight" and shortly there after I finished my remix production of Fred Baker and Nyram's "Confirmation".

I realized that wanted a way to share my various unreleased mixed sets that I do from time to time (not to be confused with my actual mixed sets at in the music section). It was at this point I came up with the idea of Rotation, enabling me to create a weekly set to be shared with those who would enjoy the tunes I enjoy. It has turned into a phenomenon that plays to over 10,000 listeners globally each week. Additionally I was asked to be a monthly resident on Randy Boyer's prestigious Radio show entitled "Buzz Featuring Rush Hour" along side such heavy hitters as Markus Schulz, Gabriel and Dresden and many more.

Presently my day job is working at Electronic Arts as a character animator for video games. Music has always and will always be my passion which is why I never accept cash for DJing at parties (I'm just happy to share the music I love with people). I've felt conflicted over the past few month as to whether I would rather start producing music on a full time basis or keep my original plan of being an animator for games and film. I suppose I'll figure this out in time...

For production, I use an Intel Core 2 Duo laptop with Ableton Live, Reason 3.0, a M-Audio UC-33 control interface and a M-Audio Radium 49 Midi Keyboard. For mixing I Traktor DJ Studio 3. It's an all in one solution that gives you the option of controlling your music entirely via your laptop (using a Numark Total Control DJ surface to mimic controls found on CDJ's) and only requires an external, multi-channel sound card (I use a M-Audio FastTrak Pro).
