About

I got my start as an FM radio DJ before moving on to the underground rave scene in Los Angeles in the late '90s, where I focused on writing and performing heavy, dancefloor-oriented music. Today, I live in the Austin area, producing genre-defying records that blend my prior influences.


Thanks for visiting my site and listening to my music. I appreciate you.

My second album is all house music! I still have a few albums' worth of back catalog material from the past 20 years to release. Check back here every six months or so for the next album!

I released my first album on Winter Solstice, 2022. Check it out on any of the streaming sources linked on this page.

2016
Live music capital of the world

I returned to the US, bouncing back and forth between Los Angeles and Pittsburgh until ultimately settling in Austin, Texas, thanks to a magical experience at a rooftop techno club at 5th and Congress.

2013
Nomadic years

I spent a few years outside the US, traveling from country to country, staying for a few months at a time to soak up the local dance music scene. I have fond memories of great music and fun people in London, Berlin, Barcelona, Istanbul, and elsewhere from these days. Seeing what moves the crowd in diverse regions was a revelation and inspiration.

2005
International booking

I was thrilled to spin a slamming four-hour set at a house music club in Bulgaria. I was on holiday and wasn't expecting to get the booking, all I had was my laptop, so I had to visit a couple electronics stores and borrow a mixer to cobble together a DJ setup from what was available on short notice. It was a great show nonetheless, awesome vibes from the crowd.

2003
From raves to clubs

There were heavy crackdowns in the rave scene at around this time so I started getting booked to play in nightclubs and afterhours clubs much more than raves. I started diversifying my DJ sets, adding techno, house, and breakbeats to the mix.

2001
Published on vinyl

I pressed my first record (actually a dubplate). I was thrilled the first time I heard about another DJ playing my music at a show. Ironically, this was just about at the end of the era where drum & bass DJs would only consider records on vinyl and CDJs were considered uncool.

1999
Rave days

I moved from radio to live performance, spinning drum & bass in the underground LA rave scene. Around this time I also started writing drum & bass records, collaborating heavily with other artists like AnTi and CTRL-S in Los Angeles and Syphon in Orange County. I independently released two mix CDs of original drub & bass records. You can still find them on Russian pirate music websites today.

1996
FM radio DJ

I spun records on two radio shows on WRCT 88.3 FM Pittsburgh, where I developed a love for techno and drum & bass.
