- Rewindit.FM 2 Hour D&B Set
  February 28, 2019UncategorizedI have put together a two hour drum and bass special for the London (UK) based internet radio station http://www.rewindit.fm. Initially our plan was to air a techno set, however after reviewing my stuff on soundcloud they requested that I put together a two hour drum and bass set instead. Naturally I was happy to oblige, as drum and bass is the reason I discovered most of the electronic music that I currently enjoy. My pallete of drum and bass music is absolutely massive, so it was a little difficult to choose tracks for this mix simply because there were so many that I wanted to include. I played it through a few times to get the energy just right, fine tuning the track selection after each session. I settled on an arrangement that let me exercise a few different styles of mixing, and one that exudes quite a varied spectrum of emotion. Expect this mix to start off slow with cuts from Metalheadz and similar labels, with a gradual increase of energy taking you to some heavier stuff off of MethLab, eventually moving into festival grade double drops and bangers, and ending with liquid Lenzman style rollers and eventually a few sentimental Offworld tracks to close it off properly. Track list will be posted here tomorrow as well as the soundcloud link with download enabled. The set will be live at this time tomorrow, and you can stream it via mobile app on either Android or iOS. Links are available for both on their website. Enjoy!...
- Debut performance now live
  February 14, 2019Events / Live Performances / MixesThis Tuesday I had the pleasure of performing my debut set at Fat Tuesday on Mill Avenue in our Downtown Tempe college district. The area is packed full of night clubs, bars, and social areas. I opened up for the Techno Snobs bi-monthly Underground Tuesday event to a full house. It was a very instructive, humbling, and enjoyable experience to say the least. I want to thank everyone that came out to show me love and support on this night, as you all know I was EXTREMELY nervous – but that all seemed to vanish once I looked up and saw the entire dance floor moving to the beat. I’m happy with the performance overall, even with the small mishaps due to nerves and being completely unfamiliar with the equipment. This was one of the most enjoyable memories I have, and I can’t wait for the next opportunity to share some of the music I love with new and old friends. The video is available via YouTube, the set has also been uploaded to SoundCloud with download enabled. See links below, and enjoy!...
