Music has been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember and im confident to say its shaped who I am today. From a very young age I was very much into Syththesized music , especially Jean Michelle Jarre (one of my all time heroes). Along side this I loved early electro house and Detroit techno so naturally , was blown away with the late 80’s acid house explosion and even more so by the early 90’s Rave explosion, and this is where my passion really set in. I first went on a pair of decks at the tender age of 9 years old (1991), and around this time got 1xdeck for Christmas, now….clearly you don’t have to be a dj to understand that this is useless for mixing, but, for beatmatching, this was the best thing you could imagine! Id beatmatch vinyls to tapes,or anything that was playing in the house,and by the time I got my 2nd deck and mixer at 12years old, the learning curve of beatmatching was already mastered! Now, musically , im predominantly Hardcore, always have been, from early breakbeat hardcore right through to todays sounds. Ive loved the evolution of the sound and have the same passion for the sound as I did 20 years ago. Trance was a major influence for me in the 90’s too , especially Paul Oakenfold/Sasha/Digweed to name a few….their ability to seamlessly blend tracks together over the course of an hour or so and leave me feeling like id been on a musical journey really inspired me and applied this same technique to everything I mixed. Today, I concentrate mainly on Uk Hardcore and Hard dance, which while im “here” must mention how impressed and inspiring I find hard dance at the mo , from the techy minimal sounds right through to the tough hardstyle sounds of Europe, I feel this scene has got a lot to offer and has something for everyone. Im loving the Hard dance scene as a whole at the moment, whether it be Breakbeats/Kickdrums/trancey/ravey/techy/fast/slow…..the scene in my eyes is as diverse as its ever been, whatever others may think! Music is a way of life!

I bought 1200s and a mixer in the summer of 1995 after discovering psychedelic trance and, realizing that it wasn't being played at any of the parties I was going to, decided to take matters into my own hands. I didn't realize at the time that this music was just beginning to differentiate itself as its own unique sub-genre, but after about a year of constant practice I landed my first gig. By the turn of the millenium I'd played at events all across the US and Canada, and had borne witness to the establishment of a vibrant psy trance scene in North America.In recent years, my musical tastes have expanded into progressive house, tech house, and techno but always with an emphasis on the elements that first attracted me to psychedelic trance. The bpms may be a bit slower, but my aim is still to take listeners on a sonic journey with each mix session. But that won't stop me from rocking a complete psy trance set every once and again for old times' sake. I am currently collaborating in the studio with my longtime friend Kent Friedman as Silicon Syndicate. For the last two years we've assembled a series of tracks that are just beginning to be released on labels. A 4-track 'Sonic Tectonic' EP released on Icarus Creations in August will be followed in the upcoming weeks by the 3-track 'Impulse Anomaly' EP on Mistique Music. Next year already has two releases scheduled on Holland's LuPS Records with remixes from some of that label's top artists.
