to New York City, to launch his music production career. In 1992, he worked as label chief at Experimental Records, NYC (NCP/ EX). He was active in signing such artists as: Joey Beltram, Freddy Fresh, Mark Bell, Cari Lekebusch, Woody Mcbride, Bryan Zentz, and Tim Taylor. ..One night after spinning at the Limelight club;NYC, Damon and his
room-mate Ray Love teamed up to produce a fluke, non expected hit:
Toxic Two "Rave Generator". It sold over 100,000 copies in six months,
and went into the top 15, in the UK singles charts. Then, later In 1995, Damon decided it was time to begin his own label:Synewave.

Besides producing, Damon enjoys dj'ing
around the globe;he feels it is a great way to get
new inspiration and test the latest material..
Techno for me is a way of life,actually a metafor to my life:
it should not be defined, as it cannot be.
