Music Biography
For the last ten years, Davin Greenwell, better known as DJ ariz0na or producer AFK, has been pushing the progressive sound in the form of breaks, house and trance. Davin has been heavily involved in the Victoria electronic music scene through many years of community and commercial radio, club and events promotion, ravevictoria.com, and now most prominently with Pacific Front Recordings (PFR), a new music label he trail blazes in cahoots with Justin Humber, aka Sasha-spun Formulate. Recording as AFK has seen Davin release several gigantic progressive tracks on his home label, PFR, and has produced a haunting breakbeat remix of c79s Violent Silence and a synapse-smashing remix of Micahs progressive house odyssey, Capable Space. His collaboration with Anand Greenwell Tiebreaker -- has been very well received. Davin has been remixed by names such as Steve May, Dustin H, His Boy Elroy, Matt Rowan and Jaytech, Seed, Phokus, Jacob Todd, Daniel Lindeberge, Blake Jarrell, Jeff Devas, Influenza, Micah, Formulate, and c79. In addition to the Pacific Front releases, he has music forthcoming on the tremendously popular Proton Music and a release out on Inaspace (UK) under the guise of Royal Assassin with Thor Kell, also known as Fractal - TidePools deepest puddle. Davin's music has extended globally and can be heard in forward-thinking clubs all over the world with support from DJs like Sasha and John Digweed, Armin Van Buueren, Dale Anderson, Luke Chable and Shiloh.
No stranger to Proton Radio, Davin's current appearances there is on his on his show called Pacific Front Sessions, which he hosts with Justin Humber and airs monthly. With nods to progressive's huge past, Davin and Justin capture the excitement and the essence of the scene today, giving a rare but powerful glimpse of the greater things to come.
