Life itself and music from different cultures all over the world. (especially from Asia) that is where I get most of my inspiration and ideas from.
Artist inspirations: Hybrid, Rabbit In The Moon, Sasha & Digweed, Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Sisters of Mercy, the Cure, Prodigy, Sven Vath, Vitamin D, Qbert, Moby, Orbital, Future Sound of London, Cosmic Gate, Delerium, too many others to list.

a little bit of everything... beat sculpted soundscapes of drum driven grooves.
crossover productions similar to the likes of those listed under "influences," with complex drum programming.
MY WEBSITE HAS A NEW SERVER NOW! SO ALL OF MY MIXES LISTED BELOW ARE AGAIN AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD! sorry for the unavailability. it took me a few weeks.
Also available, if you have the patience for downloading an 80 MB file and dont mind a single hour-long MP3, click here for the CD I made last year, Electronic Flow.
I make music and spin it at clubs and special events.
Lately my direction has been Break Beat, Drum n Bass, and Tribal. Other artists that sound like that, are what I like to mix besides my own stuff.
I was born in Miami, but grew up in Denver. Then after I got my degree in architecture I moved to San Antonio where the work was better.
I like to structure my songs deeply because I was classicly trained in music and I think it shows in the sound. I was one of those little kids parents started into it at a very early age and now can play just about every instrument fluently, although percussion is what I'm best at. (thats why my beats sound the way they do)
I always strive to use a mixing board and decks as just another instrument.
Also, maintaining a professional attitude with others; free of entertainment scene drama and always helping new artists progress; gained a notable reputation in Texas as not only a favorite DJ to many; but also a very reliable, smart, and easy person to work with.
Other genres of music I play with are progressive house, dub-step, ragga riddim, UK hard house, electronica, dark-wave, EDM, EBM, IDM, synth-pop, noise-core, gothic, industrial, 80s new-wave retro, and 90s post-modern.
Besides working on music and remixes in my studio room, I've managed to be a key contributor to local underground music scenes and pushed my mix selections and styles to a dominating level in dance clubs and raves for 13 years.
The best thing in life is taking a crowds energy to new heights and making them truly feel something along with just dancing their asses off. The bigger the crowd, the better I sound. That feeling is euphoric to me.
When I'm not doing any of that, I like playing first person shooter games on my xbox, going to the gym (gotta be in good shape for shows), and help out others with their music efforts.
Sometimes I produce somebodys music because I have the ear, gear, and technical knowledge for it. If I really like it then it can turn into a collaboration where I'm programming the beats. I also teach DJ's lessons in the off season (January-March). Get with me in December if you want to learn how to spin or broaden your current skills.
If you're a promoter or booking agent, I'm open and nogotiable on all offers. But I also studied 3 different martial arts for 4 years in my youth, so don't even THINK about getting away with not paying me! (I'm a big boy and I'll have to hurt ya, so serious offers only please)
