Devil's Advocate

About me:

MySpace Layouts

I am only worth knowing if you are going to act like a human being.

I am not a patient person when it comes to people. I want them to be smart, mature and interesting. I am not interested in being friends with people who are ignorant, shallow, or blind to their surroundings. The world around us is beautiful and filled with a joy that is meant to be cherished.

That is not to say that I am a happy-go-lucky person. I just get my aggression and frustration out through DJing, dancing, producing, writing, talking and any other form of creativity I don't completely suck at (see: singing, painting, drawing). If you do not understand how to be a productive member of the world around you and instead decide to wallow in your own self-loathing, failing to deal with issues that range back to your childhood because it's "hard" and instead ride your own pity party all the way to the bank, I do not want to have anything to do with you.

I am a DJ. I spin hard electronic music (ie: Industrial, Powernoise, PsyTrance, hard Trance and others). If you are an elitist douchebag whose head is still stuck in 1995 then please leave me alone. I can spin on turntables, CDs and on a laptop. There is no point in the inconvenience of spinning on CDs or vinyl anymore. If you think this makes me less of a DJ then you can take your opinion elsewhere. If you are not willing to listen then don't ask. If you are then we can discuss, and we don't have to agree, but if you are the kind of person who, well, is an ignorant, arrogant shithead who is scared because technology is changing then fuck off. I don't have time, nor patience for that mindset anymore. I'm too old and too driven to give a shit about your ego or fears.

I am currently building a new set up including a Remote 25 SL, a MIDIFighter, possibly adding a VCI-100 and Traktor Pro. I am using a program called Bome's MIDI Translator to create a unique and expressive DJ controller set up that will not be duplicated by anyone, as it is completely individual to my taste and style.

I am always interested in new music that I can spin. Don't expect me to spin it, but if it is good and I can fit it in I will do my best to give you the airplay you deserve on the dance floors that will appreciate it.

As a side note, I am educated with a bachelor's degree in English Literature with a center in Medieval Renaissance Studies and a minor in Classical Literature. I work for a rather large law firm as a legal secretary (I have been told I have the legs for it). I read, write, and enjoy the life I have worked for.

that's where I do the bulk of my bitching. But who knows, maybe here too.
