Much respect to the industrial/EBM and hardcore heads here in the States. Mad respect to those who have been my influences over the years especially those hardcore djs coming out of The Netherlands and the industrial warlocks coming out of the imperial countries of Austria, Czech, Germany, and Mexico!
A video a student did to my music somewhere up in the Northern states
I was a dj at the Denver radio station, MetRadio and 91.7FM, where I spun every Tuesday and Thursay from 2pm-4pm the best in hard hitting electronic and metal/goth/punk/emo/industrial/hardcore music.
MetRadio 91.7FM had an entire population, including students, staff, and faculty, at over 50,000, the largest student body in Colorado (Fall 2005). Plus the people who worked in downtown Denver who could hear the station. So it was a great way to get the music I loved out to the general public and on those given days I could hit a potential audience of 1 million people in the Denver area!
My music was featured in two storm chasing DVDs which is now being sold. Go to this website to view the main storm chaser, Tony Laubach. and enjoy the ride as I take you into the inner depths of tornadoes and Hell! Also be looking out for several X-treme snowboarding/skiing videos filmed in Alaska/Coloardo/California/Utah to feature some of my own produced songs.
Here are some of my albums and dvds that are available worldwide:

Dani "Daz" Garza aka Dj Morbid is a Basque-American who has been djing and producing music for over a decade. I started out in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas / Northeastern Mexico as a club dj spinning rave and techno back in 1993. I started out as a Hardcore dj under the Dj Morbid moniker in 1996. Since I have always had a fondness for black/goth metal and industrial/hardstyle music, I decided to start dj'ing Dark Industrial/EBM/Darkwave music about 4 years ago. Since then I have been pushing acid, trance, aggrotech, EBM, industrial, darkwave, hardcore, hard house and some metal into a melting pot of heavy hitting music for the dance floors. My self produced music beats and remixes can be heard throughout the world. Whether I am djing under the name of "Dani Garza" or "Dj Morbid", I am in it for the music and the energy of the crowd.
Currently, I am the guitarist/backup vocalist of industrial outfit Black the Sun which has an all-star lineup of talented Texas musicians. I was also the guitarist/keyboardist/programmer for the bands, Brainpan,Sidhe, and the black metal band, Wither which consisted of members from the bands Cauldron, Deadspeak, Dethroned, Amduscia (U.S.), Monostat-7, and Forgotten Realm.
Music is in my blood and having it in my life is what feeds me to live on to the next day. So anything dealing with being around music, I am for it! I was the owner of Club 218, bringing the Front Range of Colorado/Wyoming the best in metal, hardcore, raves, and electronica music from around the region and world. I brought several international dj's to Northern Colorado/Wyoming out of all places. LOL. It was during this time that I formed "Mountain Raves" for the entire Rocky Mountain region around 1998. It started out as an e-list to let people know what parties, raves, shows, and clubs were doing in the following weeks across the Rockies. This soon became a website I developed with the same information on the e-list. I soon got help from the people who formed "Pureform Atmospheres" in Ft. Collins, Colorado and they took over the reigns from there.
We closed the doors to Club 218 in 2000 and relocated to Denver, Colorado where my band flourished. It is here that I continued to produce music and play music as a guitarist/keyboardist. I was also in college learning film/television production at Metropolitan State College of Denver and University of Colorado in which I got my degree through. I also had a sweet job as manager of Guitar Center in Highlands Ranch/Centennial, Colorado. It was here that I got trained on the latest music production equipment and instruments and gained the financial stability to make a home music studio.
During this time, I also helped the American Gothic culture in helping start the e-site, "The Gothic Preservation Society", with my gothic sister, Cinka. This organization wanted to wash out the fake trendy bats (Manson lovers) from the "true Goths" (Sisterys of Mercy, Christian Death, Nosferatu, culture, religion, and art). I also wrote and collaborated with Cinka for several years and thus getting my work published for the cause. "The Gothic Preservation Society" soon became "Dark Culture Magazine" and it took off like wildfire. After several years, "Dark Culture Magazine" is alive and well today!
For the love of music, I am helping the South Texas nightlife become one of the best spots in the nation, in terms of dance culture. Relocating to the Rio Grande Valley and still being part of the music scene, I am helping the region in becoming one of the desired locations for djs to come to play. I am currently president of Klubstalkerz. We specialize in throwing parties, events, dj shows, and club nights. We also help out with charity events and fund raisers. Click on the link to visit our website. I also help out with Magazine X and TakeOverRGV.com
I am also the owner/president of Astralmedia Group. This multimedia company has several divisions. Astralmedia Productions deals with multimedia productions and information technology development and implementation. Astralmedia Records is a music label for electronica/gothic/industrial artists as well as rock/metal artists. Astralmedia Promotions and Management is an artist/event promotions company that caters to several mediums. The company works out of the Rio Grande Valley region (Texas). This company specializes mostly with multimedia and musical artist relations. We also help out casting companies and modeling agencies with talent as needed.
I have been hitting raves throughout the US have played in many U.S. cities. My music has been played throughout the world since 1996 and can now be heard on many online radio stations and and the occassional college radio station. If you have a station, let and like my music, get ahold of me so I can submit some tracks! :)
I have shared the stage with djs such as: Omar Santana, Chris Fortier, Delta Nine, Combichrist, VNV Nation, Suicide Commando, Rage, Rogue, Cruxshadows, Raven, Buzz Fuzz, Masochist, Neophyte, Razed in Black, Bella Muerte, Dieselboy, Carl Cox, Dj Fury, Deadly Buddha, Dj Skinhead, Nemesis, George Centeno, Dj Rap, Viscious, Bam Bam, Keoki, Christopher Lawrence, ESP, Bezerker, Dj Hollywood, Ron D Core, Paul Elstak, Hellfish, Diamond, Dj Dero, Jekyl and Hyde, and others to name a few.
