Music
My roots were in local punk rock shows and 90s alternative like pixies and nirvana, expanded into hip hop, then discovered underground electronic music when i moved to the big city - been hooked ever since.
Started djing experimental breakbeat, idm, ambient stuff, squarepusher style jungle and ragga, drum and bass, heavy dub and breakbeats. Lately been expanding into dubstep. At the same time, I'm also a fan of the 4/4 - older chicago acid house, detroit techno, the minimal side of things, glitchy...richie hawtin being a main influence. Basically, if its electronic, has an underground edge to it and its quality - i appreciate it.
Movies
I really enjoy weird out there movies with biting sarcasm. I also enjoy slumming it and watching horribly bad b-movies from action flicks starring Michael Dudikoff (American Ninja 2) to psychedlic italian horror (Vampyros Lesbos). Sci fi and big budget is cool too. Some random favorites:
Fantastic Planet, Man Bites Dog, Akira, Spirited Away, Alien, Aliens, Shogun Assassin, Requiem for a Dream, Happiness, Lord of the Rings trilogy, OG Star Wars trilogy, Alphaville, (Brain dead right now add more later...)
Television
Kill your tv
Books
I wish I had more time to read...
Ubik or anything else by Philip K. Dick, 1984 by George Orwell, Generation Ecstasy by Simon Reynolds, Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind Perfect Collection by Hayao Mayazaki [Manga], Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo [Manga], Elegant Universe by Brian Greene (not great but an interesting read)

featuring BAREM and AMBIVALENT!!
PROJEKT NOKTURNAL SERIES_07.02.09 - THURSDAY NIGHT AFTER THE FEST.
for the very first offering of our new NOKTURNAL SERIES of events we decided to capitalize on a wonderful opportunity. a few additional minus/plus 8 mutual friends will be in town to meet up with their label-mates who are playing at the fest... to hang out... and to experience what milwaukee's buzz has been about.
join us after the summerfest show that night as we welcome back one of minus' top-tier artists... berlin, germany's JPLS. it's been nearly 6 months since he debuted his heady LIVE set to milwaukee at our 10.0 event and we're anxious to hear his newer floor-happy PA. of course, joining him that night will be a very special surprise guest... of which we are eagerly looking forward to hearing in an intimate and vibe-enriched setting.
the venue is in proximity, the vibe will be intimate, and the sound will be immaculate. scoot on over as fast as you can from the fest because there will be limited capacity and no guestlist.
join us to continue what will already be a memorable night in milwaukee techno.
