A 28 year-old native of Springfield, Missouri, dj Spiral (a.k.a. Kent Frost) grew up with an unexplainable passion for electronic music ever since he was introduced to it at the age of 11. After roughly 4 years of spending much of his time in music stores rummaging through CDs, he had developed enough of a collection of not only electronic music, but also more popular material as well, and when he was 15, began DJing for his brothers fraternity parties and even a few weddings with two standard home-style CD players, and the most affordable multi-channel mixer from Radio Shack. With enough practice, he was even able to find that some tracks would coincidentally have the same tempo, thus with the right hand timing he was able to achieve basic beat-matching without pitch control. However, never having the funds enough to by more professional-style equipment for vinyl DJing, and being that the digital technology was not as up-to-par as (and much more expensive than) the present-day digital equipment, he moved on to other hobbies such as videography and attended classes at Glendale High and at Ozarks Technical Community College for video production. When he was 19, he began working for a professional photo/video equipment retail store where he worked for over 2 years, soaking in knowledge about photography like a sponge. In August of 2002 while working at the Battlefield Mall, he came to meet members of a new message board that had emerged following the closing of Afterhours Nightclub in downtown Springfield. In December of the same year, he bought his first set of turntables, and within two and a half weeks he began handing out his first demo, Inward. I got a much more incredible response than I ever imagined I would from that demo because I hadn't ever touched a set of turntables before August of that year. If it hadn't been for my previous experience, there's no way I could've been able to do that as soon as I did. Among the first hundred or so members, he watched and participated from then on as the community exploded into the phenomenon that is 417Vibe. In an effort to give back to the community, he lends Springfields electronic music culture his photographic talents in an attempt to preserve its history. When Kent isn't spinning records, he uses his graphic design, web design, and photography knowledge to provide a multitude of services to the general public at www.spiralphoto.com.
