Every little sound perceived is an influence. All forms of edm (electronic dance music) influence me. What I see is very influential- images, text, events, people. Everything affects me and how I perform and what I perform.
Sounds Like
The music is new, black, polished chrome and comes over the summer like liquid night... Just think of the sounds you thrived upon during the good ol' days, when the music mattered -- when the music was your vibe.
I like to fuse elements of various genres together to make new conceptual sounds that you may find thought provoking, not unlike scoring you might hear accompanying a movie or other visual presentations.
Born in Ohio and raised in the northern VA area, my life always made some attachment to art and music. Each of my family members had very different musical tastes and I had a lot of exposure to each of their musical collections which, in total, spanned from one end of the musical spectrum to the other.
In the 80's, I started to discover what my own musical tastes were and they continued to develop well into the 90's. In the early 90's I had my first taste of pure electronically driven music and by the time I was in college, I had grasped a full understanding of techno (edm) and raves. Having my eyes opened to this world I knew what it was I had been missing because it finally completed me. I was so impressed that I felt the need to do for others what had been done for me. Everyone should feel and experience what I felt. What possibly amazed me most of all was it all happened without drugs or alcohol. I should add now that you should do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt others. We all have our closets to fill with skeletons. ;) More of these sorts of thoughts can be found in my blog.
I started dj'ing in '87, more seriously in 94 under this name. I have spun and produced all styles of edm including trance, ambient, idm, downtempo, lounge, house, techno, acid, minimal, breaks, jungle, dnb, acid jazz, hardcore, happy hardcore, gabber, avantgarde, and noise. I started producing in '92, often under the name phase shifts. My equipment includes keyboards, a mac, a pc, a ton of software, several instruments, and random equipment. Music is my passion and I will always be involved with it in some way throughout my life. I hope you will enjoy my sounds/noise.
I dj and produce ambient, downtempo, lounge, world, acid jazz, idm, trance, minimal, acid, house, techno, breaks, jungle, dnb, avant-garde, noise, hardcore, happy hardcore, gabber, experimental, industrial, dub, reggae, turntablism, jazz, disco, rock, and spoken word.

Hi friends, finally, it's done...the brandnew track of "reminder" in collaboration with "Rapha" is released today. The track "Beyound the Clouds" fascinates with a fantastic, classic melody, which has been well reproduced in all remixes. Daniel Kandi's 147 Remix is a really bomb on the dancefloor Thank you for your support...
