My very first record was "The Commodores" when I was 7. Played it over and over and over.... From there I was into the equipment. I had a knack for setting up stereos and I just continued to mix audio from there on out. In my early years I was exposed to the sounds of The Alan Parsons Project, which, to a young boy, opened my imagination, and I was deeply interested in electronic music. Growing up in the 80's and listening to bands like Dépêche Mode - The Cure - Flock of Seagulls (yes yes) - Duran Duran - (then into industrial) Frontline Assembly - FRONT 242 (a huge favorite)- going to clubs like "The Twilight Zone (Alameda) - One Step Beyond (San Jose) - The Underground (SF)- ahh high school ~ little skate punk in good old suburbia until that fateful day when I went to a "rave" called Wacky Citrus and my life changed forever - Then My Musical heroes became: Graeme "La Paix" - jeno - Carlos - DJ Dan - Simon - Tony - Spun - Buck - John Howard - Thomas - Garth - Mark Farina (Mushroom Jazz days) - Evil Eddie Richards - Doc Martin - Freaky Chakra - Air Liquid - David Harness - The Hardkiss Brothers - Joe Harpe - Moonpup - Little Louis Vega - Jon Williams - Johnny Fiasco - Indjut Boys
Basically I’ve been blessed with some really bizarre and wonderful experiences of the dance music culture in San Francisco and Northern California in General...
I still believe.
If it has truth in the execution... I want to hear it
