About me:
Hi -- I'm DJ Shivar.
That's pronounced like the sensation you get when you're cold.
I like to think that I'm a fairly fantastic ebm / industrial / electronic / whatever DJ when I get the proper amount of liquor & angry in me (Been doing it continuously since 1999, so I must be doing something right).
But I am most definitely NOT very fantastic at checking MySpace regularly! If you need to get in touch with me and would like a reply within the next six months or so, dropping me a line at djshivar @ gmail.com OR misha @ syntheticnation.com would be a good idea. (remove the spaces first, of course!)
Who I'd like to meet: People going to these:
.:._.:._.:._.:.
Clubs
Saturdays: Sin-O-Matic @ Machine
Every third Saturday. Large Goth/Industrial/fetish event
with djs SHIVAR and MOTHRA 21+
Mondays: THUD!
