Touchphonics is a heavy hitting Dj/Producer/Engineer. Originally hailing from the Northeast, he now claims San Francisco, CA. as home. Starting off in punk and metal bands throughout his youth, Touchphonics has always had a passion for music and individualism. Heavily influenced by hip hop and many electronic forms, he began putting down his guitar and taught himself to scratch and mix records. He moved to Boston, Ma. to study recording and production, along with interning at a recording studio. At the same time he began the infamous Three Amigo's turntablism sessions with E-train and Framework. They later formed The Loyalists, which Touchphonics would dj, co-produce and engineer for. The Loyalists would go on to independently put out two records as well as perform with many notable acts such as KRS-One, Wordsworth, and Jedi Mind Tricks.
After two years on the East coast they decided to tackle the West coast and relocated to San Francisco. Touchphonics' interest in drum and bass was on the rise. He opted to play a more behind the scenes role for The Loyalists as solely an engineer and producer. This allowed him to focus fully on his DnB productions and djing. Getting steady bookings throughout the SF drum and bass scene and beyond, he has played at events such as Love Parade, Shelter, In2It, Urban Drums, Trauma, Primitive Science, Fsound, Burning Man, Ultra Music Festival, Koncrete Jungle/Mash up Miami, and Whiplash.
Always maintaining the "Independent as Fuck" ethos Touchphonics has now embarked on his own imprint, Elevated Press Records. It will be the main output for his drum and bass productions, as well as collaborations through all forms of break-beat, hip hop, turntablism, and dubstep. Touchphonics is a hard working determined artist who has never been afraid to take on new ventures and to follow the path that music continues to lay out for him. Be on the look for this fresh new talent.

Number 40 is here and it is a doosy. Seriously this is entire mix is one of those where you pop it in and just sit back and listen to it. Some drum n bass mixes are rapid fire, while others get really deep and others just stay with a theme throughout and as great as those are sometimes it is good when mixes start at one place and take you to another, this session throughout does so. Really impressed with Mainframe’s set as he mixes hard banging tunes, amen sounds with some hip hop laced t
