About Me

Located in southern New Hampshire, my roots in electronica music started with the live electronica band and production duo, 7th Street Garage based in Boston. I am taking all that I learned from the band and applying it to my solo ventures.
Mymission is the same as the band’s, to create and provide a new burst of energy for the electronica music industry using a unique combination ofhardware that allows for a musical set that can be heard in a club, festival, or house party, but with a completelylive feel that can change and morph depending on the setting and vibe of the crowd. I draw upon inspiration from awide range of electronic dance music styles, house, progressive house, techno, trance, electro, drum and bass, newwave, and so on. The goal is to intergrate my passion for electronic music into sound productions that reflect theinner melodies and beats stirring in my heads. Thus allowing me to entertain those like minded individualswith sets that are full of new sounds and ideas that can get you on the dance floor or take you to another time andplace.
I develop and arrange the structure for any given track using grooveboxes, synths, and samplers intergrated into one another. All of the melodies and drums come from this powerful setup and interaction.
Currently in the lab working on hazardous material to throw at you all.

Influences: I have had many influences over the years. A great many geners of music are ingrained in my soul. From House, Techno, Hip-Hop, R+B, Disco, Funk, Jazz, and many more. Electronica music is my passion though and within that music framework anything that makes you groove on the dancefloor is where I get the most joy.There are also certain DJs, bands, Clubs, and times in my past that have influenced me. - Axis Nightclub Culture Nights on Thursdays. Seeing great Djs like Oakenfold and Carl Cox for only 5 dollars.- All the underground Parties back in the late 90's.- Operation Boom - Nashua Nh, all the great local Djs at one spot on friday nights with an insane vibe that couldn't be missed week to week.- Friday Nights at Avalon Boston. Great resident Djs and Great Dj special apperances.- DJs Carl Cox, Tim Ryan, John Debo, Frankie Bones, Heather Heart, Adam X, Seb Fontaine, Tommie Gunn, Midas, Venom, Osheen, Milktoast, Robbie huggs, Danny Howels, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Bad Boy Bill, Digweed, Sandra Collins, Micro, etc....the list could go on and on.- Bands Chemical brothers, Crystal Method, Daft Punk, New Order, Underworld, The Prodigy, Duran Duran, David Bowie, and so on. I have a wide range of interest in any type of music that pushes the limits of what a genre could be and redefines them.
Sounds Like: Sounds like something I believe many house/electronica/trance music lovers will enjoy. I use electronic gear such as grooveboxes, step sequencers, synths, samplers, and drum machines. All of my music comes from the hardware mentioned above. All done in realtime. Currently I use software for recording purposes. I find the hands on feel of using hardware and the sound that gets pumped out from this setup is where I want to be with my music creation right now. The energy and enjoyment that I get from playing live is what drives me creatively. This is the energy that I wish to transfer to anyone who listens to my music.
