About Me

I'm a "retired" jungle/breaks dj from the Portland area. I still love the music but just lost touch with the scene.
I love to cook, I'm also a nerd and I like computers. I do IT/helpdesk work for a phone company and I'm learning how to code (slowly).

I've been makin tracks these days. Weird downtempo/tribal-ambient stuff seems to be my calling. We'll see where this road takes me!
I just set up a Myspace music page: myspace.com/phreekmusic

Mmmm. Joy Division live back in `79. I wish I could have seen them live. RIP Ian Curtis.
