I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

If you're a promoter looking for my Bio. Please refer to my MUSIC PAGE .
Thanks.

First and foremost, I'm a DJ in the local club/rave scene here in Seattle for a fantastic production company called WebbwerX. I play anything that makes me (and hopefully others) happy. Most of the time... what makes me happy is breaks. Gritty, compressed, dirty breakbeats just like mom used to make!
But from time to time, I'm known to drop a Speed Garage cut or two, and/or some soulful Drum & Bass.
And don't tell anyone in the breaks scene, but I used to be a Trance DJ. (I even still play a Trance record or two if the crowd is appropriate.) *wink*
Currently, I'm also doing some freelance work as a graphic designer. As I recently explained to someone,
"I had some kind of self righteous moment where I decided that I was too good for tech support and I've been bumming around trying to make money off my design work since then."
Anyone interested in having any graphic art/design work done, feel free to get a hold of me at:
andrew.dimartino at gmail dot com
(Formatted to fool email address nabbing robots.)
I do CD cover art, Websites, Flyers, nearly anything. A few examples of some recent work can be seen below.
..
I also enjoy zombies, long walks on the beach, and long walks on the beach with zombies.
NOTE: I'm currently working on splitting up my personal page and my DJ/Producer page. This will become my new personal page, and my DJ page will be a myspace music account that I've been too lazy to set up for close to a year now.

My Blog

All kinds of poor timing.

Why does inspiration always strike when I don't have the time to do anything about it?

What do I play?

Most of the time when I tell people that I'm a DJ they ask  "So what do you play?"My official answer from now on will be "Whatever the hell I want."
