I guess it all began in the early to mid 90’s with my first introduction to electronic music. Intrigued by the sounds I was hearing i began needing more; it was something out of my control. As quickly as I could, I found someone with a hook-up, without knowing its highly addictive qualities, asked if I could give this “house music†a try. Since then my life has been a blur of beats, blends, blips, bloops, synths, stabs and samples.
Over the years this sickness grew and I began to infect others. Recklessly delivering beats with a total disregard for the wellbeing of myself or those around me. It was then in early 2000 that I met fellow addict Filip D. Together we formed twodeep, a Chicago based support group designed to help individuals deal with their unrelenting house addictions. We promptly attended numerous club events and loft parties in an attempt to seek out others with similar addictions and offer our support.As time passed my tastes changed, eventually some flavors of house became more pleasing to the palate than others. In the beginning I’d dabble mostly with deep tech and a bit of house. Later .. a few trips to California, I succumbed to the pressures of lounge and west coast soulful house. As time went on the tolerance of my addiction became apparent, I required something more. My love for tech was returning but my need for music was so great I had to play it all. These days I’ve completely given into music and play what I feel and whatever moves me. I do my best to take what’s out there and arrange it in a pleasing fashion for you to hear. Thanks for listening.
“I think I spent 30 years of my life... in the first 30, tying to become something. I wanted to become good at things, I wanted to become good at tennis, I wanted to become good at school and grades, and everything I kind of viewed in that perspective. 'I’m not ok the way I am, but if I got good at things…' I realized I had the game wrong. The game was to find out what I already was.â€-not sure who this was, zeitgeist
As free human beings we can use our unique intelligence to try to understand ourselves and our world.
But if we are prevented from using our creative potential,
we are deprived of one of the basic characteristics of a human being.
