I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i love life, and living it. i love being around people. im very social. i hate being alone. i dont mind sitting alone, and people watching, just as long as there are people around for me to observe. im just not good with isolation. what you see, is what you get... i try to be as open as i can with people... i hope for the same in return. i TRY to have nothing to hide... but you know.. theres always something, right? i try not to be judgemental, but we all have our flaws... others ignorance brings out the worst in me. i wear my heart on my sleeve. im married to music. everything i am, everything i do.. everything... its all around music. romantically, im just getting back into the swing of being in a relationship, and im quite happy about that. i have recently learned that i really prefer spending as much free time as conflicting schedules permit, with my significant other... in fact i wish we had MORE time together then we do now. i am a dj. i started toying with it back in 1983 when i was a young lad, and have never looked back since. i have dj sets .. available for download, free, at http://www.hybridized.org/sets/?artist=3i write music in my (little) spare time. feel free to observe my very slow developing works in progress at www.myspace.com/jasondunnemusic as i work on various original productions, collaborations and remixes..................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ..............................people often inquire about my history... im not that good at boasting about my accomplishments.. especially in the third party sense. here is a very outdated biography of some of my early career accomplishments... it hasnt been updated in at least 5 years, but at least its something, right?...................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................Fort Lauderdale native Jason Dunne is arguably the United States' fastest rising progressive artist. His numerous mixed-CDs and singles aside, Dunne's experience with live audio mixing would make your average dj/producer blush. After attending the prestigious Institute of Audio Research and Center for the Media Arts, Jason put his audio talents to use at a variety of nationally and internationally televised events including Super Bowl XXIX, the World Cup, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Grammys, the Emmys, the World Series playoffs, and a laundry list of concerts for groups like Pink Floyd, Elton John and Metallica. Since moving to Chicago in 2000, Dunne has set his sights on his true love: progressive dance music. As the driving force and A&R rep behind the newly founded Sunrise Recordings, he wheels and deals with world renowned djs and producers on a daily basis, doing his part to establish trance and progressive house in the United States. In addition his original singles ("Jet Set," "Stay With Me," and "I'll Be There," the latter co-produced with Josh Collins and Greg "Stryke" Chin) and mixed-CDs (Of Epic Proportion, Trance: A State of Altered Consciousness, and Sunrise Sessions) have cemented his place among dance music's elite. When coupled with his staggering booking schedule across North America, you can see why Dunne is such an eminently popular - and for that matter, marketable - commodity

My Interests

music... id really like to get into film.. music supervision, and eventually scoring... but thats a pipe dream isnt it? i have a lot of (useless?) knowledge of all kinds of music.. from one hit wonders of the past, to bleepy bloopy electronic music you've wished you had never heard. ive been djing since.. oh i dunno.. 1983 i think? im interested in your vote!!! http://www.thedjlist.com/djs/JASON_DUNNE/
