About Me

DJ REDSHIFT LIVE AT KONKRETE JUNGLE 11/20/06
..
I try to make the world a better place, but it doesn't always work out the way we all planned it. I went to Umass on and off from fall 1998-2006. I was working on degrees in Plant and Soil science and Natural Resource Economics, but never achieved either. I have more credits than i need to graduate, but still haven't completed all my required courses. For now i am not a student, but still live in a college area, I throw events in The 5 College Area (Amherst/Northampton), New England, and occassioanlly New York. I spin DRUM AND BASS music (if you couldn't figure it out) it takes up alot of my time. I also throw a weekly Drum N Bass Party called FLUID, I do all the bookings and promotions, and anything else that needs to be done. Sometimes being vertical intergrated SUCKS, but someone has to hold it down, right! When i am not spinning i like to "big kick it" out on my farm & let life slow down a little. I also like to play with my dog, Viola, the best little bitch east of the Conneticut River.

When it comes to Drum N Bass, I have been playing everything from liquid funk-tech step lately depending on the gig. House: I play mostly Tech-House, Deep & Minimal, I steer away from Vocal & Poppy house for obvious reasons.

My track record speaks for itself. I run a weekly Drum N Bass event, FLUID (Northampton, MA),which has been running for almost 4 years now!!!

I Have also started an additional production company called SPECIAL BLEND, which focuses on multi- genre musical events and will feature Jam Bands, House & Techno, Dubstep & much more!!

I have also had some greats times playing major events such as:
Camp Bisco IV+V+VI
The oldest DNB weekly in The World, KONKRETE JUNGLE
Breakbeat Science's renown DNB monthly on NYC largest sound system, The Secret Night of Science,
New England's 9 year old DNB weekly ELEMENTS
The longest running event on The West Coast (Los Angeles) RESPECT
& Many, Many More events in New England & beyond

Personal Interest:
Obviously music plays a huge part in my life, but i also enjoy hiking with my dog & my girlfriend, biking, fishing with my lil brother, drawing, art of all sorts, graffiti, 4th dimensional travel, shamanism, science, especially plant science, fine beer, fine wine, fine dining & good company. LOUD FUCKING MUSIC, resisting authority, riots, ninjas, pirates, vikings, knives, swords, making fun of meatheads, making fun of hippies, even though some people call me one sometimes, having a sense of humor, never taking life too seriously, Event Production, street promotion, building tree-houses, I really like to create unique experiences for my friends and fellow party goers. Travel. A few years ago i traveled to Peru, where i spent alot of time in the largest isolated jungle city in the world, IQUITOS, which is a city of 400K in the middle of nowhere. I also spent a week in the rainforest, and several days in LIMA, the capital of PERU. In the rain forest i studied Shamanism and spiritual/herbal healing. I have also been to many major cities in the past couple years including Baltimore MD, Boulder CO, Denver CO, Burlington VT, Boston MA (weekly), NYC, Chicago IL, Miami FL, Montreal Canada, Philadelphia PA, Portland OR, Salem OR, Eugene OR, San Fransisco Ca, Santa Cruz CA, Los Angeles Ca, San Diego Ca, Pittsburgh PA. Washington DC.

I'd like to meet:

Currently, I am looking for several eager young women 21+ to work as street promoters, please inquire here. Other DJs, Label Owners, Promoters, Club Owners or booking agents. Fans of Drum & Bass music, people from Massachusetts, New England, or the Amherst/Northampton area. People who like to party...but only people who party for real. Softcore kids need not apply...most importantly I'd like to meet anyone who realizes that this music thing transcends the entertainment industry - it's not just something to listen to while driving to work. It's something many people breathe, eat, sleep, shit, live, and best of all, create. It's the most important thing in my life, period. I would like to meet those that have been given the gift of a 24-hour-a-day radio station in their heads. And those that have made the effort to channel it into their own artistic endeavours. And those who wish they had one, but contribute by moving their bodies and minds to the music of others.
