I'm going to be changing this soon.Well lets see, I'm a Trance DJ. Pretty boring huh! Long story short, music is my life. Electronic music gives me a feeling that no other music can duplicate. It can literally erase a bad day, bring a smile to my face and then provide inspiration to push myself further as a DJ. I've been also spending a lot of time in the studio getting ready to take that next step into producing.
As far as DJ'ing, I've played up and down the Western US, over on the East Coast in New York and in Canada as well on a show called 'Select' on MTV Canada which aired to over 2,000,000 households. The show was sorta like TRL down here in the states.
I have been a resident DJ for the last 2.5 years at Seattle's top electronic nightclub, The Last Supper Club. I'm also a resident on c89.5fm where I do a special 2 hour show called "The Sound of Trance" on the last Friday night/Saturday morning of every month at 2:00am-3:00am.
My sets are airing every day on websites and forums around the world including a regular rotation on Digitally Imported Radio. They are one of the largest Electronic Music Radio stations, averaging over 50,000 listeners a day. I'm shocked that they are still airing my trance set from 2005 on a regular basis! Time to get them a new one!
Motorcycles are another area of enjoyment. I own a "crotch rocket" if thats what you want to call it. I ride with a ton of great people here in Seattle and am sorta known as "the poser" of the group.....yes I have accepted that! haha

My Interests

Hmmm, DJ'ing, clubbing, riding motorcycles, cars, collecting guns, shooting guns at the range, buying records, everyone says travelling so i won't say that, photography. I enjoy cigars and have a small collection of them. You'll find me drinking anything from Heineken to Corona to Grey Goose.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can make this damn myspace page look good, I have no clue what I'm doing on here! haha
I'd love to meet people who have a genuine love for music. Seeing as I spend half my life in clubs, it's always nice to find more people to go out with. Also people who are involved in production companies, record labels, other dj's etc etc. Heck even meeting a few more fellow closet rockers like me would be fun.
..

Music:

Oh boy, this one could go on forever! Anything Trance (progressive, uplifting, hard, euphoric, etc etc) is what really does it for me! I love anything from Hernan Cattaneo blowing up a club with some chunky progressive at 130bpm all the way to Paul Van Dyk or Tiesto blowing up a show of 10,000 people with their uplifting anthems. I'm also a huge closet rocker as well. I love slipknot. Those guys have some crazy music and they put on a killer live show. I also like Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, White Zombie, Korn, Alice in Chains, Living Color, Pantera, Rage against the Machine, Transplants, Beck, Coldplay. I also enjoy Buena Vista Social Club which is some damn good cuban music.As far as artists that I enjoy, listen to or own records by: Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Sasha, Armin Van Buuren, Deep Dish, Ferry Corsten, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Blank & Jones' old stuff, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Above & Beyond, Gabriel & Dresden, James Holden, Christopher Lawrence, Donald Glaude, Max Graham, Agnelli & Nelson, Hybrid, Prodigy, Chicane, Tall Paul, Dousk, Underworld, Josh Wink, Thrillseekers, Junkie XL, Deepsky, Way Out West, Dave Ralph, Kosmas Epsilon, Kyau vs. Albert, L-vee, Ronski Speed, SolarStone, John Askew, Steve Porter to name a few. I'm going to stop with that right now but I promise there are hundreds more...

Movies:

BLOCKBUSTER.COM RULES! Hmm thats sad. I own a lot of DVD's but don't really go out to the movies. Not sure why.

Television:

The Office is hands down the best show on TV. I dig all the nature programs on HD channels too.. I'm always checkin out ESPN and any live sports games. The history channel and learning channel both kick ass. Anthony Bourdain's show on the travel channel called "No Reservations" rocks too! The Deadliest Catch kicks ass.

Books:

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Best book I've ever read.
