About Me

George's DJ career began in the vast frosty wasteland of Antarctica. As George would only learn years later, he was the child of scientist/explorer parents, whom he was separated from at the age of six during a temperature sampling exploration headed to the South Pole. The party experienced unexpected warm temperatures, which caused the ice to break apart and left a six-year-old child floating all alone on an ice float in the bitterly cold Antarctic Ocean.
George's earliest memories include wonderful raw herring dinners and playing records on his Fisher-Price "My First Record Player" for the penguin family that found him floating at sea and kindly raised him as one of there own.
To this day, that basic child's record player, which he would only discover years later, was a present from his parents on his fifth birthday, remains at the heart of his fondest memories. Memories of seas of penguins joined in dance across the Antarctic tundra as he played his few records over and over again and again to the delight of throngs of his feathered friends and new family. Seals, sea lions, polar bears and other animals joined in the festivities and rejoiced in joyous dance.
Here in the harshest of earthly environments, George learned we can dance and rejoice as one, as animals that were normally mortal enemies, predators and prey, put aside instinct and millions of years of evolution to step in time to that faint, thin Fisher-Price beat.
Jumping forward to today.. George now Dj's with, and for, humans. Some of these "humans" are Bad Boy Bill, Dj Dan, Richard Vission, Donald Glaude, Terry Mullan, Alex Peace, CZR, Angel Alanis, Hatiras, Keoki, Frankie Bones, Commander Tom, Chris Liberator, Nigel Richards, Stacy Kidd, Steve 'Silk' Hurley, Roy Davis Jr, Dj Pierre, Doc Martin, E-Smoove, Eddie Amador, David Garcia, Johnny Fiasco, Eric Davenport, Joey Youngman, East Coast Boogiemen, Bryan Cox, Micro, Darude, Accidental Heroes, Danny The Wild Child, Silver, Shy FX, XXXL, Hazen, R.A.W., CRS?, Friction, Freaky Flow, Phantom 45, Simply Jeff, Dj Swamp, RITM, Astral Projection and most notably, San Diego's brightest shining star, Dj Xcite.
George quickly earned his reputation in the Southern California electronic dance music community as a rotating DJ on Los Angeles' longest running EDM show 'Power Tools' on the city's hottest station KPWR 105.9fm, 'Power 106'. Rubbing shoulders alongside Gerry Meraz, the legendary Swedish Egil and Los Angeles' most famous DJ Richard 'Humpty' Vission has helped George become seasoned beyond his years. At age 27, George has found himself becoming peers with the people he grew up idolizing.
Finding himself not content with just djing, George is now spending countless hours in production studios with some of today's hottest House and Electro producers. As one half of the production duo Panty Dropper, with talented partner Alternative Reality, you can expect to hear dancefloor burners all summer long! Finding influences from many genres has assisted George in creating a stir in the scene with DJ's and fans alike standing by the decks just trying to get a peek at what the name of the track was that they had just heard.
With all efforts forward, George is consistently looking out of the box on ways to become a valuable asset to the industry. With a few tricks up his sleeve, it's certain that this young mans' future is extremely bright.
