Formless

BIO:
I am a thought full, open minded individual, greatfull to be alive. My mind is down to earth, cosmic and universal, even though I was born and raised in a small town. I happen to be obsessed with music! There is alot more to me than what's posted here obviously, but this may be helpful...
DJing History:
In 97' I got into electronic music through the Amp and the Hackers soundtracks, both of which included the best modern EDM at the time and introduced me to groups/DJs like the Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Orbital, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Aphex Twin and Prodigy. Through these core artists I developed a addiction to EDM, culminating in a vision of me rocking a crowd, with electronic music at a house party! This spurred me to ask my parents for a DJ-in-a-box kit for my B-day, which I received for my 17th in 2000. That year also brought me to my first rave, SpringFest 2000, which was amazing, introducing me to the sub-culture. Self-Taught, I followed my inspiration, and continue to do so, forging ahead with my own "Formless" sound of funky/hard/wobbly/fidgety/progressive/techy electro house/breaks, dub-step, techno, tribal, and occationaly electro/melodic trance. My style also integrates elements of rock, hip-hop, funk, reggae and mixer tricks throughout. Through my intense, eclectic mixing style, I've gained the respect of my DJ peers, as well as a sizable following of fans. Without the support of my family and friends, I truley wouldn't be anywere!! I owe soo much to them.
After DJing consistantly day in and out for 9 years, and playing out for 7, I have put out 9 mix CDs, and continue to release highly conceptualized demos.. I am striving to help the EDM scene as much as I can by introducing new people to it everyday, occationaly throwing events, promoting shows and playing out as much as possible. My abilities have taken me to Reno, Sacramento, San Francisco, LA, Humbolt, and as far as Oregon and Utah, as well as countless outdoor spots in the Sierra Mountains area. Ive played with such international talent as Frankie Bones, Dylan Rhymes, Geezer, Dave Ralph, D:Fuse, DJ Dan, The BreakFastaz, Uberzone, Heavyweight Dub Champions, Bassbintwins, Dave Dresden, Mars, Viro, Mancub, Mystre, Keith Mackinsey, Danny the Wildchild, J-Breaks, Josh the Funky 1 and J-Bass. Ive also had the fortune to play with such local artists as Dragnfly, Dyloot, Forest Green, Denise, Ron Reeser, Dutch, Gamma, Mek, Cantos, Gianni, Company Truck, Vince Lombardi, Kiro, Nick Nyquil, Liam Shy, Adam Ant, Andy P and Undecided. The dance crews I am affiliated with include: United Vibes, Desert Tribe, Starry Eyed and Other Promotions. I have also played at shows for all the other major local crews, including: Stilldream, Lite-Bright, Midnite Entertainment, Foriegn Blend, Progreshiva Productions, Collective Conscious, Classic Grooves, Starry Eyed, Kryptonite, B.A.M., Shaolin, R.P.M. and Another-Level.
Im also deeply interested in philosophy, metaphysics, psychology(transpersonal), art(of all types), consciousness studies, the quantum sciences, spirituality, the occult, magick, shamanism, politics, different yogas, and mysticism. Some of my influences in those feilds include but are not limited to; Carlos Castanada, Alex Gray, Robert Anton Wilson, Terrance Mckenna, Aliester Crowley, Michael Talbot, Drunvolo Malchezideck, Mahayana Bhuddism, Edgar Cayce and G.I. Gurdjeff. I was raised without a religion, but consider myself a spiritual person, as many of the worlds religions interest me.
I used to be realy big into drawing up until my high school graduation, upon which my focus more or less shifted towards my music as I got better at DJing and got more into electronic music. My art resume includes: Lessons at the Iron Gate, Art class in 8th grade, then in high school I took Drawing, Advanced Drawing, 3D art, Beggining Art, Intermediate Art, Advanced Art, and Advanced Art Honors.
