About Me

Los Angeles is my home and I will rep LA till the day I die. What a city. I am a graduate of UCSB and pretty much an eclectic mix of a multitude of odd passions and lusts. I thoroughly enjoy a nice aged progressive beat and conversely the serene feel of a old prestigious golf course. Since I first heard drum and bass, house and eventually the hard edged sounds of electro and prog, my life has not been the same. It simply moves me in more ways than one. I mostly groove the finely tuned, digitized sounds of Europe. But I am impartial to location. Since then I have aspired to become a DJ/producer and will work on becoming as great as I can. Innovation and originality drives me. I despise ordinary and love progress. I love meeting new people from differing walks of life and parts of the world. I lived in London for four months and cannot wait to go back to a more enlightened part of the world. I work in business/entertainment and finance world, but remain a democrat (You can have money...lots of it and still be a liberal). Politically I feel this world is fucked (for that very reason and others), But thats another story. I watch a huge amount of sports, movies and starting to enjoy some TV. I play constant golf, and show no signs of slowing down. Basically I love life and treat each day like I could be my last.
