Brisk As The Beats

About Me

: The magnitude of movement or the variation in length.
Who is Kinetic Distortion?
Kinetic Distortion is a purveyor of multiple electronica styles including Trance, Jungle, BreakBeat, DownTempo, Industrial and House.
Inspiration
The total environment, life in all its banality and glory, serve to inspire the creative process with Kinetic Distortion. But one thing in particular stands out the sounds of life. "If a song or sound grabs my attention and makes me examine it in every detail, it is inspiration. Most of my favorite bands are more audio chemists to me than musicians". The forest for the trees. Kinetic Distortion examines the whole picture, the sum total of a song, atmosphere, feel and end result on the audience this is the key to Kinetic Distortion's sparkling songwriting. This is an artist that would rather blaze a new trail than follow in the footsteps of others. Kinetic Distortion has discovered in the audio world the long sought secrets of alchemy.
And the Award Goes To ...
Kinetic Distortion won second place in a remix contest sponsored by the massive mp3.com by doing his own take on the Groove Armada song, I See You Baby. Also, Kinetic Distortion has opened for the likes of a number of hot Los Angeles DJs and musicians, among them Thee-O, Kristina Sky, Speaker Junkies, 303 Infinity and more. That's a form of honor in itself, to be tapped to share stage time with other important artists. Kinetic Distortion got a chance to headline at Return 2006 for an audience of more than 1,000.
Brisk as the Beats
The same catchy pace that drives the beats of some of K.D.'s music is the pulse that you'll find in the working life of Kinetic Distortion. New songs come out of the brain of Jus Joe on a daily basis and this year will boast the release of not one, but 2 albums. Trance will be the core of one of these, while the other will present the power of Kinetic Distortion's DownTempo work, not to mention a release of remixes.
You Must Know This
One thing that must be understood by Kinetic Distortion is the artist's insistence on eclecticism. Such expansive artistry and energy goes into the creative life of Kinetic Distortion that genre confinement is simply not possible. "I cannot stick to one genre; I love and am inspired by all genres (electronic, as well as pop, rock, classical, jazz, experimental, etc.) and I do not want to constrict myself to one type or style of music."
Hungry
There is one other thing you should understand about Kinetic Distortion... the hunger. New projects are always welcome, of whatever stripe. Be it television, movies, video games, remixing, touring, producing, recording. Kinetic Distortion is desirous of dipping into all aspects of the musical world. One last word from Kinetic Distortion: "I pride myself in having a great live set that always changes each time I perform. I improvise a lot and if something I do gets the crowd's attention, I can cater to that on the fly". It's all about realtime feedback, baby.
