Music is My Answer... To Your Problems...

About Me

What? Why would you want to know anything about me?!?! No one important over here... But I guess that might not be true seeing that I have a few friends underneath my belt... not literally because if that was the case I would be a MUCH happier individual. Thanks for taking the time to scan my page & spit a comment or three...Basically I am individual whom resides in Boston, MA. I am a MASSHOLE to the fullest in the extent that I was born & raised in MA. But thanks to the education shoved into my skull I lost my accent & basically became RETARDED... I love music... ALL FORMS of music. I DJ Deep House & Downtempo. Throw in almost any form of music & I am sure I can start a set or two...I am a small part of a record label called Bassmint Recordings LLC... There are 3 of us in total... you can see them in my friends section. As for production, I currently have some EPs I plan on shopping in January... 4 in fact. One EP will feat. a www.marzentertainment.com EP of collaborations between Marz & Mint... The 2nd EP comprises of all originals by some schmuck named Carl... & the 3rd EP will be a Bassmint EP release. & I am out of ideas now... but at least I spit some hot fire!!!2006 has been fantastic in that I have been able to meet more of the artists & musicians in the electronic music genre that have inspired me while @ the same time search back into the classics for a stronger foundation. I have fallen head over heals into jazz & classic rock of the late with a little side of blues. No expert hear... still a sweating beginner in all of this... but isn't that part of the excitement of it all?2007 has started off with an explosion. I have landed two solid residencies in two different venues in NH. You can typically catch me in Portsmouth, NH once a month on Thursday night residency at www.reddoorportsmouth.com & then once a month on Saturday @ www.doversoul.com These two hot spots have an incredible vibe of young college students & young professionals in an around the northeast. We have been very fortunate enough to host guest spots to many rising talents in the house scene. I get myspace layouts at UltimateMySpace.com. Get this layout
