About Me
A huge fan of music, Narcosis has been drawn to diverse genres all of his life...soul/funk of the seventies, synth-pop in the eighties, grunge and industrial in the nineties. It wasn't until breaks hit the airwaves (Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, and Fatboy Slim were hitting the Billboard charts) did he start to fall in love with music. Regularly attending raves, Narcosis caught the bug for electronic music. The foreign sounds of house, techno, drum and bass, and breaks became the only music worth listening to. For eight years, Narcosis delved into the many genres of electronic music, grooving to anything he could get his hands on. The urge to share this passion began to grow and the purchase of his Technics 1200s, CDJ 800s, and a Pioneer DJM 500 was inevitable. He became DJ Narcosis and started to focus on his true love in electronic music, the breakbeat.Within the last few years Narcosis has developed his own sound, intertwining techy breaks with beat-filled techno and electro-induced house. The floors stay full, luring party goers with the familiar, slaying them with the underground. You may have experienced "Narcosis" at a number of lounges ( Xes, Mercury, Upstairs Lounge, Atomic Cowboy, Drunken Fish, Rue 13, U609, Lava Lounge, and Red Sea), bar/restaurants (Mosaic, Lafeyette's, 313), clubs (Dante's, Ten14, Level, Kyo, Oz, Europe), exclusive parties (Boombox II - St. Pete, FL; Essential Breaks 2.0 - Miami, FL; Lake Side Vibes 1 & 2 - Lake of the Ozarks, MO; Velocity Winter Showcase; Party in the Park IV and VI; Pridefest '06; Riverspin 1; and the wrap party for Hollywood production - "Ghost Image"), and his weekly and monthly residencies (The Side Door, Molly's Lounge, Urban Lounge, Upstairs Lounge, Feisty Bulldog). He also hosts a top rated weekly radio show called "Fractured Breaks" on ibreaks.co.uk featuring top breaks talent from around the world (Madox, Elite Force, Simply Jeff to name a few) every Sunday 6-8pm CST.As a spin-off of the successful radio show, Narcosis has also started a company called "Fractured Productions" aimed at promoting the breakbeat sound throughout the region. The goal of Fractured is growing a regional breaks scene that can support itself through promotion and education. Currently, Narcosis runs three monthlies (Molly's Lounge, Upstairs Lounge, Fiesty Bulldog) that showcase talented upcoming and veteran DJs and provide a venue for those to celebrate their love of the beat.All of this hard work is starting to pay off for Narcosis as his knack for dropping the beat that gets the booty shaking. Look out for him opening for one of your favorite headliners (Stanton Warriors, Adam Freeland, BassNectar) or a party near you as doors continue to open for this talented DJ.
