Bio:
A musician and entertainer since an early age, Alan is skilled on several instruments from keyboards to strings. While growing up outside of Cleveland, OH, well before dedicating himself to the turntables and mixing board, Alan picked up the guitar. He spent several years gaining valuable classical guitar training, while simultaneously finding his harder edge on the electric guitar. Thick, driving distortions and drop-d tunings were the bread and butter of his upfront style.
Alan went on to spend several years working clubs in and around the Ohio State University campus as a guitarist. Collaboration with Columbus based record label, Datapanik Records, and several hours in the recording studio, led to the inclusion of his band Steamshovel's work, along with 30 other local and national actson a double CD tribute to the seminal avant-garde rock band Pere Ubu.
Alan's interest in electronic music began in the late 80s listening to music by the likes of Kraftwerk, the Orb, & 808 State, and industrial acts such as Ministry and KMFDM. His first introduction to proper house and techno music, and the art of DJing, was during the early 90s when he established himself in the Midwest rave scene working, promoting, and supporting events from Detroit to Pittsburgh,
Presently, in the recording studio, Alan dedicates himself to original production and remix work spanning the genres of house and techno. Never complacent, Alan continually evolves his style to satisfy the thirst for new and creative material, and challenge the scene musically while staying true to himself and his roots. His DJing style is geared toward creating a great vibe for the party through impeccable programming and seamless mixing skills. His soundtracks range from tech-house and techno to acid, deep and classic house, while maintaining a solid, clubby groove.
As a staple in Miami now for a number of years, Alan’s DJ sets are continually featured on various FM, Internet, and satellite based radio programs. He maintains residencies and regular guest appearances throughout South Florida, which have recently included warm-up spots for Chicago tech-house masters Mazi and Terry Mullan.
