About Me

LOOKING FOR MY MUSIC!?
To make things easier to find for you guys you'll find a new-fangled music player on this page that will stream my latest DJ mixes and original production... If you'd like to download anything you hear (and more) and burn a copy or jam it on your iPod, I encourage you to check out my music page . As always, I welcome your feedback and comments...



You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.

You will not hear me say: bottom line, game plan, role model, scenario, or hopefully. I will not kick back, mellow out, or be on a roll. I will not go for it and I will not check it out; I don't even know what it is. And when I leave here I definitely will not boogie. I promise not to refer to anyone as a class act, a beautiful person or a happy camper. I will also not be saying, "What a guy!" And you will not hear me refer to anyone's lifestyle. If you want to know what a moronic word "lifestyle" is, all you have to do is realize that in a technical sense, Atilla the Hun had an active outdoor lifestyle. I will also not be saying any cute things like "moi?" And I will not use the French adverb "tres" to modify any English adjectives. Such as "tres awesome," "tres gnarly," "tres fabou," "tres intense," or "tres out-of-sight." I will not say concept when I mean idea. I will not say impacted when I mean affected. There will be no hands-on state-of-the-art networking. We will not maximize, prioritize, or finalize...and we definitely will not interface. There will also be no new-age lingo spoken here tonight. No support-group jargon from the human potential movement. For instance, I will not share anything with you. I will not relate to you and you will not identify with me. I will give you no input, and I will expect no feedback. This will not be a learning experience, nor will it be a growth period. There'll be no sharing, no caring, no birthing, no bonding, no parenting, no nurturing. We will not establish a relationship, we will not have any meaningful dialogue and we definitely will not spend any quality time. We will not be supportive of one another, so that we can get in touch with our feelings in order to feel good about ourselves. And if you're one of those people who needs a little space...please...go the fuck outside!

And, finally, here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy, which, it seems, is the only way, these days, to get the jaded, video-sated public off their fucking arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment? Bollocks. What they want is filth: people doing things to each other with chainsaws during tupperware parties, babysitters being stabbed with knitting needles by gay presidential candidates, vigilante groups strangling chickens, armed bands of theatre critics exterminating mutant goats. Where's the fun in pictures?

Government technology professional by day; DJ by night...well, sometimes during the day too, especially when I'm "working" from home...like now... Friends call me a neo-fascist hippy...pretty sure I don't wanna know what my non-friends call me... Not quite a gym rat, but getting there... Happy husband and father of 4...no, that's not a typo: 4! Brian, Kristina, Faerlan, and McKenna, all of them chips of this old block in one way or another--Faerlan much more than the others. In looking thru the mirror at her, I've noticed that I am one lazy SOB... ask my wife, she'll tell you (about the both of us)...

I spin a hodgepodge of EDM genres with tribally progressive tech-house as the core. Most of my club gigs are in the DC Metro area, including appearances at Cubik/ALIAS@Nation, MCCXXIII, Phoenix Rising@Singapore Bistro, Transit@Bridges, FUR, Home Ultra Lounge, Dragonfly, Zaaza, and Paradox to name a few. You can check out my studio mixes at:

ramZvents Media Services

This mix/bio page has pretty much all of the studio mixes that I've done over the last year or so... Feel free to download/stream anything that's up there and give me your feedback! I count you guys as a valuable resource to my continual improvement as a DJ and performer. Pretty much everything up there is also available as a hard copy CD if you find yourself in need/want/desperate pining for one... Hit me with a message, and I'll be happy to post one or more CDs out to you...

I love talking politics, refuting the scientific methodologies employed in proving anthropomorphic impacts on climate change (and crushing the spirits of hardcore environazis everywhere), pointing out the hypocritical use of environmentalism as a weapon of class warfare and limitation of personal choice, etc. Though I'm registered as an Independent, and have been since I was 18, the precepts of the Libertarian party speak most to me. Largely the idea that the government is not an institution established to protect the stupid from themselves is most appealing. I revile at silly things like vegetarianism, hardcore religious fundamentalism (of any faith), religious entanglement with the affairs of state, especially as represented through our present Cunnilingus in Chief, whacko tin-foil hattery, crystal bearing group huggery, and virtually all ideals and belief systems established far afield of scientific method.

I believe that there is no such thing as "truth". I believe that persons, not governments, are ultimately responsible for charity to their fellow man. I believe that our society has fallen well outside the boundaries of reality by continually representing the ideal situation rather than how things actually are (in kids' TV, for example, nurses are always male and doctors are always female...ugh...). I believe in a concrete and unbreakable and strictly linear relationship between cause and effect (except in the case of quantum mechanics, of course). I believe in Occum's Razor. I believe in the Principle of Sufficient Reasoning. I believe in being honest and straightforward in my personal and professional dealings. I believe that a generation of children raised by entities other than parents--who fail to cowboy up and embrace their responsibilities--dooms the precariously balanced future of our society.

All-in-all, though, I'm just a friendly, talkative guy that loves meeting people, sharing ideas, and tossing back my weight in RBVs (Red Bull Vodkas for the uninformed).

PLEASE NOTE: If you are promoting, producing, "singing" the same bullshit as I'm hearing on the radio these days, please don't bother to Friend Add me. Contrary to what you might believe, I personally screen all of my friend requests and have no desire to further promulgate your ass sounds into my life or the lives of others... If you find yourself inspired or sounding like anyone on the KISS stations, please, please, just fuck off and save us both some time and energy... Thank you... Now on with your regularly scheduled programming...
