The Degenerate

2007 - THE YEAR OF TRAVEL
Its now that time in my life I have decided to get myself overseas to visit friends, places and see the world.
I plan to be going through Japan, Canada, Alaska and most of Western Europe. If anyone can offer tips for certain places I would be very grateful.
PLEASE READ - Dont add me to your lists unless you give me a message as to why you choose to add me. Of course if I already know you from some distant acquaintance or I can see we have common interests or of course if you want a pic of some guy on your Friends list that looks like a wannabe hippy in his profile photo.
IF I HAVE ADDED YOU -
A) It is most likely because I know you.
B) You are a musical influence on myself.
C) We share similar interests.
D) I like the cut of your jib.
E) According to me you are hot, really hot.
I have been DJing Melbourne clubs, dance parties and raves since the late 90's. But I this has taken a back seat due to my commitments elsewhere, I only play out a few times a year now. I have played at events such as Slinky, Two Tribes, Hardware Universe, Welcome, Chinese Laundry, Adventjah, Earthcore.
I have supported the likes of Thomas Schumacher, Mistress Barbara, Slam, Thomas Krome, Samuel L Sessions, Funk D'Void, Marco Carola, Patrick Lindsey, Dr Motte, Chris Liberator, Jeff Mills, Monika Kruse, Laurent Garnier, Pacou, Ade Fenton, Marco Bailey and Sven Vath. Among these artists I occassionally get to be the chauffer for these artists when they come to town.
Starting in 2002 and in conjunction with a good friend of mine I ran my own business, an independent record label and Melboure artist management company, Melbourne Techno Massive.Unfortunately the niche market we were aiming for was to niche for an indepent Melbourne label to survive purely in Australia with out the help of mass distribution to lament a stable overseas market.

I have re-released a track produced back in 2003 originally for my own record label but is now in available for sale via Beatport.com or in a mix with some of Toronto's finest underground electronic producers THEME:416.
While checking out THEME:416 take a look at my good friends podcasts about music production from Toronto Canada - LX7.CA
As for my hobbies...I will give most things a go at least once, but regularly I enjoy bodyboarding, snowboarding, (attempting) wakeboarding, stamp collecting, pencil eraser displays and various other non-mentally strenuous activities. Radio presenting, producing electronic music and DJing. Check out Missing Unit as this is the label on which I have made my re-release.
