Music... Clubs.. Life...

About Me

A musician first, clubber second, and now, an amazingly diverse and moving dj, Donald's passion for all genres of music has touched the lives of his followers with each tour he leaves behind. He expertly blends his signature style of tribal drums, melodic chords, sexy vocals, and perfect programming to create a true sense of euphoria on the dancefloor. His productions evoke the same feeling as his dj sets-epic, cinematic soundscapes, taking listeners on a journey with tight drum patterns, emotional breakdowns, and spectacular finishes. If you have yet to see him live, feel free to download mixes at his website, grab a glass of bubbly, and get ready to dance! He programs his sets to take listeners on a journey, slipping in and out of the sounds of dreamy West Coast house, deep and hard techno, funky tribal workouts, and his beloved progressive and epic trance. In the studio, he is just as comfortable producing funky house and hard trance as he is composing his signature blend of deep, ethreal, moving electronica and breaks... He is the brainchild behind Embarcadero Records as well as the head producer of bands Moroccan Lover and Tibetan Monks. Inspired by natural wonders of the world, vast traveling, and memorable life experiences, every song that he composes or chooses to remix has a story behind it.
