Aaron Waters (a.k.a DJ Durty) came into music the
way most do. He broke out an old guitar at the age of
of 13 to play loud-ass music. Initially influenced by such
gospel acts as Metallica, Pantera, Morbid Angel,
Megadeth, etc., he later went on to form two metal
bands in Tallahassee, Florida. At the age of 21, Durty
joined the Army, and after basic training, was sent to
the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California.
He was then instantly submersed in the rich Dance Music
scene that exists in Northern California. After only a few
months of being exposed to electronic music in clubs and
raves, Durty saw the need to explore the inter-workings
of how electronic music was made and arranged. He
started by using Fruity Loops in his spare time and after
few months, also picked up DJiing. In early 2004, Durty
began to DJ at raves and a few club events in San
Francisco. After much trial, and even more error,
Durty began playing his own production out in Summer,
2004. He struggled to find a sound that would best suit
his gigs, but found his production falling below par. But
after spending some time with a few UK producers (the
ones who pioneer the music he was writing) Durty found
his main sound. He still typically loses it when he gets
really drunk, only to be found next to his car keys.
Anyways, Durty buckled down, spent too much money,
and stayed up way too late at night to finish his first artist
album, Nautical, which was released independantly on
December 4th, 2004. He continues to produce and to do
collaborations, as well as DJ in the Bay Area and Monterey.
He is currently putting together his second album with a
targeted release around early 2007.Join my mailing list and get Digital D&A Promo stuff!!!
