About Me

THE POETIKSOUNDS FAMILY: Dano, JeffTheSoundMan, Tommy Boy, Jahsafat, Dook, Woo, Sarah Burns, Maelstrom, Cameron ..*UPCOMING SHOWS*(VIEW BLOG FOR DETAILS ON EVENTS) 05.31.07::Theater-X (Escondido)~~~07.22.07::SUMMER SESSION 2 =one year anniversary= San Diego::------------------------------DJ BIO: In the past 11 years, this Poetiksounds founder has found a way to make the rave culture a part of his life. Doing everything from DJ interviews and event pictures to production and booking talent. Hailing from San Diego, he's well-known for his infamous house parties, and his ability to find a way to make everyone dance. His versatile style of house will keep you guessing what track is coming up next. Whether you like it deep, funky, jazzy, electrofied, or progressive...he has the music for your taste buds and the energy for your soul. His interest for electronica music began in 1995 when his friends invited him to his first rave, 'Crunchies', held in his hometown of Escondido, at the Ups 'N' Downs Skating Rink. His amazement at how the DJ performed to make the crowd so peaceful, yet so energetic, is what got him hooked. From then on his goal was to bring the masses together. In the summer of '95, he continued what he found at Crunchies, throwing a series of events known as the infamous 'BOUNCE' micro-raves. His hometown was not too big on the idea of all-night dance events, but that didn't stop this jack-of-all-trades to pursue his never-ending pursuit of happiness. And what is it that makes this DJ happy, you say? It's making you experience one of the best nights of your life. Seeing you rock out and groove to the tunes that he presents to you allowing the force of sound to absorb within your soul. 4 years later in '99, he was introduced to the LA scene and quickly became involved with several crews, such as, Matrix Family Ent., SkyWay Ent., and San Diegos own, Fundamental Entertainment, helping him establish recognition. His influences (Thee-O, Nic Nax, Felix Da HouseCat, DRC, Bad Boy Bill, Richard Humpty Vission, Angel Alanis, Denise, Keoki, and John Kelley, to name a few) are how he helped find the sound he plays today. In 2001, Dano went on hiatus, as he was unable to continue his career, forcing him to step aside from the scene he grew to love so much. But in 2006, Dano came back to the culture in full force throwing and collaborating in a series of events that finally put POETIKSOUNDS on the map. Later on that year, he became a resident DJ of the Los Angeles production crew, Neosapiens, and has been featured at past events such as SPACE OPERA THANK YOU, MUSIC FOR ROBOTS, and his own SUMMER SESSION. One of his goals is to bring the two cities where he experienced the rave culture, San Diego and Los Angeles closer together, and he has suceeded at the event ASTRAL BITS, and he's hoping to see the same accomplishment at BINARY HISTORY.November 11th, 2006, Poetiksounds collaborated with L.A. crew, Neosapiens for ASTRAL BITS held at the Raver Ranch in the Angeles National Forest. we hosted the HOUSE area which consisted of Poetiksounds residents Woo & Cam, Jeff The Sound Man, Dano (myself) & Sarah Burns including other SD DJ's Phon, Johnathan Brae, and Dj Abel.July 22nd, 2006, over 150 people ventured to "THE PAD" where we had our biggest, most successful, and funnest event yet. there were no major problems with the ravers, neighbors, or the police. SUMMER SESSION exceeded our expectations and we want to thank you for respecting the venue.I edited my profile at Doobix.com
