About Me


Music Bio:
I went to school at Schenectady County Community College for music in 2001 which I learned how to play guitar, piano, sing and read music. I started writing electronic music in 1998 but I didn't start writing seriously until 2001 when I started attending classes. With my classical background, I started getting new ideas and approaches to writing electronic music so I started playing a little bit of electric guitar, acoustic guitar and keyboard in my music but the electronic aspects of my work are my main areas of concentration. I don't plan on performing live, I prefer to write my music as a studio musician, writing electronic dance music of every genre, movie scores and soundtracks.
DJing Bio:
I have been a long time listener of electronic dance music since my childhood in the 1980s. In the 1990s I have heard and seen so many DJs spinning, that at the end of the 90s, I decided I wanted to spin and contribute to the scene as well. Throughout the 90s, I started buying Techno and House records on a regular basis.
In 2001, I bought my turntables and got right down to it. I practiced everyday spinning records and experimenting with my mixing gear.
In 2002, I did an open turntable night in Albany, NY spinning Breaks for a crowd of 20 people. I did some other small gigs in 2003-2004 just to get my name around town and to give back to the scene.
In 2004, I moved out to Las Vegas to bring my own style to the west coast. I have been spinning rave parties on and off for the remainder of 2005, spinning Hard Trance, Hardstyle, Techno, Progressive House, Breaks and Acid.
In 2006, I decided to take a break from playing out for awhile. I directed my attention on doing mixes for the internet, participating in online mix competitions showcasing a different genre each time. The mix I did entitled "Crawling Around 6 Feet Under" is a Drum n Bass mix which won me a victory in the "Are You Afraid of the Dark" Halloween Mix Competition where I also included two of my own original remixes of The Halloween Theme (DG's Haunted Dungeon Remix) and Michael Jackson - Thriller (DG's Deadly Killah Mix) both set up with the Drum n Bass formula. You can download that set in my blog.
Currently, I have my monthly radio show on the Classic Electronica Channel on Digitally Imported Radio with my Building Block Series which I showcase the finest in underground Techno, Trance, House, Acid and Rave tracks from the late 80s and early 90s. My show is on the first Wednesday of every month at 2 PM US EST/11:00 AM US PST. Those shows are also in my blog on here or on my DJing page.
I just recently made a graphic design page if you want to see my drawings, paintings and computer graphics work. I'm also on Frapper so give those a peep.
I also do a bi-weekly show on Friday nights with Lil Rascals, MSG Coated, FA DJ and other special guests called The Absinthe Sessions which airs 12:00 AM US EST/9:00 PM US PST. Click the banner below for more information on The Absinthe Sessions.
