About Me

Neil, aka ArcOne, aka TapeOp, aka Nelvis.I am a freelance studio engineer currently living in Salt Lake City. I also run live sound systems. I am fascinated by the manipulation of sound. I have serious addictions to records, sneakers, loudspeakers and di high grade mota. Ain't a damn thing changed.

I have been mixing and scratching for 11 years and have been buying records even longer. I have been able to supplement my vinyl addiction over the years by working at Freeburning Record Store in Los Angeles and Memory Lane Records in Tempe, Arizona. I don't work for either of these stores but if you are looking for good wax hit em' up If you are into Hip Hop, Funk, Jazz, Jungle, DNB, IDM and Hardcore then peep my discogs profile . I have doubles of many records listed in the profile. If you are interested in a trade, hit me up.Oh yeah..

I polished my myspace turd with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

Primarily (but not limited to): Recording, electronics, graffiti art, vinyl records (espescially hard electronic sh*t, old rock, hip hop, jazz, funk, reggae). finding out how sh*t works, tattoos, making out, mixing records that were never intended to go together, listening to new things (not just music), the history and preservation of real analog recording.

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, programers, people down for record trades, old friends... Don't ask to be "friends" with me if you are involved in the manufacture, production, sale, or marketing of pop music. The best thing you could do for the world is kill yourself.
