About Me

After many nomadic years spent travelling the world, i ended up in San Francisco, playing music and doing events with the 5lowershop collective. I was introduced to 5lowershop through SPAZ, and the Autonomous Mutant Festival in 1998 (www.mutantfest.org). I have been spearheading the soundsystem ~ Army of Love ~, for about 8 years. After touring in Australia in 1999-2000 (Earthdream), i was inspired by the Solar Labrats, to convert a schoolbus to run on vegetable oil, and have since clocked, I don't know how many thousands of miles, touring all over the U.S, canada, and Baja, dj'ing, playing live electronic sets, and setting up sound at underground warehouse parties, and outdoor renegade events, causing mayhem wherever possible. Over the past couple years i have slowly relocated to a remote location in the mountains of northern california, but i still make my way to the bay area, and on other travels whenever possible, especially when i need to get my fix of crazy music, and be around the energy of all the insane brilliant peops that i know and love to make shit happen with. I am into collaboration musically, protest with sound, rooms full of dancing people, and creating soundscape environments incorporating and maximizing thee utmost possible Bass......
