About Me

Hardplace Recordings has just celebrated their first year in business by releasing "Hard So Far". A compilation of their best songs from the year.

Available now at Beatport.com . This compilation features two of my originals and a remix I did for Ryan Thompson.

"What U Feel" was remixed by Toronto's Deadmau5. This remix is an original sound for Deadmau5. Glenn Morrison said the track reminds him more of DJ Switch. It's strictly Electro House and it's a bangin' track.

"Night After Night" was remixed by the legendary DJ Hipp-E. His remix was really original and I really just love the way it makes me feel when I listen to it. G-o-o-o-o-ovy

These two tracks and eight more are available now at Beatport.com .

Out of my cave

It was a long winter in Portland. I was in my recording studio most of the time. I've got many new songs and remixes to unleash over the next few months. I just figured out how to use Traktor Scrat...
