About Me

Born and raised in the Canadian prairies, I began as an industrial producer in the early nineties. A fortunate bonding with the legendary PPM production company in Saskatoon brought on a love for all things electronica and I soon branched out into spinning records as well as producing various forms of dance music.
Fast forward a bit past the turn of the millenium and I had developed a reputation across the prairies as one of the most diverse djs around. My sets often move from house to breaks, techno to trance and back again. I love to change things up a lot and make things challenging for both myself and the audience.
Eventually I released a bootleg mashup which gathered attention worldwide with dj's and party-goers alike and soon after was signed to Pure Phunk Recordings, based out of Toronto.

On other fronts, I have worked now for years with western Canada's horror rockers, "The New Jacobin Club", as their drummer and programmer, with whom I have recorded two full length albums and is currently working on their remixes.
Future releases include a remix of Stabilizer's "Super High Cal" on Stellar Music, and possible works released on Systematica Records who released Sister Sinister to critical acclaim in the spring of 2007. I'm also currently working on a few other projects including C69(an electro rock group involving Tara Dupuis from the New Jacobin Club)and my solo rock/industrial/tribal whatever project which you can check out by listening to "Living in the Rose" in my player on this site. More to come on that project soon!
