Creative Experience/Web Ecosystems/EBM and Industrial DJ

About Me


Web Development and Design

Primarily, my focus is on constantly gathering information about the philosophy ofWeb development and human behaviour in general. This knowledge is then applied to mydaily profession as an IT Developer.

Life as an EBM/Industrial DJ

The successful Propagandaparty events , the brainchild from a good friend of mine, is an afterhours focus.

Here I maintain/design of the official website, and DJ new and old EBM/Industrial. I was also part of the original brainstorming group.

Other events/clubs where I DJed:

    Attrition: Unlimited cocktails and great atmosphere. Bubblegum II: The controversial and ultimately successful pink event. Genesis: Played a mixture of goth, EBM and Futurepop. Zeplins Nightclub: Official Zeplins EBM/Industrial/Darkwave DJ.
Electronic Music Production

Another part-time hobby is the production of Electronic Music, with strong emphasis on the dark side of experimental dance music.

Cyvergence: Dark Electronic Dance

The production of hard electronic dance music (almost fits within the experimental IDM genre), where I study and try to push the extremes of distorted digital sounds.
