SOSJohn D. =)

John D.'s LIFE And PASSION Is "MUSIC". Although He Enjoy(s) ALL Types And Styles Of Music, "Electronic Dance Music" (The UnDeRgRoUnD), Is The Driving Force That Inspires Him To "LIVE LIFE TO IT'S FULLEST", And "BE The BEST Person Possible, For "The Scene/Humanity", And Lastly, For Himself.

John D. Had Been Introduced To The UnDeRgRoUnD Dance Music Scene In The Early 1990's. The Scene Captivated, And Enveloped His Heart And Soul. During His Very First Party/Electronic Dance Event(In Baltimore M.D.), D.J. Frank RYDE Was Spinning A Phenomenal Set) "I KNEW That I Had To Perpetuate/Cultivate "Our Scene", And Give Back To This Life Altering Experiencing That Was Happening Right There Before My Very Eyes". As Frank RYDE Destroyed The Dance floor In Baltimore That Morning, It Had Been Discussed After His Set.” I’ve GOT To Be Apart Of This"; "I BELIEVE That "We" Can Throw The Largest, Phattest EVENTS EVER Witnessed By Humanity”!! ! As A "Student Of The Scene" John D. Had Traveled, With Frank Ryde, (With A Broken Back, In A Body Cast, Cane In Hand) To Every Single Party/Electronic Dance Event That He Could Physically Attend. From Baltimore, New York, Washington D.C., Canada, Philly, Dallas, Ohio, And Of Course New Jersey John D. Watched, Listened, Learned, Loved What "We" Call "The Scene". Nearly Every Single Person Whom He Has Been Blessed To Meet, Helped Him, Taught Him To REALLY LOVE ONEANOTHER.

The Scene However Wasn’t "All Good". Shady Promoters (Throwing Fake Parties Selling Tickets And Never Even Having The Party, Calling The Police On Themselves, In Order NOT To Pay The Remaining Acts, Robbing The People Whom Attended Outright, Selling Bad Drugs, Turning Off The Water In The Bathrooms, Yes Even In The Toilet Bowls Just To Sell A Single Bottle Of Water Sometimes For $5.00 (A Single Bottle), Raping And Assaulting, SHIT Was This ILL!!!)

John D. Had Started A Newsletter Called S.ave O.ur S.cene (S.O.S.)

During This Time. He Had Talked To Those Whom Seemed To Care, And Then Written About ALL Of The Aforementioned Horrors That Were Happening More And More. No One Was Doing Anything About It, People Were Terrified, Scared, And Too Caught Up In Themselves And/Or Whatever Drug(s) They Were Taking. It Was Spreading Like Cancer. Everywhere "We" Had Traveled To, "We" Would Find Some Like-Minded Souls Hand Out The Flier, And Discuss These "Issues". (Before On-Line Blogging) The Time Had Come, To Show That "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS" And After His First Spinal Fusion, On September 25, 1995, "We" Had Thrown EMBRACE. It Was Held At The Berkley Carteret, In Asbury Park N.J... A Little Under Two Thousand (2000) Friends Attended, Danced, Felt Safe. Frankie Bones, Scott And Robbie Hard kiss, Osheen, Symbiosis (LIVE), D.J. Frank Ryde Had Performed. A Seed Had Been Planted, yet There Was "Something Missing". A Year Had Passed, And While John D. Was Convalescing/Recovering From His Second Spinal Fusion, (Nearly Paralyzed, And Still Writing The S.ave O.ur S.cene Newsletters) He Had A Re-Occurring Dream, A "VISION" If You Will To Assemble The "ULTIMATE, State Of The Art Production Company".

Utilizing The BEST Lasers, Lights, Sound, Security, Visuals, Props, To Showcase The BEST Artist In The UnDeRgRoUnD, In A Safe Legal Venue. To Throw Events That Would Re-Define What Was Available In The "Scene".

He Desperately Wanted To Share With The World What And How The Scene Was Changing His Outlook On Life And Himself. He WANTED To, NEEDED To, Give Back What The "Scene" Had Given, Exposed And Had Shared With Him. He WANTED To S.ave O.ur S.cene, So Simple, Yet As Complex As Life Itself. At This Point In Time There Were Only A Select Few Crews Throwing Large Scale Events, And As Far As A "Super Production Company" That Utilizes The Finest Technicians And Equipment, And Talent, "The Scene" Was Starving, Anxious, But Were They Ready? He Put His "Vision/Dream" Into Motion. "ALMOST" To The Day, One (1) Year Later In September Of 1996 "We" Produced EMBRACE II (E2). Again At The Berkley Carteret Hotel In Asbury Park N.J... This Time "We" Had To Use The Entire Second Floor. "We" Utilized ALL Of The Ballrooms. Headlining D.J. Juan Atkins, Adam Beyer, (The Entire Chocolate Factory) Onionz, Joeski, Sameer, And Frank Ryde, D.J. Tommy Tunes And Gonzo (Tag Teamed For The First Time Ever), The Dever, Kliprock, Rob Devs, (Remainder Of D.J. List Forth Coming). The Performances Were Outstanding, The Production Was Inspirational. "We" Spoon Fed The Tri-State Area And Quite Possibly The World A Tease Of What Was Yet To Come.

BELIEVE Was Held On New Years Eve December 31st 1996/1997 @ The Asbury Park Convention Center "We" Unleashed A Never Seen Before Production That Simply Was Purely "MAXIUM SENSORY OVERLOAD" ! ! ! As A Production Company “We" Had Felt That "The Scene" Was Ready To Come Out Of The Abandoned Warehouse, And Illegal Venues, Into A Safe, Legal Venue, And TOGETHER "We" Were Going To Redefine What An Electronic Dance Event Was.

"We" Prefer To Use The Term "Celebration Of Life", (Especially Since Rave Was Considered An Evil Term, Prejudicially Linked To "Illegal-On-Goings") "We" DO NOT Support Drug Distribution, Or Abuse Of Drugs!! ! And Besides "We" Were There To Cultivate And Help Develop The Music. That Was/Is Exactly What "We" ALL Were Doing. On December 31st 1996/1997 "We" Together Re-Defined Electronic Dance Music In America. BELIEVE Had Over Five Thousand (5000) Friends Participate And Experience "MAXIUM SENSORY OVERLOAD", In A Safe, Secure Atmosphere. The Finest Production Ever Witness To Date Was Unleashed On The Masses. The Crowd Was Hypnotized And Entranced Visually, Spiritually, And Emotionally, While D.J.'s From All Over The World Played Their Hearts And Souls Out, Proving Their Undisputed Talents.

Frankie Bones, Micro, Heather Heart, Adam X, Neil Landstrum (LIVE), T-1000, Dan EFX, Kelly Reverb, Si Beggs, The Creator, Tommy Tunes And Gonzo, And Of Course Frank Ryde Tore The Very Foundation That The Asbury Park Convention Center Was Built On. No One Was Disappointed.
