Metabolism of a freight-train.

About Me

Hiya. I'm Justin but they call me Foster. That's my last name and people seem to remember it better thanks to some certain Australian beer (no relation). Local techno DJ, audio engineering graduate, basement techno producer, neo-rave promoter, dancefloor attacker, adorable lover/snuggler, hopeless romantic. Short, wirey guy who's deep into the promotion, production, and placement of intelligent electronic music. I listen to EVERYTHING around me, often to the point of distraction. I'm analytical yet non-judgemental. I choose drum machines over live drums... mostly. I own a TR-707 cuz I can't afford a 909. There's the long story made very, very short. Hit me up for some conversation.

My Interests

Electronica, DJing, Audio Production, Puppies, Kittens, Throwing weird neo-rave parties, The battle of Digital vs Analog, (dis)Tastefully making fun of everything, Travelling, Hiking, Climbing rocks, Warm weather, Wakeboarding, etc.
