About Me

Twisted DUO is a project that is the mastermind of one man, a Las Vegas based dj named Digital Defiant. The project Twisted DUO was designed to be a cybernetic collective in which Digital Defiant is the creative axis. With influences ranging from Ravi Shankar to Depeche Mode and from electronic influences from Brian Eno to Underworld the sounds Twisted DUO are best described as one contributing member called it, "Twisted steel with sex appeal." Sexy, yet psychedelic. Energetic, yet mellow. Exploring sounds that are not only cerebral but topically invigorating. This is music designed to reach those living on the brink of two separate world.

The mission of this collective, as passed down from the gods of techno in the cosmos, is to expand the performance of the electronic music dj. Embracing technology as tools to manipulate sound and forge it into an abyssal of thought, motion, and intrigue. Learn to refuse the programming set inside you to resist natural urges. It's okay to be blissful and content. It's okay to express yourself in a creative manner. Leaning to love yourself will then teach you to love others. Being content with your state of being will allow to not only express yourself freely, but accept others (with all thier flaws intact). This will in turn lead to a a blissful existence.
The tools Twisted DUO uses to accomplish these goals are simple and efficient:
HARDWARE
One Technics SL-1200 MK3
Two Pioneer DJM-200 digital turntables
One American Audio QFX-19 digital mixer
Intel Pentium 4, 2.66GHZ/1024GB RAM Personal Computer (reverse looped)
