"A few weeks ago, Woody McBride read somewhere that if you practice chewing food on the opposite side of your mouth than you normally chew on, it fosters creativity and balance. He's been doing it ever since, though nothing's happened yet. At the same time, he raises his eyebrows and tilts his head to the right--his current chewing side--suggesting that maybe it's happening as we speak.
We're drinking fresh-squeezed carrot and apple juice, Woody and I, in the living room of the "dome home" in Lindstrom, outside of North Branch, that he shares with his wife Amanda. This is farm country, where cattle, horses, and pole barns dot the countryside, and it feels far away from the rave and underground club scene that made McBride (a.k.a. DJ ESP) an international pioneer of electronic music in the '90s."

"The most apt description of the man behind some of the last two decades' most influentially dark and brooding acid and techno came from Karl Meier of Meiotic Productions: "He's really what you would call a country gentleman."
The man he's describing, Woody McBride, aka DJ ESP, has long assumed an elder statesman position in the history and evolution of electronic culture in the Midwest. Throwing some of the first and by far most legendary warehouse parties in Minneapolis in the early nineties, he initiated untold numbers of virgin ears into the realm of wordless techno by way of his notorious "wall of bass"--a speaker stack stretching 150 feet long, 20 feet high, and able to project a million watts of music."
