Personal Blurb: I began mixing tunes after getting into the NM rave scene back in 2000. I think that the moment I decided to start djing was after jamming to a set by Mark Farina at the Sunshine Theatre. I was blown away by the way the crowd was responding to Farina's every mix, trick, and EQ tweak, and it was then and there that I knew I wanted to start mixing records. I started out with house and played a few other styles until I became so heavily infatuated with drum and bass that I left the other genres behind to focus on my jungle collection. Since then I have played numerous raves, clubs, shows, and parties alongside several of New Mexico's finest jocks, as well as some headliners from abroad.

6 Years Later: I have rediscovered my love for ANY good music, from ANY style or subgenre. My drum and bass sets are known for their variety, covering the whole spectrum from liquid to hardstep, atmospheric to techstep, dubby ragga to dancefloor tunes. Lately I have also been focusing on perfecting multi-genre sets that include breaks, house, electro, dnb, hiphop, and dubstep. Watch out for future mixes and live perfomances that will include different combinations of those genres and possibly others as well.
