Been mixing up locally since 1996 after relocating back to the USA from Nuernberg, Germany. Been mixing on 3 decks & a CD player or 2 for a long time as well. I lived in Nuernberg for 6 years where I caught on to the radio personalies who pushed this beat-driven music on me for the first time. They made it interesting by explaning the idea behind the artists tracks. After hearing the commercial radio-bound music, I needed to satisfy the need of more serious sounds. Drumcode was the first ever label I picked up that truly gave me a sense of rhythm and the feeling associated with it. From then I've been doing whatever it takes to mix up for folks and show them how sounds blend and transform in my world!
