Proud product of the Midwest, but relocated to Miami and discovered turntables...life never the same. Now back in Chicago working with various production companies, making sure that talent from around the globe can be seen in the Midwest.

A long-time champion of bass-music, but a not-to-secret fan of chilled-out downtempo electronica. No matter the genre, one truth holds constant: it's not a party unless it ends around sunrise. So, I am always on the hunt for the next late night, or early morning, anthem.

Life, like a film, is just a series of scenes. You better choose one damn good score.
