I first heard electronic music in my Grade 8 science class, it was Greece 2000 by Three Drives on a Vinyl–legendary. Those were the days when trance was evolving. See Sasha - Xpander. Oct. 31st, 1999, I went to my first rave - Fun House at the Memorial Arena. In 2002, I got behind the decks, learning on borrowed vinyl from local record shops and figuring it out the hard way– it took me over a year to learn how to beat match. Actually. Nothing like today.

For the first 10 years, I became obsessed with Breakbeats. I could honestly have cared less about every other genre. I was graced with the opportunity to open for some of the dons in that cat: A Sklllz, Krafty Kuts, General Midi, Napt, and Stanton Warriors. Then breaks started to slow down. It was okay for a bit, but I got bored. I like my BPMs over 120. See Georgio Marauder. House Music was now calling my name.

Between 2012 and 2018, I dived into everything House Music had to offer, grateful to have the opportunity to share the stage with legends like Chris Lake, Ac Slater, Alex Metric and Christian Martin. Coming up as a hardcore raver, basslines were always the most addictive piece of the electronic puzzle for me–I found my style shaping itself around that parameter. See Ian Carey, Patrick Alavi, and Eddie Thoenick.

From 2018 to 2023, I took a major step back to focus on my health. They say when you put your growth & health first, you’re never missing out. It’s 2026. My love for house music is still that of a 17-year-old fanboy, now with a seasoned focus. My sets blend disco, techno, uptempo, trance, tech house and even breaks (classics never die). If you genuinely love house music as much as I do, then I’ll see you at my next show. Much love.
