Start Date: 08-14-99

End Date: The long hiatus is over! Although I'm probably past the point of DJing at the rate I did in the old days, I do plan on DJing on a periodic basis. For a list of past residencies, see the residency page.

Musical Style: This is where I am supposed to put a bunch of amorphous labels on my musical tastes. I'll do that, but it doesn't really communicate as well as speaking from my own voice. First I must make a distinction between my current musical interests and the actual set content. Naturally, the two intersect a good deal, but I do realise that when spinning music at some event, I am doing so for more than just my own self. So....

Set Content: I do my best to keep myself diverse so that I can be prepared for anything. One thing that I am good at is reading a crowd. Events vary in their flavor, and regional tastes do as well. In my binders, I'll keep a cross section of: 'club hits' (of course), lesser-known synthpop, older industrial and goth to their more bleeding-edge counterparts, ethereal, 80s and new wave, some techno, and a small amount of powernoise and deathrock. I don't really carry any punk, ska, goa, or drum & bass. When the mood strikes me, I've been known to slip in They Might Be Giants, musical numbers from The Simpsons, and scores from sci-fi productions (Xfiles, Dr. Who, etc.). I don't plan setlists ahead of time and I never use the cross-fader.

Personal Interests: My personal preferences these days stray into the realm of the lesser known synthpop and also ethereal. A short list of artists I've been interested in nowadays: The Nine, Emergence, Echo Image, Ravenous, Delerium, Dust of Basement, New Concept, Changelings, Collide, Darker Days Tomorrow, ATB, Technoir, Frontline Assembly, Richter, and God Module. And of course, as always, love me, love They Might Be Giants.

Life Beyond the Booth: Oh, that's right, I do other things as well! I currently work for in IT doing application development and database administration. I have a Masters' Degree in Statistics (Dec 2005). I'm a homeowner for the 2^nd time, and that takes lots of time and energy recently. When I'm goofing off, you can also catch me on Live Journal, but I also have a public blog embedded on this site.

Other Interests: Sci-Fi, Atheism, Medical and psychological topics, Documentaries, Aesthetics, and anything appropriately bizarre enough to catch my attention.
