What music did you listen to as a child?!
Growing up I listened to Depeche Mode, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, and OMD, among other electronic bands. My parents were not musicians, but my whole family have always been music lovers. I remember my parents playing 70's disco at the house all the time.
When was the first time that you realized that you liked electronic music?!
The very first time I heard electronic music. It was love at first listen.
When was the first time you saw a DJ in a club?!
The first time I saw a line-up of DJs perform progressive house music was at a club in downtown Los Angeles called Nectar.
Which producers/artists/acts inspire you? !
Christopher Lawrence, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk.
What was the last album that you downloaded/bought? !
Lost EP by Pet Shop Boys.
What is your current production and DJ set up like?!
My production setup consists, in part, of outboard analog & digital synthesizers such as Moog Sub-37, Waldorf Quantum, OB6, Prophet 6, Pro-3, Arturia Polybrute, and ARP-2600. Outboard effects processors such as SSL Bus Compressor, Moog Analog Delay modules, and !SSL Ultraviolet EQ. Ableton Live is my primary DAW and I use Universal Audio Apollo converters with Focal Twin6 monitors.
What releases do you have on the horizon?!
I have a lot of progressive house and melodic techno projects coming out this year with labels such as Area Verde, Clubsonica, Blanco y Negro, !Sunexplosion, Enormous Tunes, Blue Magenta, AH Digital among others. I'm very excited about all of these releases this year.
