Things have been pretty great overall this year, I had the chance to play in Philadelphia, Vancouver, and my hometown of Albuquerque. I think those were my biggest highlights as far as events I played. Locally in Arizona, there’s been more of a focus on developing our event brand, Circuit with my partner Michelle Sparks. I’ve also spent the year doing a lot of networking for some big plans coming in 2023 like our new plans for a label.

I’m a big fan of all things space exploration, science, tech, and future. I try and incorporate as much of these ideas, visions and concepts into my music.

That’s what draws me to it so much.In my latest release for Kuukou, it ended up turning into what I think is the perfect soundtrack for traveling through space and exploring the furthest outer […]

Back when the pandemic hit in 2020, I had just finished 3 weeks in the studio working on a bunch of ideas and unfinished projects. It was really productive as I had plans to push heavy with my releases that year so I wanted to come out of it with a bunch of fresh new music. I had just come off tour and did another release on Octopus and was super motivated to hit 2020 strong. Then bam, the Pandemic […]

Music started at an early age for me. Though it wasn’t obvious when I was younger as my passions were more driven towards drawing and painting, and later on turned into an obsession with film and directing. I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico.. yes home of Breaking Bad. Lol. There wasn’t much to do growing up, so lots of time was spent listening to music or getting in trouble. I was always driven in the background by music. Some […]

When I started to get serious with production I spent lots of time trying to learn techniques from YouTube videos, online articles, books, magazines, and pretty much anyone who was open to sharing knowledge.

Early on there wasn’t much info regarding dance music specifically and most material I came across was information based around traditional recording studios […]
