returning to beats after a two year hiatus for a busted back in late 05. look forward to more beats in all size's and sounds!

history : after a very lucky find of a TB-303 for 50$ at a local pawn shop in SF, my friend (kemek) and i, started producing acid house tracks in '92 under the moniker '303terrorists'. we started flask records and released a bunch of acid house, ambient, and detroit techno influenced 12"s and full length cd's of our music plus various artist's and friends that made tracks as well. i started drifting into dj'ing in '93 and picked up on jungle later that year, and have been doing it since. i dj'd at most of the biggest raves around the bay area, and small UG warehouse's and was the buyer for jungle at solid grooves record store in sanjose from '94-'01. (had to feed the addiction to vinyl crak somehow!).
from '96 to the summer of '03, my friends and i started a long standing club nite called 'killasubz'. we had weeklies, monthlies, and one-off's all over the southbay and SF, and even in seattle. dj's siphon, das, proxy, and myself formed the nucleus that kept jungle flowing in the southbay for many years.
in the fall of '05 i learned i had fractured my L1 vertebrae from an earlier skateboarding accident. basically i stopped making music/dj'ing around that time and just rested trying to get healthy again. now in the upcoming new year '08, i'm going to find time to make new beats in various style's: tech/house, dubstep, jungle, shoegazer, or whatever picks my fancy.
really getting back into shoegazer in a big way again. 'MBV' is my all time favorite band, next to 'RIDE', and now 'BURIAL' is taking dubstep and blending shoegazer/minimal tech/ambient sounds all together... very excited about music again..
