Experience

intro

I've taken a few approaches to DJing in my career so far. I've enjoyed some and been entirely stressed out by others, but always worked hard to achieve my goals. Presently I am primary interested in techno (rave/club nite) based DJing. When asked what do I spin it is hard for me to come up with a answer better "then what I like" (see Fusion Freestyle). What I like tends to be any form of electronic music that sounds interested to me. (Though my musical tastes spread far beyond electronic music.) Basically I am a free style DJ, and you can learn more about my style in the section on The Spirit. The following is a recount of all my DJ based experience in roughly reverse chronological order.
