Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm a DJ, producer, and author from the Pacific Northwest. I've been producing a myriad of electronic music genres for the better part of 20 years including electro house, breaks, and drum and bass. I also make chillout and downtempo under the moniker "Super Sapien", as a side project. I do it because I love it, always have. I've enjoyed success in the industry including playing some massive events and groundbreaking releases with fantastic labels. However, most importantly, I've enjoyed the love and support from my fans and peers. We're all one big family. The music, the community, and the art has kept me going all of these years and I don't intend to stop any time soon.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I've always been into a variety of music genres. But I was raised on the classics, like John Digweed, Dieselboy, Far Too Loud, Wolfgang Gartner, and even Paul Oakenfold. It's been a long journey and I've since been inspired by so many great artists. However, ultimately the most profound inspirations have come from life, love, and the natural world. We live in a strange world during strange times. How could one not be inspired?
What´s new right now?
I'm always on the move, making new music, writing new books, playing new gigs. It's difficult to pin down just one thing. But I'm always growing and evolving. Just keep a keen eye and ear out.
