Originally hailing from Stratford Ontario, this dj found his mark as a technoist in Kitchener Ontario during the days of the Internet cafe and evolving onto other endeavors like elementill with dj eternal, as well as founding and co-hosting X2 under the intelligence production label with Lance Loranger aka. dj Finstah, playing alongside what became heavy influences Greg Gow, Jordan Teschke,Sweetstretch and Kenny Glasgow and finding impressive locals to showcase as well including Biotek, Destro, and Shawn Turner.

Later, under the same label and partnership, co-hosting evenings at Felisitys nightclub in Kitchener showcasing the same local talent. Other kitchener bookings included Inner City opening for Madam Zu, and an appearance at the purple room with Issac S.

Feeling the need to travel, he made his mark eventually in a handul of North American cities including a monthly residency at the Motor nightclub in Detroit city playing along with local talent and unquestionably the experience of a lifetime for the learning process. then Calgary, where he started from scratch playing at open deck nights until eventually he was picked up by Interdimensional Industries, a local record label with industrial elements. The label was responsible for booking him to open for acts such as St. Vitus Dance, and Double D. Also playing alongside Five alive, Karl Mohr, dj Anx, and the kids from the Tekno Collective. His Calgary residencies included The Bulldog Nightclub, the Auxiliary afterhours, and periodic appearances at the Warehouse. Lastly, the Winnipeg experience.. Concentrating mostly on his production while in this city, he decided to recluse into the studio and only played warehouse parties and a few radio shows hooked up through symptom technologies..

His ultimate goal is to eventually press a library of 12" EPs with simply lock grooves and intro tracks in hopes of adding a rung in the evolutionary ladder of techno and giving the technoist culture something fresh.
