Artist History
My first expierence with electronic music was in
the mid-80's when I walked into a local record
shop (yes they sold vinyl records and still do)
and the clerk was playing FRONT 242. I was so blown
away by the sounds that I heard I bought the tape.
and a couple others right away.
the music I was into though were Hardcore Punk
and Heavy Metal with some classic rock. These
influences came mainly from my mom who was the
closest thing I knew to be a hippie. So I took up
the guitar like so many of my generation of men
did. Then discovered my real love of the bass
after hearing Cliff Burton belt out
"Anesthesia(Pulling Teeth)". I played in several
bands, mainly garage bands before 1990. Now
officially Electronica had not hit Bakersfiled, CA
(a small city of about 250,000 2 hours north of L.A.).
so I was stuck with just FRONT 242 with a little
of Mike Oldfield and Gorgio Moredor, till I joined
the Army in 1990. I was shipped overseas in 1991
to Heidelberg Germany, where I really discovered
what synth and analog and driving bass were.
I frequented a club called Blue Fish in Heidelberg
and caught glimpse of many of the live techno
Producers/DJs using Korg and Roland synths and turntables
hooked into a couple of little Macs
and few other machines and it blew my mind once
again to the sound they could make. I then got
caught up in the wave and me and my friend Paul
formed MD 20/20 ( after one night geting drunk on
Mad Dog). We bought several pieces of equipment
and started playing the Blue Fish and the Tech Clubs
around Heidelberg and Mannheim. After leaving
Germany in 1993 I came back to the states to start
several projects including club and house DJing.

Press Reviews
HCP Review Network @ http://mp3.com/stations/hcparchives:
Review on single "Harsh Echoes":
I was expecting a much harder sound with respect
to the title of this track. Nevertheless, it was a
Trip of Trance worth taking. The synth work is
rather pleasant sounding and consistent throughout
the track. I felt myself drifting off into space
in parts, especially when the synth overlay comes
in. It is the 'emotional' theme of this track that
I enjoyed the most. Good work! Rating: 4/5.
