I have a question… Do you like reverse bass? How about epic melodies? Or are you more for screaming synths over distorted kicks? Well this mix has it all.

We all gotta start somewhere, right?

Throughout my career as a hard dance DJ I was involved with many projects. Spear, Redline (myself and CGK), S&M (myself and Mamo), Tier 1, AZHC All Stars, and Darksiderz (first a project between four artists, now a solo project led by Aaron). Over a decade of dedication to the Hardstyle sound saw the rise and fall and rise again of the hard dance scene in the Phoenix, AZ area. As an early member and producing artist of Hard Dance Nation, I was directly involved in the first Q-Dance stage at EDC Las Vegas 2012, helping bring Hardstyle to the festival masses in the USA for the first time. Over these years my name saw stages all over the West Coast. I LOVED my life during this time but ultimately it was too much for me to mentally handle and I became burnt out on the sound.

After taking a sabbatical to discover myself, I am back, I am better, and I am here to take the scene by storm and bring my unique sound and style of mixing to the dance floors once again. Where I was once held down to one style of music, I have expanded my world. But I’ve never forgotten where I came from.

This mix is a dedication to my beginnings, my highs and lows, and the sound that I cared for so much. In many ways this mix is a love letter to my career, filled with tracks that I played out over and over during these times. If you ever had a chance to see me live during this time in my career, you know exactly what to expect from this mix. If you haven’t heard this sound from me before, be prepared to hear some old-school Hardstyle in the way it was meant to be heard.

Never forget your Roots.
