Well, I once was an active DJ and promoter of underground electronic music. Mostly “industrial-techno” or the cross section of powernoise, hard techno, and non-cheesy hardcore (there’s a difference!). As things go when things got serious with building my R&D music studio (see http://www.egrsoftware.com/ for picts) I had to pull back from my music endeavors, especially promoting events, at the time '08. Still don’t have time for it and well the stuff I’m into still isn’t exactly popular out here in the US / west coast / San Francisco. Early on I hosted many London acid techno producers such as Chris Liberator, DDR, D.A.V.E. the Drummer, so definitely was inspired by acid techno back in the day. Here is a video of the last event I hosted in San Luis Obispo before getting out of college… DDR rocking a hardware set…

Back in SF I did host luminaries in the hard techno scene toward the end of my run including ArkusP, Robert Natus, and DJ Amok from Germany. I guess the tag team set I did with DJ Amok at Stanford radio KZSU was the widest listened one.
Last year I posted all my live and studio DJ mixes from vinyl on SoundCloud and some early production work too along with a live experimental performance. There is ~50 hours of music up there for anyone here that likes this kind of stuff. Check it out if it’s your thing and you need some tunes to code to… all night… 8)
