Affectoid
I started spinning records at the age of 15 in a friends basement. Quickly I began laying down beats and making tracks of my own. Going through my own turmoil I stopped making songs, and stopped spinning. After I got my life back in order after much chaos, I began remixing, and started writing lyrics again. This is the beginning of a new era to me, and I want to express myself in my music because I feel it's the best way I know how.
I want to bring the dance culture back into the realm in which it used to be...about dancing.

Why this name?
I always listen to loud music every where I go. Headphones as well. Sometimes till the point where it's ringing in my ears. I have been told/advised/teased that I will be deaf sometime in the future.
Do you play live?
Mostly I go to small house parties and spin sets with my other DJ friends. I want to expand my horizions, but later..after I get some more tracks laid down, since I have been remixing other artist's work instead for a while.
When I go spin records with my friends it's a mutual love experience that gives everyone a great feeling inside, and that in itself is ecstasy.
The most special moment is when your friends request more demo's to give to friends, and the notorious head nod in the club/house party.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it helps it reach places and countries that never been able to hear anything other than big name celebrities and that peeves all the business men in the music game, which is funny because they are peddling non-sence. I like giving my music away to listen and experience. I love the way the internet gives expansions to the musicians .
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I strive to own my own, very soon. So no.
Your influences?
Praga Khan, Timo Maas, John Digweed, Oliver Adams.
Favorite spot?
I would love to visit Amsterdam & Ibiza's clubs. However in Denver I love to hit up the Church or 2:AM which is a sweet little afterhours club I would definately recommend. DJ Uriah is the best resident DJ I have heard in a long while!!
Equipment used:
I love to use Korg anything. However my favorite to use is the Korg Karma. I like to spin on Technics and mix with the Numark DXM06. I like to use the editing softwear GoldWave and for "Affectoid" I used MixMan.
Anything else...?
Love to hear feedback, so lemme know what's on your mind! Hearing from the audience is the best thing since cheese.
