play lo-fi play hi-fi  Vanish - The Weakness (Original Instrumental Mix)
Vanish played with his first set of turntables in 2003 after a roommate brought them home. The two literally started from scratch and have worked their way into quite the formidable duo, getting booked by GSP Entertainment and Vanish himself forming an alliance with Ohio's well known DJ, Aus-10.

On the production side of things, Vanish began when a friend gave him some software to play with, and he immediately took off on an unending remix of Way Out West's track "Mindcircus" which is in it's final stages of production. He has since strayed from the world of trance and begun producing tracks fusing elements of techno, house, and electro. Look for future productions to include elements from both sides of the spectrum.
Why this name?
Actually my sister came up with it, and I liked it and it stuck.
Do you play live?
Yes, I play at Bento Go Go on High Street on OSU's campus on occassion, house parties for/with friends, am booked for all future shows with GSP Entertainment, and am looking at a residency at Club Seven. I can't forget my first time, I trainwrecked left and right, and even though the last mix was perfect, I couldn't salvage the horror I produced lol.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it has opened up countless areas to let the independent artist share their talents (or lack thereof) with the world, which I am all about. I do feel that file sharing has slaughtered the music industry, but the new things that have come of it are promising and wonderful.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That's the goal, isn't it?
Your influences?
DJs and producers alike over the last 6+ years of listening to an EDM-dominated life playlist. Highlights over the years include some obvious, some not so much: Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Darren Tate, Andreas Schmidt, Thomas Datt, Robert Nickson, Matt Darey, Laurent Konrad, Jezper Soderlund.
Favorite spot?
I'd give anything to go back to Italy, I really would.
Equipment used:
I'm using a crap ton of software, no hardware just yet as a lack of piano know-how wouldn't get me far.
