Attention public: After a few months of tweaking and reworking, my remix of Plan B's "She Said" is finally ready to be released! What once was a snap-along pop ballad has been transformed into synth-laden dance track. It's hard to classify my remix into a specific genre due to its 136bpm tempo, but I would say it's closest to Electro with various House and Dubstep elements thrown in for good measure. Take a listen, dance along, and see what you think!

As you might have heard, the Coachella Lineup was announced on Tuesday! Among a ton of old favorites there are quite a few names you may not recognize. Fortunately, I have compiled a sampler containing three songs from every artist so you can familiarize yourself with all the amazing acts that will be performing this year.

I hope everyone had a fantastic break! Mine was insanely busy but I did have time to DJ two awesome house parties and a New Year's Eve bash. All three were definite dance parties which is essentially my criteria for a successful event! Pictures will be uploaded soon. In other news, now that I'm back I can finally proceed to release some more music that I am very excited about. You can expect a new remix track on thursday!

Today is special. A numerical inevitability occuring once every hundred years involving the singularity of the number one in the date. It's the wishiest wish day a wisher could wish for. So to celebrate all the insanity and ridiculous superstition I present to you my adpaptation of Alex Metric & Charli XCX's 'End of the World' off Alex's new album. I took a chill track and turned it into a danceable explosion of sound while maintaining the infectious lyrics and upbeat tempo. Let me know what you think of it!

I just added a new feature to the site! If you click on a post title such as "Update" above or "Danksgiving!" below, you will open the full post page. That way I can have super long posts without clogging up the news feed (which I'm sure will happen eventually). In the full post page I also added a comment section where you can post and discuss whatever. Feedback, suggestions, hints, tricks, etc are always appreciated!

Here goes party number two! Veterans day is on Friday the 11th and that means we have an extended weekend coming up. Let's celebrate it Danksgiving style! Bring your backwards hat, bright colors, gnar-gnar bro tank, and come feast on turkey and do it big while raging the night away! Friends are welcome and any help with drinks is always a good way to keep the party going hard and strong all night long!

Awakenings: Sampler Vol. 1
So I got tired of waiting to release each individual song on it's own. Here's a sampler of ten tracks that I've been working on since the beginning of this year. Who knows which order they'll be finished in but post some comments on the Soundcloud page to let me know which ones you like best and any other ideas you might have! Enjoy!

Moved In and Set Up
The summer proved much busier than I anticipated! I've been working on five different songs, hoping to finish them all around the same time to compile on a CD. Yeah, that was the plan before summer ended but things got crazy! All is well though--I've successfully fit my massive amount of equipment into my little room up in San Luis Obispo where I plan on getting back to business ASAP.

Give it up for Nathan Ochoa!
His surfer-beach themed party turned out to be a crazy dance party! I'm pretty sure the cops got called four times and we were threatened with jail time but hey, it's all part of the adventure right? It was a great summer wind down get together and it looked like everyone had a blast!

Can't Get Enough Of Your Love
Alright so I have a bunch of tracks that I'm trying to finish before summer's end. Who knows, maybe I'll get some cds of my next EP printed. Anyway, the first of these 2011 tracks is a disco house groove by the name of Can't Get Enough Of Your Love! It's based on the Barry White song of similar name.
This song is made for dancing so don't let me down! More surprises soon to come so keep your ears peeled!

Welcome To Summer Amigos!
Three months later summer is upon us which means it's really time to party! I've been working hard on new music (I can't believe my last release was in October...) to be released very soon. But before I finish those I would like to announce an event that will start summer off with a bang!
Bring a swimsuit, dancing shoes, and a friend or two (hundred)! Drinks will provided, but it never hurts to bring more! Festivities include inflatable cacti, sombreros, ponchos, maracas, salsa music, a real donkey (piñata), and much more! Also, feel free to post any song requests you have on the wall and I'll be sure to mix them in. It will be held on the first of July at La Casa de Keusder. Invites will be sent out very soon or you can just click HERE to go directly to the Facebook page to RSVP. Come celebrate the beginning of summer with us for an unforgettable night!

It's been too long!
My apologies for the prolonged absence, life takes over sometimes. But I'm back now with some exciting news!
I've been given the opportunity to play in the Saddleback College Quad on Monday March 7th from around 1-2pm. It should be tons of fun! Anyone is welcome to stop by and help me rage the school to the ground!

RAGE FEST aftermath
Despite a few technical difficulties Rage Fest 2010 turned out to be just as hardcore as planned. Headbanging, check. Moshing, check. Shirts being ripped off, check. I'd call this one a success. Huge thanks to all who came out to support me, I can't wait until next year's celebration!
Edit: I also just put up a link to view past events on the "Shows" page and made a picture slideshow of Rage Fest that can be found here!

Fresh from the oven: Electric Maelstrom
Let's face it- today's date is great. So great, in fact, that I decided to release a new song that I've been working on for a while. It's a fast-paced electro banger with 8-bit roots ready to get you dancing just in time for Rage Fest (which is coming together quite nicely I might add)! Go check it out and download it from my releases page and let me know what you think!

New version of Rager
Just updated my old song Rager. I gave it some more bass (it has a lot more kick to it now) and thought it was harcore enough to post about. Also, new song coming soon once I make some finishing touches to it and the artwork.

Updates and a release!
Just finished up some minor site updates--fixed a few bugs and whatnot. Anyway, I'm on paid hosting now thanks to my friend Clark! That means you're able to download songs directly from the site instead of going to mediafire which was a hassle. And speaking of songs, I uploaded my new remix of The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights"! Hope you like it!

RAV EP released (finally!)
I figured I would finally upload my first EP since I just got finished perfecting the album art for it. Creative credit for the art goes to Natalie Earhart! Enjoy! And now back to producing some new material...
03.05.10
Download links
I put some red arrows next to the songs under the 'Releases' page. Click on them and you'll be taken to a mediafire page where you can download them. That's how it will be until I get paid hosting and have enough space to store them on this site haha. Who knows when that will be... I need to get some gigs first.

Website up and running!
Well after a few weeks of working on this daily I finally learned enough code to put up a basic website! There are still a bunch of things that I have no idea how to do so I'm still working on those but for now this should be good enough to do the job. Now I can check another thing off of my super long to do list!
