Cat Dad. Oh, wait. Sorry. This isn't online dating.
I attend university full-time - doing the Psychology thing. Main areas of interest are working with mil/vets, ptsd, and Logotherapy. Psych, and the struggle to realize passion and work through pain, is what drives me. That and all the funny doctor jokes I will have access to.
Music has been an important part of my life for quite some time. Deep House will always hold a special place in my heart. Nocturnal Wonderland 2015. I had no idea Anjunadeep existed. I wandered into Sunken Garden and heard music that touched me to my core. I stood there as Lane 8 hopped on the decks (Had no idea it was Lane 8 at the time) and I fell in love. Much of the Progressive and Deep House music I play is either Anjuna, or an artist I found through Anjuna.
I started DJ'ing in April of 2022, and streaming on Twitch in November of 2022.
October 2022 I made the switch from a traditional controller to a... non-traditional setup? I use the X1 as a Decks & Effects controller, the F1 as a midi controller (Traktor Remix decks), and a mixer as a mixer.
I incorporate a great deal of layering in my playstyle. Finding new combinations of tracks that mix welI together, and new sounds, is the fun part of DJ'ing. I don't prep for Twitch streams, and I keep song prep (cue points) to a minimum. This allows for a unique (hopefully) experience each time I play. If you notice how much time I spend focused on the mixer and Traktor Pro... I'm on the hunt for a new sound combination.
