I am a Junglist like nobody's business.The funny thing is I've been a drummer since middle school, picked up the bass guitar in college, I've been a hardcore raver monkey since 1998, I was always the first on the dance floor to start making magic happen, my whooping and hollering has DEFINITELY hyped up the crowd, I've been party to multiple track creations playing the bass(I just didn't really care if my name was attached to it), I've had my own radio show that ran for 3 years straight, I was part of what is now one of the biggest underground parties for it's first 5 developing years. The best instance of DJing for me is when some 12 year old kids laid out a refrigerator box and started break dancing to my set at a festival I was spinning at... I had to fight watching them and keeping the mix going so that they wouldn't stop break dancing. That was like a gold medal for me, I got the kids breakdancing with my mix... EPIC.

i have been making music since i was in kindergarten. i used to only sing, but i learned bass, then guitar. i played those and sang along. a few years ago i started getting really into software and synthesizers. i bought some sequencing stuff and learned them pretty well. i mixed it all together and now i sound like a band. my sounds and videos are on myspace, youtube, garageband, ilike,newgrounds and a slew of other websites. i get positive feedback. i am a decent person. i have flaws. i make ice cream soup.

Altered Sol has been actively been involved in the electronic underground music scene for over 30yrs. He started out as a promoter in 93' working the New York hardcore techno and club rave scene. He hosted successful events for over a decade in NE PA.  In the early 2ks he hosted the Nocturnal Rhythm internet radio show before live streaming became popular.  This gave him an understanding of underground and mainstream music, culture,  with a rather unique musical style.  Throughout his career he has grown to love and appreciate all variations of Rave music.  With dancefloor roots in the Hip-House Freestyle era of NY, NJ Altered Sol always seems to bring those early sounds of house and emotion into his music.  

His genre range is fluid and weather its Deep House, Indy/melodic house, Techno Hard Techno,  Hardcore or Breaks it's gonna make you move! 

His sound has evolved to a blend of Techno madness peppered with a hard underground backroom edge.  A style of fast paced grinding grooves with Hard Techno underground flava!  Sharing the stage with legends from around the world he received a classroom lesson in true professionalism behind the decks. The tracks played are impulsive and organic. The mixes are professional and precise. 

I welcome you to enjoy my underground sounds and share this love of music with the world. Keep it real, enjoy yourself and be responsible.  Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. ... Altered Sol 


Ian Hayes' (LightsOut) musical tastes were forged at a young age with grunge, punk rock, early electronica and hip hop. He went from electric bass to the decks at the age of 17. Beginning to experiment with production soon after, he was inspired by the darker electronic sounds of acid techno, hard trance, trip hop, industrial, and especially drum'n'bass. He applies the early love of the dark sounds with attempts to create futuristic atmospheres and "journey" type story telling in the DJ set. Graduating from Appalachian State University for Audio production with a double bass concentration in 2010, he formed a connection with Nu-Soul Magazine and moved from North Carolina to Los Angeles, CA where he became affiliated with Westbay Music, soon followed by Signal Flow Radio, a weekly show that provides a glimpse into the excellent drum'n'bass talent that LA has to offer. Now residing in Brooklyn, NY, LightsOut is attempting to continue the Signal Flow tradition in an east coast edition, as well as DJing and producing drum'n'bass, techno, and other electronic genres.

In 2013 James Piccolo decided he wanted to merge his love of creating art with his love of music, and began learning to DJ. He never thought  that he would ever go beyond mixing for the parties in his garage, so he made his stage name a total joke and called himself DJ ComBoMeal. Over the years ComBoMeal's knowledge and skills DJing vastly expanded , leading him to start recording and posting the mixes made here on Soundcloud. 
Fastforward 4 years later, It's now 2017. DJ ComBoMeal now resides in California, but is still continuing his musical journey. Living with a fellow DJ and group of other creative individuals, he spends his days learning even more about mixing with plans to go into the production of his own tracks. He does this all with the backing love and support of his friends, who he is now planning on bringing into mixes as samples and MCs. Named, of course, after McDonalds menu items because he says, "if I'm trying to go somewhere, I'll know I'm big when McDonalds sends us a cease and desist."
