Hardcore and Drum and Bass from Las Vegas/Southern California, USA.
 Virtue discovered electronic music in 1993 at the age of 11 when a friend of his passed along a techno tape. He immediately fell in love with the atmosphere the music provided for his imagination and the way it made him feel. After attending his first rave at the age of 15, he was hooked. 
 He noticed how the DJ was able to control the crowd and create an experience everyone was enjoying and hardcore techno was his favorite experience above all others. With its hard, bouncy, distorted kicks and high energy, it gave him a unique feeling he had never experienced before. It gave him a sense of belonging, something he always felt was lacking in the neighborhood he grew up in. Virtue loved how friendly all the people were who also loved the music. 
 Having obtained a pair of Gemini belt drive turntables in 1997, he began experimenting with mixing house music and soon after he moved on to hardcore techno. He got his start playing at house parties all over the Inland Empire and eventually started playing at raves across Los Angeles, CA. 
 Later, he started his own streaming radio station with his longtime friend (DLOE) in a duo DJ team, the Gabbertwinz, called Gabbertwinz Radio. In 2013 he decided it was time to make his own tracks and hit the ground running with releases on Speedcore Worldwide, Splitterstorm, Devil Times Nine, Hong Kong Violence, as well as his own label, Kill or Be Slaughtered, founded with fellow producers Fiend and Arcid. 
 He also co-founded a new podcast called Hardcore Misfits, with fellow djs Drednok and Tha Threat, which showcases hardcore djs in the United States. He is also 1/3 of a new group called Vatos Locos, started with djs Arcid and C1B2 (aka The Cyberdemon). With his experience and love for the harder sounds, you are guaranteed to hear something you’ve never heard before.
