Joe Satriani is the world’s most commercially successful solo guitar performer, with six gold and platinum discs to his credit (including one more gold award for the debut album by his band Chickenfoot), and sales in excess of 10 million copies. His forthcoming 15th studio album, Shockwave Supernova (due out July 24, 2015), is already being hailed as yet another creative breakthrough – this for a guitarist who has routinely topped guitar magazine polls since the release of his first full-length album, Not Of This Earth, in 1986.

Since September 18, 1970 (the day his idol Jimi Hendrix passed away), Satriani has dedicated himself to the artistry of instrument. While still a teenager in his hometown of Westbury, New York, he taught guitar to another budding six-string hopeful, Steve Vai. A few years later, Satriani moved to San Francisco and played guitar in a popular new wave band, The Squares, and briefly joined The Greg Kihn Band before the release of Not Of This Earth.

Satriani’s reputation was already growing in guitar circles – along with Vai, some of his other students were Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Testament’s Alex Skolnick – but in 1987, he broke through to the masses with his second studio full-length, Surfing With The Alien, a massive seller (it hit No. 29 on the Billboard 200) that included the radio hits “Satch Boogie” and the title track. The success of that album caught the attention of Mick Jagger, who asked Satriani to be his lead guitarist on his first-ever solo tour, in 1988.

As a live performer, Satriani has toured the world with each new release (his last concert tour for 2013’s Unstoppable Momentum saw the guitarist touch down in 32 countries). In 1993, he joined Deep Purple as a temporary replacement for Ritchie Blackmore during a Japanese tour. In 1996, Satriani founded the multi-guitarist traveling experience called G3, which has seen him share stages with Vai, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Robert Fripp, among others. And starting in 2009, Satriani traversed the globe again as a member of Chickenfoot. The all-star band (which also includes singer Sammy Hagar, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith) has issues two albums, their debut and 2011’s follow-up, Chickenfoot III.

Satriani’s solo discography includes a host of classics, including 1989’s Flying In A Blue Dream, The Extremist from 1992, Is There Love In Space? (2004) and 2010’s Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards. His 15 Grammy nominations have been for songs such as “Always With Me, Always With You,” “The Crush Of Love,” and “Summer Song,” as well as full albums like Surfing With The Alien, The Extremist and Super Colossal. 

Satriani has appeared in motion pictures such as Christopher Guest’s 2006 release, For Your Consideration, and the 2011 Brad Pitt starrer, Moneyball. Through the years, he has designed and endorsed guitars, amplifiers and effects pedals for Ibanez, Marshall and Vox. His JS Series of guitars through Ibanez has been one of the company’s most popular and consistent sellers.

Types of mixes listed:

First Page Series is a mix based off of the first page of the genre's Beatport page.  It is that simple.
Trainspotting Series is where Shazam was used to identify the track that a DJ played.  While frowned upon, these mixes for me to listen to after a great night dancing to my favorite DJs and for those who could not make it to the same event as I.  


Billing Information:

T.mouse-Macon Tunes Authority/Macon GA

T.mouse's mixes are known for their unknown start and finish.  Hailing his influences from Carl Cox, Doc Martin, and DJ Vicious Vic of Caffeine NYC, T.mouse has always strived to go beyond the convention mold of what a DJ is or could be. There is no genre safe from this Sneaky Rat Bastard's paws once he is behind the decks. Rest assured, you will either be begging at the booth for more, or you will be questioning life outside the venue door!


Biography

T.mouse should have known he was bound for the DJ lifestyle when he would rather listen to Herbie Hancock, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, LL Cool J, and other beats instead of the hair bands that starred in the 1980s. He also should have known becoming a DJ was inevitable when he would go to car stereo shows to listen Miami Bass tracks being played at extreme volumes with subwoofers creating "brown notes". His first dive into the electronic dance music scene was in 1992 where a boring night of Hip Hop at a club driften him to the dj booth where he request techno, got handed a napkin with an address on it, and was told simply, "go there and ask a cop you want this 'dipped'." Once there, and nervously asking an uniformed police officer this crazy request, it was into the world which the Sneaky Rat Bastard has called home since! In 1997, he decided to try to keep his vinyl collection playing versus playing one record and changing them out one by one. It was at this point, T.mouse was born. Since that day, he has played all over the world to include Italy, Puerto Rico, Kuwait, and Iraq. T.mouse has been called the most technical DJ, and has been also called one of the craziest people to be behind as many as six mixible sources at one time. But, he never takes his mixes for granted and will never know how they will turn out. This is what makes catching T.mouse live the most fun; you will never hear the same mix twice just like lightning!
