Music has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up I explored and listened to many different sounds and genres… everything from punk rock to hip hop. Although I listened to some electronic music in high school, it wasn’t until I went to college that I really started to scratch the surface of all electronic music had to offer. At the time I didn’t know much about DJ’ing… really nothing at all. That said, I was always the person playing music at parties and at one point I even tried to make a mix in my dorm room using garageband (haha, yeah it didn’t turn out to well). From that point on (circa late 2008) I was on a mission to figure the whole DJ thing out. Seeing it as a low barrier to entry I first bought a controller which worked with an early version of Traktor. Learning mostly through my own research online and mistakes (lots of them), I shortly thereafter acquired a pair of Technic 1200’s which was when the real learning began. For the next 2 years I spent hours practicing in my bedroom and at the occasional house party, back in those days I went by “pH” aka “Party Haith”. In January of 2011 I played my first real gig as Hi-Tem at a 3 room, 2 night party called Re-Edit… I’ll never forget that night.

It’s crazy to think that night was just over 5 years ago. Since then my sound has progressed a lot, I moved to San Francisco, and also have a full time job (got to pay the bills right?!?). One thing that hasn’t changed is my love for DJ’ing. There’s just something about sharing the music you love with a packed dance floor or just a room of your closest friends. To me it’s all about sharing experiences through the music. 

As a thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years, I’ve put together a 100 minute mix made up of 20 of my favorite tracks. Putting this mix together was extremely tough as there were so many tracks and different sounds I wanted to include. I ultimately decided to make a mix which focused on the melodic side of things and that could be enjoyed both on and off dance floors. 

Hope you enjoy!
