TRAUMACHINE represents an interdisciplinary and dynamic space of emergent performative revolutionary freedom amidst the reality of a waking American Nightmare. The concept of the American Dream is inexorably connected to the alienating, psychologically colonialist enterprise of the culture industry as made manifest by the status quo. By reinterpreting the mythological narratives of contemporary American popular culture PoplurX, Clayton Westmeier, Ethan Cummins, and Jonny Negron will engage in an immersive genre-bending performance at the crossroads of music as an evolution of the interpretation of intonation for means of survival, and the body (heartbeat) as the first instrument of sonic measurement (metronome). By utilizing aspects of dance, ritualistic improvisation, and free association, TRAUMACHINE, will open a suspended space of self-critical dialogue with the power structures of culture.The age of physical revolution has past us by; the only revolution left possible is a revolution of the mind.

It all began in the summer of '98. A life of service to others through music had began. On Austin's most popular party district, 6th Street, important mentors :: Daveed, N10city(Brian Bartlett RIP), & NFunktion inspired me. Between 2001-2006 various gigs at EDM friendly club spots and private gigs with Scarpace/Talking Ent. parties in North Austin were explored. By 2007, DaVinci_US re-entered the greater EDM scene through Karma Lounge as a resident DJ and Promoter until March of 2015. 

    Davinci had the priviledge to open up for Klaas,  PeaceTreaty, Terry Mullan, Frankie Bones, Kenneth Thomas, Fabian Bates, DJ Kaydence, Lee Combs, and been on same stage as Jeremy Word, DJ Rap, Shortee, and countless other national & international headliners through gigs at Texas festivals. Davinci played all throughout Austin TX, at world famous Numbers, The Orbit Room, The Kryptonite, GreensTheater, and Meridian in Houston. A short tour in New Mexico included gigs at Tumbleweeds in Albuquerque & Rize Nightclub in Sante Fe. Mountasia in Dallas, TX, and Korova in San Antonio, TX were also event venues played at.

 Looking forward to continuing growth as a producer, I took a break from playing out but hope to throw down mad tunes for the world to hear and vibrationally unite under DANCE!!!

Davinci has been known for his connection to his audiences, great DJ skill, and impecable track selections that continue to move crowds and set him apart from many local and regional DJs throughout Texas. When asked what he thought makes a good DJ he answered, "Its about becoming one with all who are present..., finding that vibration that links us all innately, and once unified in spirit, it's a journey I take with those people, or what I call a Vibrational Illumination."

This is the music that I created from all of the genres that influenced me from birth to now. This goes to all of the people who turned me on to badass music.
