Boom.Gozda Live 24 Mar 2024

I  grew up in the Niagara Region in Ontario, Canada.  In the early 90s I moved to the south of France in Perpignan.  During early to mid-late 90s I move back to Canada and went to many raves and clubs in Toronto at the ripe old age of 16 where I saw many of the world's biggest house, techno and drum and bass djs and emcees.

In the late-90s worked in a record store in Niagara Falls, Canada called Electrified Records with Joel Zimmerman (Deadmau5).  At the time I was record buyer/sales and Joel did the computer work for some radio ad recordings  our boss the owner Derek Caesar (Dread) did.    In the early 2000s I travelled searching for next big party including places like Ibiza (all over Spain), Italy, France and later Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Costa Rica and Mexico.

In 2011 I spent 5 months in Afghanistan during a combat tour with the Canadian Armed Forces where I worked with the Military Police as a Tactical Aircraft Security Officer, flying 50 combat missions on Hercules aircraft in hostile territories across Afghanistan.  I also worked in a Detainee Transfer Facility that housed captured Taliban detainees when I wasn't flying.

My early influences were due to my mother' s record collection.  My musical influences were Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, 90s rap and hip-hop, 90s British style classic house music, 90s commercial techno.  

My sound focuses primarily on the pumping tech-house sound.  I play highly danceable melodies.  The sound is quite visceral, direct, liquid, and deeply emotive.  I believe the sound has a true character of its own.
