BACKGROUND Hegstraction grew up in the 80s & 90s heavily influenced by the emergent electronic music in Amiga, Nintendo & PlayStation video games & the movie soundtracks by electronic music pioneers Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis & Kraftwerk. Recent influences from German techno DJ/producers Felix Krocher & Stephan Bodzin.

INSPIRATION His inspiration differs from most artists as it comes from the dance floor where he is most at home. From over 20 years experiencing DJ sets worldwide throughout Europe, Asia, South & North America, his ideas have been shaped.

METHODOLOGY He approaches each track as a mini set, building up slowly, using level changes, sounds that stimulate & energize, following Skeletalism (using closely related sounds) & Massification (layering sounds over time) methods.

Born in Elizabeth,NJ HI-RUM has been listening to house music for over 10+ years 
Became a student to the game since 2023 already hitting big venues like BarCode,Headliners,Phebe,Don Felix, and many more in New Jersey and has also got the chance to perform in venues at New York such as the factory(biggest afties spot in ny),and bar 13 rooftop in Manhattan. He has a huge arsenal in his game as he chooses to play from the funkiest afro to the darkest depths of techno; although he has specialized in the Latin tech house world mostly due to his Colombian, and Puerto Rican roots. He just wants people to unite and forget about the issues on the outside world🤍
