[IF]When did you first start listening to EDM?

[MYRE]It was in the early 2000s when i first heard EDM from my mother listening to artists such as ATB, Alice Deejay, Sonique and Charles Feelgood. I would say in 20008 is when I really started getting deeper into EDM on my own

[IF]What was your first event as a attendee?

[MYRE]San Francisco's Lovefest Afterparty 2008! That solidified my love for EDM for sure!

[IF]Who was your first favorite artist/group?

[MYRE]Hmmm Justin Bieber all the way baby! haha I love ALL music but my favorite artists are Chimaira, Slipknot and Korn, especially old school Korn ha. When it comes from an electronica stand point I'd have to say Lutzenkirchen, Yankee Zulu, Worthy and Roy Rosenfeld

[IF]When did you first start producing?

[MYRE]In 2008 I first started producing using Logic at the school I was attending at the time and stopped after half a year because I didn't have my own computer n stopped going to that school. In fall of 2009 I was able to start producing again at the Art Institute in San Francisco. Now I have my own computer I got last January and able to produce full time. Finally haha

[IF]When did you start DJing? How did you learn?

[MYRE]In 2008 I started DJing with my roommates and a close friend. One of them had Stanton Turntables and our close friend had a big collection of vinyl records. Great for practicing beat matching. If I wasn't at home on the tables I was at Guitar Center spinning off Pioneer CDJs.

[IF]First setup and current set up(including comps, software,drum-pads, etc)

[MYRE]Haha, my first set up was whatever the school I was attending had to offer. First it was Logic, Reason and a full midi keyboard, then Logic Pro, Pro Tools and an Oxygen25 Midi keyboard, to now using Logic 9 and working my way to learning Ableton Live off my Macbook

[IF]When was your first Gig/Performance?

[MYRE]September 11th 2010 I opened up for a day party thrown by my close friends in the T.I.T.T.S. (Take It To The Streets) crew in Golden Gate Park. I played for the continuos crowd of people walking through the location to Power to the Peaceful.

[IF]Who has been a major influence to your productions?

[MYRE]I'd have to say Worthy and any artist under Anabatic and Dirtybird Records. I love that tribal tech house feel with worldly instruments you hear in Anabatic tracks and the 808 fat bass-lines throughout Dirtybird.

[IF]What are your future goals for performances and productions?

[MYRE]My goal is to be an established producer releasing on a well known record label with all my friends. If I have an outlet to vent my passion for music I'm happy.

[IF]Do you collaborate with anyone?If so who?

[MYRE]At the moment no but I have plans to produce with my friends Skander and Skollie of T.I.T.T.S. in the near future.

[IF]What is your Favorite or preferred performing equipment?(;Turntables(maker)/CDJ's/Drum-pads/Keyboards/Controllers)

[MYRE]I love the versatility of using Traktor Pro. Being able to choose tracks at your fingertips and set where you begin your track and figure out what tracks go best together and setting loops. making DJing great especially hen spinning dubstep in my opinion. I wouldn't have been able to drop Journey's "Dont Stop Believing" or Slayer's "Raining Blood" at random in sets if it weren't for Traktor haha

[IF]What is the biggest event you want to perform at?

[MYRE]If I could perform at any event I definitely would want it to be at Sensation Black! I'm a metal head at heart so naturaly I love the darkness and heaviness on Techno, Drum n Bass, Psytrance and Hardstyle. I'm very much into that vibe.
