| Musical Background |
In the late 90s, I discovered electronic dance music through Napster. It was during a time in which trance was beginning to explode in Europe and therefore sparked my early obsession with the genre. I feel in love with the powerful melodies and studied the top DJs including Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, and Armin Van Buuren to understand the art of mixing, seamless blending, and the importance of creating a journey and story for the listener.
In college, I purchased my first complete DJ equipment included turntables, mixer, and speakers and was finally able to share my love for music at formal dances, house parties, and local bars.
After college, I started work for a large engineering company and wondered where I was going to take my passion for music. As if on purpose, on a business trip in NY, I met Nine2Five during a late night discussion about music and started sharing thoughts about audio software, podcasts, and upcoming producers. Several online chat sessions later, Office Ravers was born in 2011.
