LIFE IS ABOUT LIVING IN AND FOR THE MOMENT. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT MANY THINGS. MUSIC RULES MY WORLD. I AM A LEADER, THINKER, AND MOTIVATOR. I AM DRIVEN AND ENERGIZED, YET PENSIVE AND INTROSPECTIVE. WE ALL DIE, AND I HOPE THAT I HAVE SPENT MY TIME WISELY WITH THE DAYS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

- May 19, 12Recently I rediscovered an entire case of Remark cassettes from the 1990s, and I became completely nostalgic about those glory years of clubbing. The audio quality on the cassettes is not very good, so I became inspired to remaster and re-record some of the best Remarkable anthems from that time period. The idea morphed into a new compilation called Remarklassics. Enjoy the first one in the series, Pumpin'. Complete with diva vocals, sirens, and intense rhythm, this is definitive old-school Remark.
- Apr 29, 12More incredible musical energy this spring with a brand new Remark release, Darkoom. This collection of darker, almost techno tunes has been waiting for the perfect time to strike. Uniting some older progressive treats with new dance floor stompers, this mix showcases brooding (and even acidic) basslines, sharp synth stabs, driving energy, and intense yet sparse vocals. Download to celebrate yet another Remarkable chapter of intense music in a Darkroom filled with sound.
- Mar 25, 12Spring 2012 kicks off a remarkable venture into new sonic territory. A Remark first, Supernova slows things down to a cool, deep, sexy 115 beats per minute. This chugging groove interweaves the past and the present through heavy basslines, dubby flashbacks, and minimal space house into one coherent dance floor experience with a massive climax. Let Supernova take you on a new and experimental remarkable journey...
- Feb 10, 122012 begins with part 2 of a two-part new Remarkable mix, collectively entitled Prism+Spectrum. Originally intended to be just one mix, the sound grew to be two distinct, yet connected aural journeys. Prism is darker, deeper, and more brooding; and then Spectrum breaks through with light and color and showers the listener with uplifting energy. Both mixes weigh in at over two hours, and showcase a varied range and compass of incredible sound.

Both mixes weigh in at over two hours, and showcase a varied range and compass of incredible sound.
- Aug 25, 11After many months, the Remark mix of the summer of 2011 has finally arrived. Reign celebrates the excitement and energy of relocating my life to London. Showcasing all new music, this mix picks up where 2010's Floored left off: a demanding, maddening, four-on-the-floor stomper that's pulsing with electricity. Clocking in at almost two hours, Reign is certain to get you moving and grooving.
- Apr 18, 11In 2000, I left my DJing career and moved away from Orlando, FL to Dallas, TX. My future was uncertain and my life was full of change. Now in 2011,here I am relocating from Atlanta, GA to London, UK. My life is yet again filled with extraordinary change and uncertainty. To commemorate this, I bring you Breathe. An intensely emotional mix, Breathe was recorded in Dallas when my life was up in the air. I thought it would be a great way to symbolize my move to London, now ten years later. Enjoy the mix.
- I figured that in 2011 I'd go ahead and upload the remainder of my mixes that I've made over the past 10 years, and to kick off this year, I bring you Perspective. A dark, brooding, deep, progressive stomper, Perspective would be the perfect companion to some late night partying. Originally recorded in 2002, it's got some great big club classics. Hope you enjoy this Perspective.
- Jun 16, 10The Remark mix of the summer is here, so prepare to be Floored. Probably the most intense Remark mix in some time, this carefully crafted energetic extravaganza captures the intensity of the dance floor that has inspired me since my DJing career began. Clocking in at over an hour and a half, it's sure to please and fulfill any party. So get up and get Floored to this remarkable sound!
- Feb 22, 10This mix will certainly heat up what's left of winter and get you ready for spring. This mix is classic Remark, with the kind of energy you'd expect during a prime set of a massive club night. Some of it even hints at a dance-rock theme, with thumping new mixes of U2, Editors, and Doves. Probably one of my most “four-on-the-floor" mixes to date, this podcast will have you grooving in no time. Make it a priority to get on the dance floor!
- The Remark mix of the summer for 2009 is here: Vigorous. Filled with emotion and energy, this mostly progressive mix will have you amped up in no time. With its interesting psychedelic flashback introduction, to the middle intense pounding bass lines, to the final emotional synths, this mix is sure to inspire vigor with every listen.
- Well it's been since January since I have released a new mix, so I thought it would be nice to have two podcasts this summer! The first one is a flashback to 2001 called Recollection. It is quite an emotional mix for me, filled with some of the best late night and after-party tracks from the 1990s that highlighted my DJing career. So download the tunes and remember those amazing days of progressive house music...

- Nov 29, 08The past few mixes, particularly Radio and Prime have really focused on the positive side of Remarkable energy. For the holidays in 2008, I'm taking it dark, dark, dark with Obsidian. Inspired by discovering an old mix on a mini-disc I found, Obsidian is certainly the deepest mix I have ever put together. Only one track has vocals, and they are creepy at best. This holiday, enjoy the darker side of Remark.
- A classic mix for the fall of 2008. Verging on the edge of progressive and deep vocal house, this late night treat is sure to entertain. Dark grooving baselines, spooky vocals, and plenty of rhythm to keep you dancing 'til dawn. Enjoy this edition of the Remarkable Podcast--Necessary. Because it is, after all, necessary.
- Jul 26, 08The 2008 Remark mix of the summer is here--the definitive Prime. I must admit, Prime is one of my favorite mixes ever--the energy starts so smooth, and just builds and builds with positive momentum. Inspired by my nights in Sydney, Australia, Prime is the perfect mix for prime time.
- May 24, 08A fantastic way to kick off the summer, with perhaps my most “pop" mix ever made. Every song is filled with vocals, and it has total commercial appeal to please the widest of audiences. The mix is great for a summer afternoon by the pool or to ensure your party is uplifting and fun. So enjoy Radio, what I wish they'd play more of on the radio!
- Apr 20, 08Probably one of the more progressive tech mixes I have ever made, Hyperspace is the classic sunrise mix--perfectly crafted to take you on an audio journey. There's only a handful of vocal snippets in the entire mix, so it's the music and really stands out. So put on Hyperspace and enjoy the trancey trip.
- Dec 25, 07A perfect mix to kick off 2008! This is my first new mix since Shine, which was released in February of 2007. This mix reminds me of the early 1990s, when I was just starting to seriously DJ...it's filled with uplifting vocals, great breakdowns, and positive energy. It's one of those mixes you listen to over and over again! I hope you enjoy the vibe as much as I do! Happy New Year...
- Sep 28, 07For this podcast I thought I would revive an old favorite progressive house mix of mine entitled Remember. For those of you who were clubbing in the "hey day" of the mid-90s and early 2000s, this will certainly make you remember and relive some of the amazing music going on during that time. Epic breakdowns, sultry vocals, and layered productions created chemistry like no other. So take a listen and let the music bring back the memories...
- The name says it all...this month's edition of the Remarkable Podcast is an adventure into the post-3 AM hour. Dark, brooding, and most importantly, tribal--this mix from 2001 is filled with drums, rhythm, and psychedelic reverberations. It even contains some classic Orlando anthmes from the 1990s. One of my favorite mixes, I hope that it makes you feel or do something Dirty.
- Summer 2007 is here...and this mix is designed to make you smile while in the sun with a cold beer in hand. Programmed with relaxation and soul in mind, Poolside is guaranteed to make you smile and have fun. It's one of my favorite mixes and still holds true to its sound--even seven years after it was recorded. Enjoy!
- Apr 28, 07Described as an “energetic jolt of amazing melodies, slamming vocals, and killer beats", Shock is quite intense for this initial joint DJ venture between myself and Brian Maier. We both selected our own tracks, and programmed quite the creation. We dabble with progressive mostly but even venture into breakbeat with a dark and dirty twist. It's quite a ride...or quite a Shock.
- This mix is one of my favorite mixes I have ever created. It really showcases my sound in a way that represents what I want to bring to the dance floor--as well as the energy and vibe that I always want to strive to create. Kick off your spring right...be uplifted and shake your groove thang with Shine.
- Jan 27, 07A mix from 2004 will kick off the February podcast. Entitled Reserved and inspired by my former residency at Bazzaar Lounge in Atlanta, this mix is designed to showcase my sound from the beginning of the evening to the end. It begins fairly mellow, then builds up through house, explodes into progressive, and comes down with some tribal-tech grooves.
- Nov 30, 06This month's Remarkable Podcast brings you Evidence of Evolution, a mix I did a few years ago with one of my best friends, Anthony Lado. Unlike my other club music mixes, this one is definitely more jazz and tech-house influenced, ideal to play in the background at a party or to chill to while having wine with friends. Listening to it brings a smile to my face every time I hear it, and I hope it has the same effect on you.
- Oct 26, 06This month features part two of my “Best of Remark" anthology. Part one, featured on last month's Remarkable podcast, received so much fantastic feedback! Thank you everyone for listening in and enjoying the amazing tunes! Yes all of these songs do bring back so many great memories. It certainly was the golden era of house music in Orlando.
- Hold on folks, I'm breaking out the archives! After popular request, I'm showcasing my “Best of Remark" series this month and next. This is the first part, 1991 through 1995. These were the songs that “made me who I am" as a DJ--the high-energy vocal tracks from the 1990s that created a foundation and DJ passion that would drive me until this day. So enjoy these classic, nostalgic Remark tunes, they are some of my favorites for sure.
- Aug 29, 06Here's a mix from a few years ago called Glamour. I find Glamour to be one of my sexiest mixes, as if it isn't obvious by the skin I'm showing on the cover...ha! The mix starts off smooth and easy, then continues to build as the rhythms get more intense and the sound grooves from big to dark to loud. One of my favorite late-night creations...
- Jul 27, 06On July 22, I had the pleasure of returning to something I know very well--the radio! My friends at EDM Sound System were kind enough to host me playing for their show on WREK 91.1 FM. I recorded the two hour show and am now posting it as a podcast. The show also features an interview with the duo Deepsky, who played in Atlanta that night. Hope you guys enjoy the mix!
- The Remarkable Summer mix of 2006 has arrived. It's called Vital. Certainly what you'd expect to hear from me--exhilarating, rousing, and intense. Filled with peaks of techno-buildups and valleys of rumbling basslines, if I had to use one word to describe this mix I'd say “wow"ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ. I hope you too will enjoy this: Vital. The Remark Summer Sound, 2006.
- May 31, 06Summer is upon us, and I thought it would be appropriate to publish an uplifting mix from last year. Start is a feel-good mix, with plenty of vocals and bright energy. I planned it with the intention that one would listen to it when starting the day or starting the night--it's perfect for playing on a bright sunny afternoon or for blasting in the car on your way out to a club. So download the mix, crank it up, and Start something!
- Ah, a classic Remark mix! I think the name says it all. This mix has always been a favorite with many of my friends, and I figured I'd share it with you all here. It's probably the most intense mix I have ever made, filled with heavy bass, screeching sounds, and treble gains. Just like the name implies, it was mastered to be turned up loud. Guaranteed to get you energized and moving, Volume is sure to satisfy.
- Mar 30, 06
This month I decided to post one of my favorite mixes, entitled Artwork. I'm very fond of it because I feel it truly represents my sound. Every track has vocals, and it's very stimulating and energetic. The dynamic soundscape ventures from underground to pop, yet all of it retains intense “big club room" momentum. It's a tribute to DJing as an art form, and all the work that goes into it. Tune in and enjoy this month's podcast, Artwork.
- Feb 27, 06This first podcast features my latest mix--an audio celebration of sorts, to signify my 33rd Birthday. The mix is a vibrant collection of driving house music, taking the listener on a ride through bouncy basslines, hard synths, and progressive rhythms. Certainly a representation of my sound, I hope the energy moves achieves its goal: to get you moving.

- Feb 10, 12BACK TO MINE RETURNS IN 2012 WITH THE FIRST SOUNDSCAPE OF THE YEAR, ENTITLED "IRREVERENCE". THIS PHONIC EXPERIENCE SAUNTERS THROUGH CLASSICAL, ELECTRONIC, ROCK, AND EVEN 1980S-INSPIRED AUDIO, TRULY TAKING THE LISTENER THROUGH VARIED, UNIQUE, DIFFERENT, AND EVEN JUXTAPOSING EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES. IT SHOWCASES A MEDLEY OF THOUGHTS AND LINGERING MOMENTS, INSPIRED BY LIFE AND LOVE. THE ENTIRE JOURNEY LASTS OVER TWO AND A HALF HOURS, BY FAR THE MOST AMBITIOUS REMARK | BACK TO MINE TO DATE.
- THE FIRST REMARK | BACK TO MINE PODCAST TO BE CREATED AFTER RELOCATING MY LIFE TO LONDON, SINGULARITY REPRESENTS AN INTENSE AND EXTRAORDINARY EMOTIONAL JOURNEY THROUGH MY HEART. EMERGING FROM EXTREME MUSICAL INSPIRATION AND DRIVEN BY A MAN I MET EARLIER THIS YEAR, JON CHAVEZ, SINGULARITY TELLS A STORY THAT UNFOLDS OVER THE COURSE OF TWO HOURS. THE MOST EPIC REMARK | BACK TO MINE TO DATE, THIS SOUNDSCAPE ATTEMPTS TO SHOW YOU THE EMOTIONS JON AND I HAVE SHARED THROUGH MUSIC DURING OUR TIME TOGETHER.
- Feb 10, 11REMARK | BACK TO MINE RETURNS AFTER A TWO YEAR HIATUS WITH EPILOGUE. 2011 WAS FILLED WITH SIGNIFICANT CHANGE, AND THERE WAS A SURGE IN INCREASED CREATIVE ACTIVITY TO PROVIDE A SOUNDTRACK TO THIS METAMORPHOSIS. EPILOGUE IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST REFLECTIVE SOUNDSCAPES IN THE BACK TO MINE SERIES THUS FAR, AND HAS DEEP PENSIVE IMPLICATIONS. CLOCKING IN AT ALMOST TWO HOURS, BE SURE TO TAKE IT IN FROM START TO FINISH AND FEEL THE EMOTIONAL RIDE.
- Jan 25, 09
- FINISH: THE LIGHT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
PERHAPS THE MOST RHYTHMIC OF THE REMARK BACK TO MINE SERIES THUS FAR, SUSTENANCE ORBIT 2 BEGINS WITH PIANO AND BACKWARD SOUNDS, AND THEN DANCES AROUND SYNTH STABS AND DEEP BASS LINES. JUST SLIGHTLY MENTAL AND SOMEWHAT PSYCHOLOGICAL, THIS JOURNEY TELLS ITS OWN STORY THROUGH EMOTION AND DUB RHYTHM. ENJOY THE ORBIT OF PART TWO OF SUSTENANCE. - Oct 30, 06
- Oct 30, 06FINISH: IT'S JUST A VAIL OVER MY EYES
PART TWO OF SUBLIMINAL CARRIES ON WITH THE SAME DRIFTING ELEMENTS, BUT ABOUT TWO-THIRDS THROUGH, RHYTHM PICKS UP AND THE LISTENER IS CARRIED ALONG PULSING PERCUSSION. IT SOON COLLAPSES, THOUGH, INTO SENTIMENTAL PIANO THAT PROVOKES EMOTION AND THOUGHT. PART TWO CONCLUDES WITH SOME FINAL UNCONSCIOUS-INSPIRED SOUNDS. - START: YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
SECLUSION BEGINS THE JOURNEY IN INDIFFERENT TERRITORY, WHILE HINTING AT HOPE JUST ONCE. MOST OF THE AURAL VENTURE IS CONTEMPLATIVE YET MINIMAL, PENSIVE YET SAD. AT CERTAIN POINTS, THE LISTENER'S MIND IS SIMPLY NUMB, AS THE MUSIC WASHES OVER EVERYTHING LIKE A FLOOD OF SOUNDS. SIMPLY BREATHTAKING, YET ENTIRELY DESOLATE. - Aug 29, 06START: I'M NOT THE ONE
ORBIT ONE BEGINS WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, DRIFTING FROM FAINT SKY LIGHT TO LATE NIGHT DARKNESS. ALMOST EVERY MOMENT IS MELLOW AND DEEP, AS IF ONE IS DRIFTING IN A DREAM. THE LISTENER VENTURES IN AND OUT OF AWARENESS, AND THEN IS SHAKEN AWAKE BY THE EVER-SO-DEMANDING FINAL TRACK THAT CONCLUDES WITH A SURGE OF ENERGY. - Aug 29, 06FINISH: CRYSTAL METH IN METERS OF MILLIONS
ORBIT TWO OPENS UP PEACEFULLY ON AN OVERCAST DAY, AND WEAVES ITS WAY INTO SUNSHINE THAT QUICKLY TAPERS INTO OBSCURITY. THE AUDIO TRAVELS AROUND THE GLOBE WITH HINTS OF WORLD-INFLUENCED MELODIES, RHYTHMS, AND INSPIRATIONS, CONCLUDING WITH TWO COLLIDING EMOTIONAL MUSIC MOMENTS. - FINISH: MY IMMACULATE DREAM
THE SECOND ORBIT BEGINS IN A STRANGE PLACE, BUT MANAGES TO FIND ITS WAY TO CALMNESS AND TRANQUILITY. THE DREAM CONTINUES THROUGH DIFFERENT SHADES OF CONSCIOUSNESS, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF NON-EXISTENCE, UNTIL THE END CLIMAXES IN A THIRTEEN MINUTE REVELATION THAT REPRESENTS THE ULTIMATE IN LIFE REFLECTION.
