After many years of teaching and dreaming, I have achieved one of my lifelong goals of becoming a certified Ableton Live Trainer. This is such an honor as there are only 250 or so individuals worldwide that are certified.
Check out my certified trainer page on the Ableton website:

I'll be playing a show at the Scarlet in Central City, CO with Kaminanda and Govinda!
A while back I had the honor of making a remix of a song by Bad Unkl Sista. Then, I was honored again when Tigre Bailando choreographed it and made a video for it. I'm super stoked with how it turned out.
Lots of love to BUS and Tigre for making this happen!

The Next episode of Archontology has arrived.
Due to his loss of connection with reality, Thalemus' ability to rule was questioned. He had become a shadow of his former self, and now even his closest allies had turned on him.
I played a Sunrise set at a secret festival last weekend and wanted to share it with you.
Last week I released two new tracks.
One is the newest episode of Archontology called Delirium.
Here Thalemus begins to lose touch with reality. The loss of his heirloom crown has made him suspicious and petty when dealing even with those closest to him.
Also I released a collaboration with the very talented AK. Check out more of his work HERE.
The next episode of Archontology is out!
For those following along with the story, at this point a thief sneaks into Thalemus' castle and steals his crown, which has been the symbolic symbol of power of his household for centuries.
I'll be doing a full live set at Lovetech next week!
Come support electronic musicians who really care about creating interesting engaging live performance!

Allthemachines.net did a really nice write up of the Archontology project. Big thanks to them. You can check it out HERE.
Here is the second song of my "Archontology: Thalemus" album.
This is part two of a twelve part story that is being produced and released one song a month for the entirety of 2015.
Here in the story, Thalemus quickly exceeds all expectations and becomes a greatly loved and respected king.
Here it is at last! The first song of my new project "Archontology: Thalemus."
At this point in the story we encounter the young prince Thalemus who, after the recent death of his father, is preparing himself for his new role as king. During this song he undergoes his coronation ceremony.
