Deebs  started playing classical music on the violin at age 5. During highschool he taught himself the guitar and drums and played with a few bands – nothing very serious though. Once university hit he became exposed to the electro scene and was immediately influenced to start producing his own tracks and DJ’ing. He’s been producing his own stuff for about a year now and has been DJ’ing for about a year as well at parties and a couple clubs along the way. This summer him and his friend are organizing the “Four to the Floor” parties in Guelph with the goal of promoting electro music in Guelph and giving exposure to local/Southern Ontario DJ’s. He hopes to get more and more shows in the near future while continuing to produce his own original mixes as well as remixes.

Tell me some of the dj’s you’ve performed with?
I’ve been lucky enough to DJ with Torontonians: Thunderheist, Gingy and Golden Gloves in my short DJ’ing career.

Who would you like to perform with in the future?
Daft Punk…I heard their live shows are OK.

Who were your greatest influences musically?
Started listening to Radiohead and The Chemical Brothers in university about 3 years ago. The diversity of their music allowed me to make the transition from listening to indie/experimental rock into purely electronic music. I think Radiohead’s more recent albums Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief really motivated me to start playing with effects and synths. I came across a Crookers’ mixtape as well over a year ago… that got me into the grimey shit.
