I became involved in the electronic music movement in 1998 when a close friend dragged me into a dark nightclub in San Diego. I heard about the scene on many occasions, but was never willing to open up to it. After one night in that club, I began what has been an incredible 15 year journey. Electronic music – whether it's techno, tech house, house music, progressive house, breaks, chill or workout mix – has had a huge impact on my life. It is very emotional to me. It can match any of my moods, and it has a way of just letting me be. These mixes are a reflection of my moods – some are mellow and some are very intense. You probably share those ups and downs, and for that reason I'll sit in my room, late at night, and try to get these mixes just right. Hope you like them. Etch
