About
I've been a DJ since mixes were things you made on cassette tapes, and only for people you really, really liked. I started in college radio, then moved to club DJing when I was of legal drinking age (suuuuuurrrreee). My musical proclivities are all things dark & dirty, preferably with creepy synth lines, trippy vocal samples and driving dance beats...mmmm!
I prefer to DJ evil-sounding, non-diva house music influenced heavily by Germanic electro/industrial EBM. I call it "DarkHaus" when people ask, because it sounds cooler than saying "evil-sounding, non-diva house music influenced heavily by Germanic electro/industrial EBM".
I also enjoy listening to and/or playing genres such as: full-on, drum 'n bass, witchhouse, electro-pop, techno, minimal, progressive, trance and psytrance (particularly darkpsy), and appreciate the production work of some electro-heavy pop and hip-hop, so I tend to genre-wander a bit when I play depending on the crowd response. Which you'd know had you listened to any of these darn mixes...
Also because of size/space limits, I have stuff up at http://www.mixcloud.com/Punketta
