As a kid, Ender's father was a crucial influence on his musical taste, owning 1 pop record in his vast collection. He designed and built his stereo components and speakers, which was inspiring. Having developed an ear for the unusual, it was only natural after heavy industrial and hardcore punk influences in high school, to pursue the genre of electronica. He discovered The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, and many others in high school, and in '96 heard breakbeat/jungle for the first time, LTJ Bukem's Logical Progression.

After a few years of travel, he found himself in Taos, and formed Digital Oasys with a friend from the east coast. He taught himself how to beatmatch on pioneer CDJ-100s with anything he could get his hands on, including house and trance. After our first big event, and seeing djs mix on vinyl, he was blown away and knew he was to spin drum and bass. After a 3 day outdoor in CA with the same crew we brought out a few months before, the path was clear. Digital Oasys moved operations to the east coast, then he invested in equipment and starting mixing on vinyl (in November of 2001), forming Threshold Productions with Nate aka Muad'Dib and within 3 months released the mix cd "Stress Fracture".

Threshold has spawned many events, including Acheron, and Revisited which (despite the dust) drew people from as far as Mexico. Threshold's work with the Cloudfactroy collective in San Francisco has taught me to realize his passion in the form of Threshold events, to bring that vision to the community and beyond. Threshold strives to keep the underground alive, with not-so popular genres like techno, drum and bass, and hardcore, but equally support all genres of electronic music.

Since early 2004 he has begun to dedicate most of his time to production, putting together a functional studio, and building and molding his existing equipment. He has built a 2 voice analog synthesizer, and his next project will be a class A tube driven mixer.

Current dj mixes include "Stress Fracture", "The Ansible", "Third", "Onerology", "PatternRecognition" and "Force of Habit".
