Delay: Arreliari Album Release Postponed


Just got some unfortunate news. The launch date for my new album, “Arreliari” has been postponed by our distributor. I will post an update when a new concrete date for the release is set. Sorry to those who are looking forward to it, and thank you for your patience and support!

Remix! Deadmau5 – Brazil (Sonaris Club Rmx)


Finally put the finishing touches on my brand new remix of one of my favorite Deadmau5 tracks, “Brazil.”

At first I didn’t even want to touch the original, because I like it just fine as is, but then I noticed that there weren’t very many remixes of this track out there (maybe for the aforementioned reason) and so I figured I’d do it and let people hear a different side of this track. The idea was to take part of the melody, and more or less write a new track around it, but keep the chill vibe and atmosphere of the original. Before you ask, there are no samples from the original, in this remix, that’s how I roll.

As with the Daft Punk remix I did, I am a bit apprehensive – albeit curious – to post this, since I know Deadmau5 fans are pretty hardcore. But, chances must be taken, and without much further explanation, see the links below the image to listen and download:

It’s Official! New cover design for my upcoming album, “Arreliari”


After almost a year of preparation, editing, fixing and going back and forth, my new (and first) full length electronic [dance] music album is due out (via Addictive Vibe Records & Music Just Music) in the very near future. A final release date will be announced within a week or two, so stay tuned. The album will feature a couple of former crowd favorites, mastered and slightly re-edited, and some never-before-heard original tracks!

At the last moment, we collectively decided to change the album cover (both designs by David Baker, and I think it turned out quite well.

I Want: Beta Nightclub’s “Homegrown” compilation ft. Sonaris + axisONE


Beta Nightclub Sonaris Howmegrown DJ Dragon

This isn’t news, per se, but I wanted to mention it on my website, and maybe get a helping hand. A few months back Beta Nightclub’s (The 2010 #2 dance club in the US, and one of my favorite places to go in Denver on Saturday nights) premier resident DJ - Dragon – put together this kick ass compilation – Homegrown. The compilation featured a compendium of Colorado’s producers and performers (including Orange Peel Moses, mLe, Manufactured Superstars, Jontron, Lea Luna and Pretty Lights among others), and I happened to submit a track (the amazing axisONE remix of my track “Sputnik” – from my soon-to-be-released LP “Arreliari” [October 2010 - Addictive Vibe Records]).

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to attend the release party, so I didn’t wind up getting a copy of the compilation. There were only about 500 copies given out and, from what I hear, they went quickly. So, if anyone has an extra copy, I’d love to have it. :) Look out for axisONE’s remix and some other interesting tracks (including remixes by Draconum & Alex Biagi on my first ever LP “Arreliari” in all major online retailers, October 2010.
