I started DJing in Los Angeles in the late 1980s - clubs, warehouses, desert parties, later radio. I spent a long time listening, collecting and playing before I started releasing my own music as ZenOne.

The music moves between hypnotic techno, trance and psytrance. I like rolling low end, repetition and arrangements that take their time. Behind the decks I'd rather let a groove develop than reset the room every few minutes.

I've opened the official Gareth Emery x LSR/CITY Cyberpunk Tour afterparty at August Hall in San Francisco, played a pre-sunrise set at Lotus Moon Gathering and held recurring nights at Dead Ringer Analog Bar.

I got curious enough about trance to write a book about it. Euphoria Unleashed goes into the history, how the music is built and the research around what it does to us as listeners. I also write ZenOne Music about what I'm learning while making and playing this stuff.

I want to know why a sound works, not just whether it works. That's probably the thread I keep following.
