Didn’t I tell you all that The Cycle was returning? Well, I’m not one to let you down. I have teamed up with the folks over at DnBRadio to bring The Cycle back to your eardrums. Wednesday mornings, starting bright and early at 8am (2pm UK), I’m going to be dropping the freshest of the fresh drum and bass.

It’s been a long, trying couple of months since I stopped doing my show. For a while, I thought that maybe I had lost the love for it, but I really think that it was all a matter of just having someplace to call home again. I feel that DnBRadio holds the same values that I do — all about the music — and it seems like it’s going to be a great match. (more…)

Watch out!  March 29th, Saejma invades the Cycle Studios for a special guest set.  We’ll be rolling out tunes from across the board so you do not want to miss this.  Chances are, we’ll run the show a bit long that night, depending on our respective schedules.  So get comfy, turn it up and let the Bassdrive waves hit your earhole.

In case you’ve lived under a rock and you’re not familiar with Saejma, here’s some of her work:

Ben Sage ft Saejma – Ordinary Life

Subsenix ft Saejma – Underground

I often get asked, during the show, if I’m playing anywhere anytime soon.  So here’s the low-down:

I started DJ’ing when I was 18 years old and in the Army.  I had all the time off that I could want, and took bookings when they were available.

After leaving the Army, I worked professionally as a club DJ for a number of years and, again, took bookings as they were available.

As I’ve gotten older, and into the career field of nursing, I’ve found that I typically have less and less time to accept bookings.  However, that said, I won’t turn down a booking that meets these minimum requirements – (more…)

OK, so we’re not really on the road very much this time, but we are moving!  After much trial and error, lots of visits and lots of frustration, C and I have finally found our new home.  We’ll be living about 5 minutes South of downtown Nashville, in Williamson County, TN.  Without argument, Williamson County has the best school district in the state…and living 10 minutes from my office won’t be so bad, either.

That said, this week’s Cycle will once again come to you from Casa del Squake as I put the finishing touches onto the new Cycle Studios.  In all honesty, it’s not even finishing touches on the studio, as that’s pretty well laid out.  What we’re waiting for is Tuesday, when AT&T will come install our new U-Verse Internet connection.

For those of you who might be considering a move soon, let me encourage you to look at Nashville.  The city is amazing.  You get that Southern hospitality feel, with easy access to everything you’d want out of any metro area.  I’m honestly shocked at how much I love living here.  There’s (of course) an amazing music scene in this town, but you might be surprised to learn how little of it is Country.  On any given night, the streets of Nashville are alive with pumping, driving bass.  It’s no wonder that I’m blessed to call this city home.
