Bio: Catharsis' first experience with electronic music occurred during the early to mid 90's in the San Francisco industrial scene. Genres ranging from no wave, classic EBM, to electro-industrial provided early inspiration and a stomping ground that would later translate into a larger appreciation for all edgy EDM genres; most notably acid/hard techno/powernoise and there synthesis industrial-techno. During '96 to '02 Catharsis relocated to San Luis Obispo, CA. In '98 he started DJing and over the next four years ran approximately 90 electronic music events from club oriented (Bad Monkey) to undergrounds that hosted many international producers/DJs and California based performers. In '02 Catharsis returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. Recently, he has turned his focus to producing various genres of techno and spending a lot of time in studio. In '03 Catharsis formed EGR Records. The Xenos EP is his 1st release. Beyond DJing & producing Catharsis is available as an audio engineer for mixing and mastering for CD and vinyl working at the EGR studio in SF: Audio Services
Catharsis formed EGR Software in 2004 and is coding a cutting edge software environment for real time graphics and advanced
control of DSP/synthesis engines.
