HELIX Progression now a monthly at Ruby Skye!
by brian on Jan.14, 2012 | Helix
Super-excited to announce that, after a near-monthly run in the last six months of 2011, HELIX Progression is now officially a monthly party in Ruby Skye’s 4Fourteen Lounge! Derek, Dave and I couldn’t be more excited to claim a residency for our little party at one of the top 100 clubs in the world.
Starting January 27, 2012, HELIX Progression will be going down every fourth Friday of the month in the 4Fourteen Lounge. We’ve already got our first three shows booked, and there are some definite surprises up our sleeves. Hope you can make it out and find out what’s made HELIX the up-and-coming show at Ruby Skye!

Derek Ryan & Means+Function – “Time Will Tell”: Now out on Nu Communicate White Recordings!
by brian on Jan.14, 2012 | Production
After what seems like quite a while since we finished the track, Derek Ryan and I are happy to announce that our track “Time Will Tell” has been released by UK-based Nu Communicate White Recordings! The Time Will Tell EP is only the second release on the White sub-label, so I’m especially proud to be part of their start. The title track is paired on the EP with “Geomancer,” a groovy, organic creation of Derek’s.
Give the track a spin, and pick up your own digital copy at the major online outlets:

2010 Year Mix
by brian on Jan.09, 2011 | Syncopation
In case you missed last Friday’s Syncopation on Pure.FM, the show is now available for free download from iTunes or directly from my Soundcloud! This show’s a little different than the usual format and packs bits from over thirty different tracks into a one-hour show. I also put together four mash-ups just for this show. Give it a click and check it out!
Oh, hi there.

Probably seems like I’ve fallen into a hole for the past three months, which is somewhat true, but rest assured exciting things are on the horizon. I’ve got multiple productions in the works, some of which I’ll be previewing at these two fantastic gigs coming up next month. Hope to see you there!

Here’s a short clip of the end of my set at Ruby last Friday — great crowd that turned out for JOC!

Are you ready to begin your Labor Day weekend with a bang? This one is going to be absolutely massive — I’m without words… except to say how amazing it’ll be to open for one of the world’s fastest-rising trance producers and DJs.
Mark your calendars, tell your friends, buy your tickets, and come out for a night none of us will forget!
UPDATE: Get on the FREE guest list for this event!

Torq: Opening for Ashley Wallbridge & Mike Shiver at Ruby Skye
by brian on Jun.13, 2010 | Gigs
It’s not every week that you get two world-class trance producers and DJs coming to San Francisco to appear as part of a double headliner show. It’s even rarer to have such a performance be the San Francisco debut for one of those artists.
The stars are aligning on July 8th though, and I couldn’t be more excited to open TORQ for Ashley Wallbridge and Mike Shiver at Ruby Skye!
Be sure to grab your pre-sale tickets in advance — this event is going to be HUGE!
