Biography

"The music gave me chills and I don't even listen to this style of music. That's when you know it's good! Tears of Technology is living proof of the unfortunate plight of an indie artist." - David Trahan / www.neworleansmusicians.net

Tears of Technology is a dance music producer / remixer from New Orleans. His specialty is in the breakbeat genre, but his creations are mind blowing combinations of several styles of dance music. This 20 plus years of experience as a DJ spinning hits in various local clubs has helped create his expression of this art form. Taking it back to the basics of the old school while utilizing the techniques of modern production, he creates hard bassy clean breaks with incredible trance-like melodies.

Tears of Technology was surrounded by music his entire life. He watched his father play the tenor sax in bands across America. By the time he was six, he was playing the piano. He also played alto saxophone in elementary school and by the time he was 20 he was mixing on the wheels of steel.

Tears of Technology produces full compositional tracks from his heart & inner soul. A beast of skills with hot remixes, new sounds and fresh grooves that test club music's boundaries.

In the last year ToT has released three 12 inch singles, one album, four mix CD’s and one maxi-CD independently through his record label, 504 Productions. He has appeared on releases from 3 Bad Brothaz, DJ Trippy, Angel Moreno, DJ Viro, Hard Knox and Shawn Davis.
