Iβm a sound enthusiast, DJ, and curator with a deep-rooted passion for underground music and sonic storytelling. My journey started in 1998, digging through crates and spinning vinyl in basements and back rooms. By 2001, I was performing professionally, crafting sets that blend genres and invite listeners into immersive, emotional soundscapes.
In 2006 and 2007, I worked at Foundation Nightclub in Minneapolisβone of the Midwestβs most respected venues for underground electronic music. There, I collaborated with a range of artists and studied sound under Zak aka DVS1, now an internationally renowned techno DJ and legendary sound engineer. That experience solidified my dedication to high-fidelity audio, deep mixing, and precision in live performance.
The Redlense Podcast is where that legacy continues. Itβs a curated platform for deep house, downtempo, techno, jazz-infused beats, and experimental sound design. Each mix is designed to take you on a journeyβwhether youβre riding through the night or unwinding with headphones. I believe in music as memory, movement, and meditationβand Redlense is where I share that vision.
Beyond music, Iβm the founder and head cultivator at Minnehaha Farmsβa small-batch cannabis operation focused on organic methods, premium genetics, and plant wellness. I share my knowledge through cultivation tips, grower insights, live podcasts and product reviews aimed at helping home growers elevate their craft. From seed to harvest, I believe in transparency, sustainability, and honoring the process.
Through The Redlense Podcast, I bridge these worldsβoffering curated DJ sets, underground sounds, and gear recommendations alongside stories from the grow room and beyond.
