Biography

About GS -
A producer and DJ since 1993, GS has seen his creative design come full circle. Initially producing techno and house, he later delved into the realms of breakbeat and trance. Drawing upon his widespread experience, GS now incorporates elements from all styles of dance to generate spellbinding melodies, driving rhythms, and thunderous beats.

House surges through his veins, yet GS strives to discover something different - to create that flawless mix of sound and groove that is unmistakably his own. His style of blending traditional and nontraditional sound has led GS to develop a unique approach to production. It is this advanced design that allows his inspiration to flow through his music, mixing catchy hooks with mind-numbing tones to spawn a next generation of electronic music.

GS also is a regular DJ at reBar NYC in Brooklyn, voted 2007 New Bar of the Year by Time Out magazine. For dates, click on my calendar or check out www.rebarnyc.com.
