Bio:
First publicly playing at a
large party in 1988, DJ NoN (whose name had not been chosen yet) had been bitten. Having
worked on the promotion and technical side of the club scene and not a "closet"
DJ anymore, he quickly fell into DJ circles in the Midwest and made many friends.
Being an experienced sound and lighting technician he worked part-time in college at the
renowned Blue Note. Soon he began working closely with technical crews for touring bands
like The Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins and They Might Be Giants to help developed their
Midwest stage shows. During this time he gained an inside knowledge of the music industry
along with making many industry contacts.
Living his love for music, DJ NoN gained a lot of experience playing at private and local
after-hours parties. He got his first real break as a substitute DJ for one of the largest
dance nights in the Midwest. From the great crowd response he gained his first club
residency. It was at this point that he chose his dj name as "non" after the
nihilist electronic artist Boyd Rice.
For the last 19 years DJ NoN has been involved in the music scene as a promoter / remix
artist and DJ. He has played at clubs and events in the U.S. Canada, Mexico and several
European countries. DJ NoN is mostly known for his harder edge "industrial"
style of Djing but is probably one of the most versatile old school Djs around today
having lived and played thru the 80's and having been involved in the early
"rave" (techno, trance & house music) scene in the Midwest. DJ NoN with his
trademark cowboy hat, punk dress style, diversity, and ability to read the crowd is what
makes him unique. Currently he lives and promotes shows in Portland OR. U.S.A.
