Claw's first introduction to electronic music came in 1999 at the infamous Houston massives and smaller raves where he saw acts like Ed rush and optical and Dieselboy that lead to a love affair with electronic music and drum and bass. He then bought tables shortly after going to his first party and by 2000 after many hours of bedroom practicing, he made his public debut and was a resident DJ at Cardis nightclub for the drum and bass weekly event on mondays in Houston. From there Claw went on to play the other weekly events and underground parties in Houston until he moved out to Orlando in 2003 to attend Fullsail. While in Orlando Claw honed his production and DJ skills through working with various local artists and started to play the local drum and bass events. His last gig before leaving Florida was opening for John B at the bank nightclub. Claw moved to upstate New York after finishing at Fullsail and got picked up by Ming & FS as their assistant engineer.
He started an assistant job at a local recording studio in upstate New York (www.leopardstudio.com) and from there plans to release killer mixes and have a whole host of original tracks and projects that will soon be taking over the drum and bass charts worldwide.

This week's Selektor is GEIN a dark, heavy, and hard production/dj team hailing from Milwaukee (or KILLwaukee as they like to call it), WISCONSIN. Appropriately named after the Plainfield Wisconsin pyscho Edward Gein, the group consists of The Butcher (Weston formerly of Defiant), Abel (Habit Recordings) and Saint (founder of Habit Recordings). Shortly after Weston moved from LA to Milwaukee in early 2004, they met up and started making music together. With support from people like Dylan, Technical Itch, AK 1200, and Infiltrata, these three have been dropping atomic bombs on dancefloors worldwide.
With material forthcoming on Moving Shadow, Freak Recordings, Habit Recordings, Defcom and a host of other high profile labels, you are sure to hear from them more in the future. In 2006 they will be coming to kill dancefloors near you.
