though none of us have 'defined' roles, and we certainly try not to pigeonhole ourselves into any set of functions, we all have our specific areas of expertise and chosen areas of specialty. outside of DJing, for example, i dabble in producing/remixing, and i've been very active in the network/computer security fields for quite a long time.

in my role as a DJ, i've been demolishing soundsystems with darkside and techstep jungle for over half a decade. t.linder and i also share the decks quite frequently as tagteam partners; our collective energy coupled with a fearsome collection of techno, electro, and industrial records is truly a force to be reckoned with. one of the main strengths of the DTM is that we're all veratile enough in our respective techno and electro arsenals to battle and tagteam with each other on a semi-regular basis.

i consider it a unique opportunity to coexist in a tightly-knit crew of like-minded heads, with regard to our attitudes and beliefs about electronic music in detroit; where it's been, where it's going, and what we're going to do to take it there. the fact that all of us have been good friends and aquaintances outside of techno and the detroit underground happenings only adds fuel to the fire, and icing on the cake.
