Hello,
Thank you for visiting my Podcast at PodOmatic.com. My name is Brian Bouffard.

My interest in djing began, when I first set foot in a night club. There was something about the love and community feeling of a dance floor. The way music accompanies and enhance life. I have always found music to be an amazing way to remember and enhance my life. For me music has always had the power to trigger emotions and memories. Just by listening to a song from my past I can quickly be brought back to the memories of what I was doing when I first heard the song.

I was lucky to have a friend who took me under his wing and teach me the in’s and outs of beat mixing records. After, saving for quite some time I bought my first set of Technics SL-1200’s at the age of 18. At that time house music was sweeping its way across the south west. I quickly fell in love with any track off of Tribal UK and Tribal America record label. My style mostly consisted of tribal and diva house. But I was quickly inspired by break beat and just fell in love with the style. Still to this day I have a big soft spot in my heart for a banging breaks!

In the last few years my style has begun to move towards the Electro style. There is something about the grungy dirty baselines with a funky flare just sends shivers down my spine. If you have a love of music, then we are in one of the most exciting times. I know that there are a lot of Dj purists out there that would rather be shot than to not use Vinyl. I too was of that mind set! I have used both Vinyl and CD’s to mix with. Still to this day there is nothing quite like the sound and feel of Vinyl. Now with the days of the power pc and some amazing software you can have the best of both worlds at the touch of your finger tips. Long gone are the days of having to carry three to four crates to your gigs. Now by using one of the most revolutionary software out there Ableton Live gives you the power of the professional record producers at the click of a mouse.

If you have not yet tried Ableton Live you should give it a try! It’s an amazing application that gives you more creative freedom then I ever thought possible. I know there are individuals out there that think Ableton is cheating. But I have to say, Yes the software makes it easier for you to beat match, but there is more to being a good dj than just having beats line up. It’s the art of manipulating and timing music to control the energy of the crowd that makes an amazing Dj.

There is no better feeling than to be behind the decks and see the crowed go crazy!
