DMb | Dance Music blog & Podcast

Long time Phoenix resident Inertia is constantly bridging the gap between human and machine, laying down syncopated atmospheres of computer generated music without sacrificing the heart and soul that people long for on the dance floor. For nearly 2 decades Inertia has been at the forefront of electronic music, both as a DJ and Producer.

As a Producer, his tracks have found their way into the hearts and playlists of DJ’s such as Danny Howells, Deepdish, Paul Van Dyk, Sasha, and John Digweed. In fact, his co-produced track “Time” by The Dream Traveler, was featured as the opening (and only US Produced track) on the legendary “Tranceport” CD by Paul Oakenfold.

A typical night with Inertia behind the decks might include a mishmash of electronic styles. Whether it’s uplifting or dark and brooding, he is going to find the sweet spot in the audience, and ensure they leave with sweat soaked clothes and smiles on their faces.

Inertia’s mix for the final round in the NGDJ competition can be listened to and voted on at the Let’s Mix Website where you can also check out mixes by the other finalists in the NGDJ competition.

Enjoy!
