  2. Lot’s Wife
  3. Eclipse
  4. If I Failed
  5. Looking Back
  6. To the Ocean
  7. The Same Coin
  8. You Were Gone

In 7th grade, Cisco Cutter played a Metallica tape on the way to baseball practice. It blew my mind. Years later, he asked me (drums) to join him (bass, vocals) and Mike Dixon (guitar) to form Drift. These are the digitally remastered tracks from our demo cassette.

Basement Days, 1996

Stanley, 1996

  1. The Ruler
  2. Sometimes
  3. Jingles
  4. Strawberry Aura
  5. Halfmoons and Smiles
  6. Flood
  7. Cavin’s Ice
  8. The Ruled

When the rest of Drift graduated, I retreated to my basement and first synthesizer. These tracks were also pulled from cassette. No masterpieces, but not half bad considering I was 17.

A Single Step, 2000

Stanley, 2000

  1. Breathing In
  2. Aetherix
  3. Instrument of Evil (Mad Stompy mix)
  4. Tears of Triumph
  5. Fly for You (feat. Emily Jones)
  6. Between
  7. Decay from the Inside (Healed mix)
  8. Vanisher
  9. Whalesong

One day in college, a friend invited me to a rave. Not long afterward, I got serious about making electronic music. I only sold ten albums on MP3.com (no iPods back then), but these tracks became my staples during live sets.

Interphase, 2002

Stanley, 2002

  1. Neverland
  2. Bigbadwolf
  3. Angelvault
  4. Docile
  5. Ignorance
  6. Urgency

By 2002, the “rave scene” was coming undone. Under increasing police scrutiny, Sunshocked Entertainment had thrown its last party. These tracks are born of my frustration in watching it all wash away.

Procyon, 2005

Stanley, 2005

  1. With a Right Twist
  2. Refuse to Be
  3. The Security of Obscurity
  4. Gimme Shelter

I moved to San Francisco, got a job in the “dance & hip-hop” department of a record store, and proceeded to write my favorite tracks to date. I even looked into pressing some vinyl but by 2005 everyone was moving to Final Scratch anyway.

Two-Sworded Raccoon, 2006

Stanley, 2006

  1. Martyro
  2. Chopscotch
  3. Tangerooms
  4. Grimaciate
  5. Gasolinthe

Life in San Francisco was exciting. Time for music got harder to find. These tracks don’t hang together as an album at all and don’t feel like progress after Procyon. But it hurts to not write music at all… so sometimes I do.

Mixes

Revenge of the Werds, 2003

Stanley, 2003
Obligatory hip-hop mix. Everyone has to do one at one point.

In with the New, 2008

Stanley, 2003
Justice, Rex the Dog, probably some Daft Punk. Y’know. That kind of stuff.
