Quetzatl is known for performing LIVE hardsteppin' D&B, his adventurous albums have been featured on College and Digital Radio all over the U.S., Canada and the U.K. as well as in Independent Films and Documentaries. 'Q' was also commissioned to produce an official remix of the theme song of the NFL Tennessee Titans. His reputation has got him gigs playing at events with the likes of Kimball Collins, Hive, LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad, DJ Spooky, Ming & FS, STS9, Spacecraft, UFO!, Burning Spear, Richard Devine, Living Legends, Black Rebels, Larry Keel Experience, Strut, Elemental Harmonics, Phantom 45, Cyberjive and many more. Relying heavily upon improvisation and taking an avant-garde approach to his compositions, Quetzatl continues to push the envelope of live drum & bass and electronica with fast-paced breakbeats, sophisticated rhythms, filtered pads and acidic bass. In addition, he continues his long term project of documenting the sonic waves of the biosphere through conducting field recordings from sacred sites and environments around the planet. This is personified in a series of new recordings which include extensive use of traditional tribal instruments that Quetzatl has collected. A good portion of his time is spent delving into the cosmological belief structures and hieroglyphs of ancient civilizations like the Maya, Egyptians, and Sumerians. When he's not scribbling down the leg to arm ratio of a new Australopithecine finding, he's whippin' 540 fakie big spins and sailing over shopping carts on his skateboard. Conceptual enhancements and technological updates continue to push his sound vibrations into the new millennium and beyond.
