 Paradigm is a force to be reckoned with. Based in Los Angeles he is an ever present figure in the tapestry of the North American Psychedelic Trance scene. DJ, event organizer and label manager, his fingerprints dot the landscape that is US Psy. 

As a DJ, he is known for his detailed and surgical mixing style, a well curated taste of music and the ability to weave a story through a set regardless of style or time of day. Paradigm is a “DJ's DJ”. A rare slice of the old school that still believes in the "art of the mix" and the story telling journey aspect of a performance. 

Wearing his “promoter hat” as he calls it, Paradigm has been involved in many seminal moments throughout the past 20 years of the Western USA. From being a part of the legendary free festival Gemini to being one of the leads with the internationally known Pulse SF and later Pulse California crew. Perhaps his proudest moment was the formation of Sculpted Sounds in Denver Colorado, an event company that forever changed the psychedelic music landscape of the mountain city and its surrounding region. 

Sculpted Sounds many years later would morph into the music label it is today. With him at the helm he has grown the label into North America's most dynamic and forward thinking home for psychedelic trance. 

Few can deny Paradigm’s drive and passion for the music and the community that surrounds it and truly his name fits him as a paradigm is defined as being the dominant example or model of something.
