Not many musicians can move around the many genres of music as easily as B:ill, having been a drummer since his mid teens and a DJ since his early twenties.
He instinctively understands rhythm at his core and it is a universal appeal he tapes into easily. Whether he is DJing in a club or behind his drum-set on stage, he creates and plays music that gives emotion a voice and creates a journey for the listener.
His DJ'ing career began in the winter of '95/'96, with his first residency
starting in March of '96(lasting until August of '98) at the legendary and
now defunct after-hours club Synergy. There he played 9 hours sets every Friday in the second room.
From there, he and partner Byron Holstine began hosting Tranceformation on Saturday nights in November of '98(lasting until March of '01) at the Snake Pit, another infamous club in the Denver underground scene with legendary nights such as, Breakdown (Thursday nights) hosted by Fury and Skunk Motel(Monday nights) hosted by DJ Skunk. Tranceformation was nominated for best club night in Denver in the 97 Denver Dance Music Awards. B:ill and Byron shared the tables with some of electronica's biggest DJ's during Tranceformation, such as Steve Gerrard, Jerry Bonham and Boyd Westerman to name a few.
In the spring of 98 B:ill opened Fuel Record Store. Which DJ Keoki made a point of shopping at every time he was in Denver saying, it was one of the best record stores anywhere.
Additionally between 97 & 99 B:ill was a resident for 2 different radio shows on the University of Colorados Radio Station KUCB. Each lasted 6 to 8 months and were about a year apart.
In May '01(lasting until September '01) B:ill made the jump to
another stalwart in the Denver underground scene, Rock Island, when he started hosting Static every Sunday night in the basement.
B:ill took on Denver's second after-hours club in November of
'03(lasting until October '04) club Amsterdam, hosting Fuel on Friday
nights. Guests such as Shawn Astrom, Gift, Little Mike, and others played.
His last residency was at La Sala. Hosting Absolutly every Friday night. This started in March of '04 and went until April of '05.
