Disco Afterlife!

“The culture became a part of me, and then it became me.” 

This alone describes David “Afterlife” Williams, his passion for his work, the road that he took to becoming one of the most respected DJs in the San Diego scene, and where his future is headed.

 

So how does someone who's roots in the hardcore scene of his hometown Jacksonville, Florida branch out and make his way to the exclusive bars and nightclubs of San Diego? By way of Bahrain and Dubai, that’s how.  During Afterlife’s stint in the military, he gained knowledge and passion for a very broad spectrum of music and theory.  I mean, what the hell else can you do in the middle of the desert?  You learn and dream.

 

His plans and dreams included learning literally enough of every instrument to become a one man band.  I have another question for you.  How the hell was he to use all learned instruments simultaneously to piece together a work of art that he could share with the world?

 

Mastering another craft...  Electronic Music.

 

“Disco House is my favorite.  The music is harmonic, spacey, and moves like a never ending dream.”

 

You can’t speak like that about something that you aren’t passionate about.  Afterlife knows exactly what he wants in his style of music.  He wants you to dance.  He wants you to feel in your soul what is coming from the other side of the speakers, and he uses exactly the right tools for the job.  In fact, he uses one tool that no one else does, and he gave the secret to Turbo.FM to share.

 

“The Tonium Pacemaker is what I'm best known for here in San Diego.  I'm the only one that uses and plays an entire set live with one. It's the size of a Sony PSP and holds up to 120GBs of music.”

 

Sure, equipment comes into play, but everyone knows that the technique keeps them coming back to dance to certain sounds every weekend.  It’s the flow and feel of the set. The technique, he has; harmonically blending tracks, vinyl styling, hi and lo filter, and the build- up are all things that keep you coming back to this magical sound every chance you get to hear it.

 

It’s an art, and he is an artist. 

 

 

 

“Make an impression on the listeners that they will never forget.”

 

You owe it to yourself to experience a set from David Afterlife.  Where is he going?  In these humble eyes and ears, straight to the top and he won’t stop.  He doesn’t know how. There is a reason you go see him whenever you can.  If you haven’t, he has put in his time to perfect the art of the set, and you should take the time necessary to have your mind un-naturally blown.

 

Not to worry though.  If you haven’t, Turbo.FM has you covered with an exclusive mix [Download].

 

Enjoy, my friends.
