Silpher

Playing tracks for people, helping to illuminate the path to better music, has been Silpher's passion ever since he started making Industrial and EBM mix tapes with a single cd player and tape deck, early in his teens. It was love at first sight, reorienting his focus directly on everything related to Electronic Dance Music, starting with helping to found the University of Oregon's campus radio station (KWVA), as the Electronic Music Director, and eventually the Programming Director. Since then, Silpher has thrown parties, owned and operated a ServoDrive / Sound Physics Labs sound system (Stylus Systems), owned and managed a record store (Stylus Grooves), designed party flyers, and taught other interested folks his knowledge and experience as often as possible. The electronic dance music scene is in Silpher's blood, and he can't see living without it. Currently, Silpher resides in Portland, OR, managing sound systems around town, and playing clubs and festivals throughout the year.
