Hello and thanks for checking out my profile! I have an overwhelming music CD collection--much of it is classic rock and hard rock/metal. However, my collection of electronic/dance music has grown to take up a third of my CD collection; so far, all my submissions to Discogs are from this genre. I also have a massive collection of LP's (2/3 of them are comedy) and a huge number of cassettes as well.

As far as oggers go, I'm different. I'm actually a high school mathematics teacher in the small city of Las Vegas, New Mexico (yes, New Mexico, the U.S. state), but I do something unique on the side; I provide music for our school's athletic events, playing crowd-oriented tunes during the pre-game warmups and time-outs (and sometimes I share 'air-time' with our marching band). Some students and staff have given me the nickname "Boom Boom."

My mixes combine various subgenres of electronic music with classic rock/oldies, early R&B/funk, punk/new wave, hard rock/metal, Latin/Tex-Mex, and hip-hop/rap. My preferred electronic styles are Eurodance, early tech/house, hip house, hard house, hard trance, and hardstyle.

Sports I've played music for include basketball (boys and girls), football, volleyball, baseball, softball, soccer, and now wrestling. The style of mix I play depends on the sporting event involved.

*****************************************************************************

I'm administering a Discogs forum on Sports Music, and I encourage anyone to join. You may list your favorite tech/rock/oldies tunes played during sporting events around the world, share your thoughts on these tunes, or even suggest an underrated or ignored tune with the potential to be a real crowd-pleaser (such as Paffendorf's "Where Are You?"). I will make one simple request, though; please keep the Sports Music forum free of cuss words.

If you are seriously interested in anything from my collection (except for those items I've rated as '5'), contact me through Discogs' email system; I'll consider either a sale or a trade for something in my wantlist. I haven't updated my profile for some time, so to anyone who has tried to contact me--I'll get back to you soon.

*****************************************************************************

I do my best to check sources and collect as much info as possible for pending submissions. Having said this, I continue to appreciate all the help and support I've received from the Discogs community, and I will continue to set high standards as a member.

I'll continue to focus on EDM entries for now, but I've added some of my rock CD's to my collection list in Discogs (with more to come); I have many other unlisted AOR/melodic rock rarities, some of which I hope will be future Discogs entries. In addition, I'd like to enter my comedy albums as well; some of them are quite collectible... :o)

It's been five months between my last two updates, but keep checking back. Take care, be your best, and DO your best!

T-78 - The Sun EP - 24-Aug-07 05:54 AM
"When The Sun Goes Down" is a fine example of well-crafted, adventurous hard trance. Driven by hard-pounding rhythms, a few well-arranged bass kicks, a memorable euphoric break, and an intense dancefloor-stomping finale, this track is among Tessarollo & Rishni's best works.

"The Last Sun" leans toward a more standard trance style, but is still worth a listen. It features the same epic melody from the euphoric break of "When The Sun Goes Down."
