DURTY- DISCOGRAPHY |

 |
Aaron Waters (a.k.a DJ Durty) came into music the
way most do. He broke out an old guitar at the age
of of 13 to play loud-ass music. Initially influenced
by such gospel acts as Metallica, Pantera, Morbid
Angel, Megadeth, etc., he later went on to form two
metal bands in Tallahassee, Florida. At the age of
21, Durty joined the Army, and after basic training,
was sent to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey,
California. He was then instantly submersed in the
rich Dance Music scene that exists in Northern California.
After only a few months of being exposed to electronic
music in clubs and raves, Durty saw the need to explore
the inter-workings of how electronic music was made
and arranged. He started by using Fruity Loops in
his spare time and after few months, also picked up
DJiing. In early 2004, Durty began to DJ at raves
and a few club events in San Francisco. After much
trial, and even more error, Durty began playing his
own production out in Summer, 2004. He struggled to
find a sound that would best suit his gigs, but found
his production falling below par.

Spending some
time with a few UK producers (the ones who pioneer the music
he was writing) Durty found his main sound. He still typically
loses it when he gets really drunk, only to be found next
to his car keys. Anyways, Durty buckled down, spent too much
money, and stayed up way too late at night to finish his first
artist album, Nautical, which was released independantly on
December 4th, 2004. He continues to produce and to do collaborations,
as well as DJ in the Bay Area and Monterey. He is currently
putting together his second album with a targeted release
around early 2006.
