Bert began his electronic music journey in the late 80's attending the legendary AAHZ parties with the absolute wizards Kimball Collins and Dave Cannalte., with many nights hosting the man himself, Sasha, as well as other iconic members of our scene, like Chris Fortier. Bert's love for electronic music was intense and immediate. He started working at the record stores Innagruve and later the legendary Drop Shop in Orlando hosting Drop Radio’s Progressive Thursdays with Danny Moore, aka Ablekid, in the early days of internet radio. He has held many residencies over the years, such as VOLUME and THE CROOKED BAYOU with Chris Booth. So many great lifelong friends have been made through his journey in music, its hard to name them all! Bert’s style is heavily influenced by GUYJ,HERNAN CATTANEO. SASHA, NICK WARREN,FRAMEWERK, as well as future legends KAMILO SANCLEMENTE and ALEX O'RION
