His interest in Electronic Dance music was sparked in the late 80’s while listening to Synth Pop groups on the radio as a child, splicing together his own makeshift mixtapes. In high school, 2rip began to share his passion for dj’ing with other locals, mixing music in his garage where friends & acquaintances would come to hear the latest underground tracks after school. This was the very small foundation of loyalty that would blossom by the thousands. By 2002 DJ 2rip embarked on his first tour of the United States making his mark throughout the underground music scene. With 13 years of experience, DJ 2rip now sits at the helm of producing raves and festival events in 6 different states around the country.

Annihilating Rhythm has become a viral marketing campaign which has blended social media & merchandise amongst the mix compilation that has become the trademark for what defines the sound of the East Coast. DJ 2rip has a fluid but technical approach to mixing as he blends scratching into a raging blend of dubstep, bassline, electro, and breaks leaving his fans soaked in sweat from dancing hard to the onslaught of grimey bass.
