About a week ago, we put out the call for DJ’s, Bands, Entertainers to assuage the crowds at Twestival Boston.

One man answered the call, the enigmatic @teh_center.

I started coordinating with him, and immediately got 3 names back. His real name, his stage name, and his twitter moniker.

Like I said, enigmatic.

Which means, we found our DJ.

So who is our man behind the virtual turntables?

In his own words:

I’m a 26 year old male raised in Western Massachusetts. Been in love with music since very young. Played saxaphone at age 10-12. Then at thirteen learned to play bass guitar then drums at age 18. Played in a couple of rock and industrial bands. Really came to a halt as these stories usually do. I would have to say it is radio which killed my interest eventually in being in a band.

There were other things but one day I was driving and decided against my better judgment to see what was playing on the areas music stations. It was all so sad and awful. Kinda felt like if this is what people like I don’t want any part of it.

At 21 began writing music using Ableton (greatest music DAW ever) and midi instruments.  I have always been a huge fan of electronic music since about age 12 or 13. I really liked sequencing and making noise.

Luckily in early 2007 I found some fellow musicians that were really doing what I was striving for and that kick started my foray into analogue equipment and DJing.

I have been recording electronic, ghetto-tech, and noise for lack of a better word under the name Teh_Center since 2007.

I have released one album download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/156496896/Teh_Center_2008.zip and plan to release another album which is a mixture of bare bone percussion and sci-fi noises by the end of 2009.

For those interested in hearing or reading a little more about teh_center, he has a muxtape page at tehcenter.muxtape.com, and some of his original works are on soundcloud at http://soundcloud.com/kamolivers/tracks. He’s on twitter at twitter.com/teh_center.

Twestival Boston wants to thank Teh_Center for DJing for us!
