PVK (Primary Element)
http://soundcloud.com/pvk909


BIO: Inland Empire based DJ/Producer, Juan Cabrera (AKA PVK, AKA Ph8z909) has been into electronic music since 1994. At the age of 13, he began collecting a series of DJ mixes from the U.S. and Europe through a family connection (his cousin) who introduced him into the rave scene. As soon as he became of age to actually go to a rave, he focused more on what the DJ's did than dancing (although he did shake his tail feather once in a while). Thus leading him to start collecting his own vinyl records and purchasing a pair of old raggity turntables and a Realistic Mixer. Starting with House music, hip-hop and dancehall, he honed his mixing skills to industry standard. Then, his cousin brought a mixtape that would change PVK's world.... R.A.W's 1996 mixtape "Red Drums"... Fascinated by the new sound (jungle) he began to explore and collect jungle/drum and bass. At the same time, trying out turntablism. Inspired from various drum and bass dj's, producers, and the heritage of his family (his father was a musician and his great grandfather was a music composer and song writter) he took upon the liberty to start making his own music. Now, PVK is still trying to experiment with different sounds and has even picked up a guitar and dusted off his piano to see what he can create. Who knows what’s next…
