"The drawing-rooms of one of the most magnificent private residences in Austin are a blaze of lights. Carriages
line the streets in front, and from gate to doorway is spread a velvet carpet, on which the delicate feet of the guests
may tread. The occasion is the entrée into society of one of the fairest buds in the City of the Violet Crown."

-O. Henry, October 27, 1894

Started in October of 2004, I introduced my sound The Violet Crown Sessions. In an effort to diversify the
culture of Electronic Dance Music I strive to bring together masterfully produced tracks from today’s great
and upcoming artists as well as many of today’s existing. These sessions combine ambient, progressive
breaks, and progressive house; as well as other forms of Intelligent Dance Music . Each session is roughly
60 minutes of carefully selected tracks determined to show audiences abroad that dance music isn’t just
the music played on the radio, but it’s still very much underground and very much appreciated by many. So
allow me to open your mind to the grand soundscapes of The Violet Crown Sessions…
