Kevin McHugh (aka AMBIVALENT) is a native of Washington, DC and resident of New York City. His musical development began in DC where he was influenced by the broad nature of that city's music scene. Early exposure to acid-house and industrial side-by-side with DC's homegrown go-go and hardcore punk scenes deeply influenced his music.
After a brief period in London, Kevin moved to New York in 1996. He began producing a music series inside the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage for Creative Time. Over the next 5 years he produced events with artists such as Thomas Brinkmann, Dimbiman, Carl Craig, Ryoji Ikeda, Pole, and many more. It was during this time that he began making a connection with M-nus. He went on to produce events in New York featuring friends such as Magda, Troy Pierce and his roommate Jesse (Heartthrob) as well as Matthew Dear, Akufen and Sammy Dee.
He moved to Berlin in 2004 to help Richie Hawtin produce the Plastikman live concert. He later returned to New York and re-dedicated himself to producing music inspired by his friends. He answered an ad for an apartment, and moved in with a DJ named Camea. She later created Clink Recordings. He DJs regularly in New York, and on his internet radio show, The Nerd Tank, with Camea. He has releases and remixes (past and forthcoming) on Minus, Clink, Klickhaus, Esperanza, and Leftroom.
DEATH BY ACID is the latest Droid collaboration pairing the Detroit electro and techno sounds of Subversive's DJ sets along with the jacking sensibilities of dirty house precision and minimalist techno provided by members of Acid Circus. Hardware is fused with software during this unique live show to create a unique and entertaining performance that includes laptops 909's, outboard FX and many many cables.

I haven't been to an underground in years.. Not much has changed.. still shady.. it is trippy.. nonetheless I had a good time and was a good alternative to overpriced and overcrowded MM. Plus, drinks were affordable. Not much into HOUSE but was good.. Headed out early since I don't party til 6am anymore..
