Music Tuesday Spotlight: DJ Modulation

This week I had the privledge of interviewing someone I met this summer, DJ Modulation from Arizona. I really enjoy his music and think that you will too. So here we go, an inside spotlight on a great Christian DJ.

Real Name: Sandro Porres

Band/DJ/Artist Name: I go by many names…but I’m not like the other “goes by many names”. DJ Modulation is what I’ve kind of gone by for my solo/live PA sets. But I have two Christian Electronic bands: Modular 7 and KriSand. I also do remixes for other artists under my real name, Sandro Porres.

Genre of Music: The various sides of electronic music.

How/Why You Became a Musician: I was always around music and instruments. Pretty much from birth, if not before, lol. So I guess I was just meant to be doing this.

Is There a Purpose/Vision to your music? Explain: Yes! Very much. I’m on a mission. It’s a spiritual warfare mission for souls. I really believe that all music seeps into the subconscious and can very much influence us. That’s why It’s important for me to promote a good message and positive lyrics that point the way towards Jesus. Some of the remixes I do are not by Christians artists. But I am, so my hope is that people will still find a way to at least wonder why I like Jesus so much.

Best/Favorite Music-related Experience (doesn’t have to be related to your music): I’ve had so many. But I’d have to say the best experiences are when people genuinely get lifted up by the message.

What did you grow up listening to? I grew up listening to pretty much all types of music. From the Beatles to led zeppelin. Stryper and Amy Grant. Metalica..Classical, Dance music….

Your music sounds like (ie: other bands/DJs people might like): I’m influenced by royksopp, depeche mode…so some of that probably comes out in my music.

Anything else you want my readers to know: I believe it all starts from God, our creator. You don’t have to look far, and everywhere you look, you will see how creative God is. He is the ultimate artist. From amazing sunrises to sunsets. To our planet and universe. The human body and all living creatures. God’s masterful artistry is everywhere and in everything.

So with that in mind, I feel that humans make God happy when we are creative too. I imagine God smiling and enjoying all his little creations attempts at creativity. I actually think that God wants us to be creative and has put a little different talent in all of us. It’s sort of each persons purpose to discover these talents and use them in a way that serves a good and Godly purpose.

I just want to thank Sandro for taking the time to share a bit more about himself and his music. Please take the time to check him out: www.myspace.com/djmodulation and download his set from Cornerstone Afterhours 2009: http://tastyfresh.com/rokdownloads/podcasts/specials_ah2009_djmodulation.mp3
