Yo.

Name's Randy. I'm an autistic DJ/Producer, Gamer, Cosplayer & more.

If you like Trance, House, Anime, Gaming, Tech, any combination of those, or just want to, feel free to add me.

I also welcome those that are neurodivergent or also are passionate about mental health and its advocacy!

GET READY FOR THE NEXT BOOTLEG!

I've been a huge fan of the #Tekken series since my teens!

Much so that I've converted the theme of a game I got alongside my #PlayStation2 one Christmas, #TekkenTagTournament into a #Trance banger to KO the dancefloor!

What would the legendary #Trancemusic anthem known as 1998 by #BinaryFinary sound like if came out.....in 1988?

This #progwave (portmanteau #ProgressiveHouse & #Synthwave) bootleg I made provides an idea.

If a AAA game maker is making players cough up $70 for a classic remake (or any game for that matter), they need to make every effort to ensure its on point. THE FIRST TIME.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is out now but there have been reports of various bugs.

We're less than a month away from the release of #METALGEARSOLID Delta: Snake Eater!

I gave the game's theme song performed by the lovely @1cent.bsky.social some enhancements for the dancefloor as well!

It's still available for FREE DOWNLOAD!

What a thrill I had remixing this! Here's another song from one of my favourite video games, both in MGS series and and overall. I finished this dark house version while flying to Cleveland to DJ at

Re: My Twitch Streams.

I do apologise that I haven't been consistent with them.

Now that I have a new job, I'll still do them on Wed or Thursdays (depending when I can get on the raid train) at around 9pm EST.

Meanwhile, why not catch up on my past mixes at www.mixcloud.com/djranz ?

The phrase ALWAYS USE PROTECTION also applies to concerts & the dancefloor. Lately, I've been the only one on the lineup that wears earplugs at shows.

Ears are the most important tool an artist has. Those that want to have a long career in DJing need to do better to protect them.
