Travis is a talented, energetic DJ, producer, promoter and artist, who has spent decades cultivating his musical craft around the world. Years of honing his talent and ear have created a dance floor master, a charismatic character and musical leader capable turning any party into a rocking mayhem. His musical productions are favorite underground hits in his native California, and his parties are famous on the dance scene.
In recent years, Travis has been based in Los Angeles, where his sets are famous in the dance scene for working the crowd into a frenzy. His unique blend of banging electro house, funky breaks and remixes of classic 80s tracks surprises and delights the California masses and partiers around the globe. Some highlights of 2006 include peak hour sets at Nexus New Year's Eve party (LA), Elysium Midsummer Festival (San Diego), Bed Buenos Aires, and the world famous Full Moon Party in Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand - the world's biggest beach party with 15,000 revelers! While in Los Angeles, Travis has also produced major events through his production company Project Alma, like the DJ Stage at Venice Carnevale street festival (05, 06), Cat's Cradle at Burning Man (Nevada 03, 04), Los Angeles Decompression (04). Project Alma produced a major float in the San Francisco Love Parade 2006 to great acclaim in the Nor Cal streets for 100,000 festival-goers. In 2005 and 2006, Alma created the popular weekly summer series Plump at El Cid, and the off-the-hook series of warehouse theme parties, The Prism Series: Orange & Pink. In recent years, Travis has also played prime time sets at the world famous Burning Man festival, the Xara Dulzura festival (San Diego), Greeniversary, ReGeneration and Qool LA. His recent touring has seen FatFinger blowing up sets in Ibiza, Thailand, Vietnam, Argentina and Uruguay.
Born in Philadelphia, Travis grew up surrounded by music, his father a guitarist and his stepfather a life-long recording artist and songwriter. By the time Travis reached his teens, he was driven to share his own ripe musical vision. As early as 1987, Travis could be heard on his high school FM radio station, where he spent countless hours of his youth, jockeying everything from the Ramones to New Order. He continued in college radio in the early 90s and was initiated in earnest into the electronic dance music scene in 1994 while studying in Paris. There he heard Laurent Garnier every week, and caught trance DJs on their way back from Goa.
Travis moved to San Francisco in 1995 where he continued in radio, learning audio engineering at KPFA. That year, he helped to start the pirate radio station Radio X 102.5 which he ran for three years, and conducted the cult classic show, Mindscape. In San Francisco, Travis began to play private parties and clubs like Café du Nord, Babar and Liquid, with a mix of acid jazz, house, trance and abstract beats. His devotion eventually earned him slots with influential DJs like Simon and Corey Black.
In 1998, Travis moved to Buenos Aires to continue work as a DJ, and to add journalism to his radio stripes. There his DJ career took off, as he brought new and refreshing trance, breakbeats and hard house to the notorious South American club scene. He played all the best clubs and venues in the capitol and surrounding areas, alongside Argentina's top talent. His popularity there drove him to begin a weekly Sunday after hours called BURN, and later Fantasy. The three years Travis spent constantly in front of crowds of demanding clubbers gave him an acute understanding of how to work a crowd into a frenzy and how to rock any dance floor any time of day or night. Travis became a regular star guest at club openings and was featured in the BBC's series Choice World Clubbing with Roger Sanchez.
Ready for a new challenge, Travis saw potential in the electronic music scene of Mexico City, the hemisphere's biggest city. So he set out to live there in 2001, and set up BURN Productions in Mexico. BURN quickly gained respect as a quality party outfit, with only the best DJs on its line-up, original artistic production, and an emphasis on community. Travis's exciting and energetic DJ skills quickly earned him a reputation in Mexico as someone who could blow up any party, with his own mix of Nu-NRG, progressive, house, hard trance, and techno. His distinctive, aggressive style led him to become a headliner for the best events in South America, alongside DJs like Mario Piu and Talamasca. From beach parties on the Oaxaca Coast, or in the Cancun region, to a symposium at Berklee's sister University in Mexico, to massive 8000 person parties in Mexico City, Travis rocked the Aztec nation. He also brought top London underground talent to play BURN parties there, like Darren Shambala, Oberon, and Thermobee.
Throughout the years since 1998, Travis has always made an annual trip to the famous Burning Man festival, where he plays peak hour sets at the most important stages the event hosts, like Sol System and Pangea. Travis always loved the open minded crowds he found there, and the energy he was able to create with his genres-spanning sets. His love for California's diverse scene grew through his yearly trips to play Burning Man, and he soon returned to the Left Coast in 2003, this time settling in Los Angeles. Travis's sets were very well received in LA clubs and one-offs, and there he began to produce his own music, which he plays live. He started a new company called Project Alma. Alma has produced many parties in the SoCal underground, bringing a high level of production quality to the scene, with diverse top notch DJs, major artistic installations, and the best vibe in town. Alma also produced Cat's Cradle, a major art and sound stage installation at Burning Man 2004, and other regional events. At the 2005 festival, he was music director at PlayaGround, a bar, pool, and music area.
Travis is a DJ who does not believe in filler tracks or playing sets that are dancing-optional. He gets on the decks, starts rocking it, and keeps the vibe pumping for hours on end, no matter if he's spinning funky house, electro mash-ups or hard driving trance. Travis's energetic and aggressive mixing are instantly recognizable and the vibe always climbs up a couple notches the moment he enters the booth. Travis is known as a reliable, straight forward person, unaffected by the pretensions and arrogance that often plague the dance music industry.
