Biography:
"One of the best DJ’s I have
ever heard" said James Hu CEO of Funk Theory
Productions after hearing Randall Glenn play for
the first time, "He plays from the heart."
Hard work and promoting himself through the San
Francisco underground scene, were the solid steps
Randall took to get his foot in the door of the
music industry.
Randall grew up in a
suburban city outside of San Francisco, California.
The city of Tracy, California was where he first
began to follow his heart towards music. It
was not until the age of 13 that Randall was
introduced to 'electronic' music by his brother
Ron. When he heard the CD 'This is Techno Volume
7', it grabbed his attention in such a way that
he could not listen to anything else. Randall
started to venture out, seeking the sound that
he had heard on that CD.
On this search he discovered
the San Francisco underground scene, which he
became more and more familiar with. He began
to notice that there were many different genre’s
of electronic music, including techno, trance,
house, drum & bass, and jungle. He became
familiar with some legendary San Francisco DJ’s,
such as Jeno & Tony from the Wicked Crew,
DJ Dan, and Mark Ferina. The one that had the
biggest impact on Randall was Sahid. Randall
witnessed him at an underground event in 1997,
where he found what he was looking for, his
niche.
Randall loved what he
heard so much it inspired him to explore DJing
on his own. He spent numerous nights and days
in his garage looking for the right sound. That
sound was trance. From that time on, Randall
has grown and developed his own style of mixing.
He has also sought out new sounds in progressive
house, and hard progressive trance.
In 1997, at the age
of 18, Randall met a man by the name of Alain
Octavo. Alain was one of the top promoters for
Feel Good Entertainment, which was one of the
biggest production companies in the area. Alain
asked Randall for a demo after hearing him play
at a local house party, and everything took
off from there. Randall was asked to play at
Feel Good’s next massive, which was 'Splender
Blender.' After Randall filled the room and
rocked thousands of people, he was approached
by many other local production companies. Since
then his career has skyrocketed.
He has played alongside
Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Dirty Vegas, Donald
Glaude, DJ Dan, and many other major players
in the scene. He has also played at many major
venue’s including Palace in Sydney, Australia,
and other venues in New York, Miami, Dallas,
Detroit, Phoenix, and in his home state of California.
After accomplishing
so much in his DJ career, Randall has decided
to take it a step further and start producing
his own music. He has already completed the
track 'This is my sound' with DJ Rene from Bachelors
of Science, UK/Flex Records, UK, and is currently
in the studio working on his new single 'Revelations
From The Deep.' He is also working on remixes
for the likes of Brahma.
He is looking forward
to the future and what it has to offer, and
hoping that he can give something back to the
scene that has carried him this far.
