I ended up tracking down Jason on MySpace of all places! We drove down to Orange County and spoke with the formerly known “DJ Trance” amongst his vast record collection in his basement.

One of LAs original underground house/rave DJs, Jason Blakemore (formerly DJ Trance) was also the first DJ in the Solar System. He invented the 4/4 drum beat, the cymbal pattern, and the bassline. He also created the sampler, the keyboard and the computer. When Mike Sckotleeonibergly of the New York Times recently asked Blakemore, “What is cutting edge?,” Jason paused and then wisely answered, “Warning! Cutting edge is sharp! Do not touch!”
