Drumspyder

Drumspyder blends live middle eastern percussion, rhythms from around the world, and 21st century electronica into a hypnotic yet varied dancefloor mix: from slinky & seductive downtempo to funky, bass-bumpin' house. His tracks and remixes have appeared on Dakini, Wonderwheel, Desert Trax, Caravan, Water Music and Six Degrees, as well as numerous bellydance DVDs. Hailing from San Francisco's vibrant dance and indie-circus, scene, Scott Sterling was percussionist and composer for the innovative AWD and Xeno ensembles before he took up Arabic percussion and collaborated with dancer Kristina Cañizares as music director of the Nekyia. Together they created a sensual fusion of bellydance with latin, jazz, burlesque, and circus influences. At the same time he collaborated and toured with Jef Stott (Six Degrees) as well serving as music director for two of the highly acclaimed Oakland Crucible theater productions. He is now pursuing a solo career full time: producing tracks and remixes nonstop, DJing and performing.
