What does it mean?

Paradigm: A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutesa way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especiallyin an intellectual discipline. From Dictionary.com.

From Hanau Germany to Baghdad International Airport (2002-2004). From Fort Bragg, NC to Phoenix, AZ. I bring you Paradigm. While I was going to college, my name was D.J. Smoooth. Paradigm is what I am today, creating concepts of sound, vision, and values.

A lot of times, I will make a song that I may not publish on a CD. After completing these songs or if I make a song that does not match the genre of Paradigm series, I will upload the music to my site and place it in the 'On the "b" sides' category.

Some of these mixes may be published on a Paradigm series album and some may not depending on the need for filler and the intensity of the song; or if the song fits within the genre of Paradigm.

When I was going to Long Beach City College, I took classes in Television Production, Music Production, and Film. I was known to my classmates as D.J. Smoooth. Here are the tracks I created when I was attending Long Beach City College, in Long Beach, California. 1993-1996.

Amidst all of this, I created the Aztec Project as well. However, D.J. Smoooth was not really associated with that piece. That is just Antonio's.

The dates of the project are not exact and was not archived very well.

The First Sequence

Around 1990, I bought my first sequence, the MT-100 Digital Sequencer and Sound Module. It was my first musical machine. Throughout the years, I made all kinds of music. Well, it is all my first, so please be easy.

From jazz to techno, hip-hop to classical, to even abstract, the first sequence is one of my personal favorites. It reminds me of how life was just getting started for me.

The following is music that I made from 1990 until 1995. From Pasadena California, California State University Los Angeles, back to Pasadena California, and to Long Beach California. Here is my The First Sequence.
