"Exstus is on a mission: To spread a message of dance, spirituality and love through the creation of innovative transglobal trip-hop, dub, breakbeat and jungle. Lush sonic textures and phat beats coexist with virtuosic jazz & flamenco guitar in the context of uplifting, ultra-modern, ALL-ORIGINAL songs. Songs and fan feedback may be viewed along with other information at www.exstus.com.This fresh take on modern music is evident throughout the rich diversity of Exstus material currently being produced. On these efforts, traditional world music blends with jazz, the sounds of nature, modern synthesizers and rich bass. Elements from all parts of the globe come together to create multi-textured, 3-dimensional music that makes the body move and makes the spirit soar. In addition to being the featured musical artist at high-profile events such as the 2005 & 2006 Dennis Quaid Charity Classics, Exstus created music for the video game Devastation Zone Troopers and has performed shows with accomplished artists including DJ Rap, Sandra Collins, and Govinda.
