in a scene where everything is governed off standards he really didn't know what he was getting himself in for in the beginning.
DJ Psyphoria the act he create was designed around the concept of "Psychdelic Euphoria" which would be the best way to describe the audible hallucination that comes from powerful music.
The magic essense that is what makes the Dancefloor such a holy place.

After many years of a barrier he had in what he was trying to do Don decided to then go over to Digital Hybrid Djing, where he uses the Mixer with a controller and laptop.
Musically for many years DJ Psyphoria was centered around the more uplifting Fullon morning sound of psychedelic and typical sounds you would have expected to hear him mix would have been the productions of such acts as Astrix, X-Noize, 1200 micrograms, Skazi, Wrecked Machines, The Freak Show, Orpheus and Delirious amongst other great names in that field of fullon.
Then in 2010 a close friend introduced him to the Night Time side of Fullon, The more frenetic obscure noised darker brother of the more warm uplifting morning sounds.
Once he put his mixing idea's to mixing this style he was instantly hooked on it the almost unbelieveable ammout of power that could be made with manipulating these tracks and it became more suited to the way Don likes to mix.
Today you can expect to hear DJ Psyphoria playing such sounds as Alienn, X-Gen, Mageneto, D.N.I., A-Mush, Delieriant, ZInx, Sidhartha and other Truly brilliant sound designers in this field of Psychedelic Trance.
