beyond beserkley ...is what I did during the dark ages of recorded music. Beserkley, the company, went into a state of suspended animation. Everyone with any sense headed for the hills, but I couldn't stop recording worthy projects. The corporate marketing machine, bankrupt radio, and the repressive thinkers of the time overlooked all this fine music. With the introduction of the internet, Beserkley is back. We have joined forces with MP34U to reintroduce that "Out of the Box" thinking that has made MUZIC the most exciting language on earth.

The recordings I make always seem to be ahead of their time.
MP3 4U Chartbusters, Beyond Beserkley is a compilation of the next chapter of recordings I've done here in Berkeley, California with some truly unique, gifted artists. I never stopped making records, just (stopped) marketing them. The Internet has given me renewed hope that these recordings might reach a larger audience.

Please buy an advance copy of MP3 4U Chartbusters, and I'll autograph it.
