production. After 3 years in the army Surreal returned home
to Tampa, where he became active in the local battle scene.
Helix

and DJ Balance. The group released a 12 inch record in 2002
followed closely by their full length LP "Soundpr%f".

After the completion of "Soundpr%f" Surreal started working
on his solo effort "Godspeed". He draws from many spiritual

life.

show called the "Turntablist Broadcast".
