Apogee

Introduction: Astrologists describe Apogee as the point in an orbit most distant from the body being orbited. It is also known as the furthest or highest point. This is something Jordan Wirthman took into consideration when choosing an artist name, alter ego, and all-around focus for the future. With a progressive mindset and reservation for growth, Apogee has found himself what he claims "coming full circle" by following the path he stumbled across in early 2010. Starting out with a set up fit for a young, traveling and moderately informed rookie, Apogee quickly grasped the concepts of beat matching, mix dynamics, and overall fundamentals in the art of mixing. After 2 years of performing this way, it was time to move in a different direction, and this took the form of original production and sound engineering. Through this also came the conversion to the music production software, Ableton. Turning the corner from DJ to producer has proved a positive role in Apogee's journey, bringing him "full circle" to the roots of his expression. "I want to produce tunes that make people feel. Make people think, resonate, and most importantly react." -- Apogee Recently, Apogee has chosen to primarily focus on producing music and performing only as a means of showcasing original and collaborative tunes made by himself or others involved with the Orbic Frontiers, a concept label in which himself and DJ Gon are founders of.
