DC Slater is an adroit, enthusiastic guitar player from Wayne, New Jersey (U.S.A.) who expresses his style as instrumental rock, as one can appreciate on his latest album, "Altitude".  His favorite guitar is an Ibanez. Slater has played guitar since 1988, and candidly acknowledges his career aspiration, "Aside from being a musician and producing my own music, I am working on setting up a commercial recording studio and producing for other artists."
When asked to name his number one effect for the guitar, Slater answered back with, "Stereo delay," and then cited his musicial goals, "My music ultimately reflects my mood at any given point in time. I find that my best writing comes when I'm not trying to write. Forcing an idea almost never works for me... occassionally it does. I guess the goal is to create music that allows the listener to freely interpret it in their own way. I try not to dictate my ideas... I just toss them out there." He hopes to one day study jazz (I love listening to Django Reinhardt's style - incredible stuff), and is at this time listening to Joe Satriani, Van Halen and early '90s rock. His utmost fulfillment? "When people tell me how much they like something I've written... that it means something to them. Now that's a cool feeling," he affirms unquestionably.
 Slater concludes by mentioning continuing and future undertakings in his own words, "Taking care of business, working on the next album, rehearsing and gigging, producing for other musicians, and constantly tweaking my sound. I'm hoping to have the next disc out by the summer of '07."
