Over the course of his career, he has produced over 100 release and numerous remixes, including classics such as "Venus" & "Wide Open" (Missile), "25HRs" (Droid), "Music Box" (4Trk), "Reptilian Tank" & "Chicago" (Contact), Drop Bass, Communique, Hybrid, Truncate, Figure, Plus 8, CLR, Blank Code, Impact Mechanics, Illegal Alien, to name a few.

"Among Midwest rave fans, DJ Hyperactive is a bit of a legend. Along with Woody McBride, Hyperactive was one of the biggest names in a scene of hard techno and acid that soundtracked barns, warehouses and other abandoned buildings right across the middle of America in the early to mid-'90s."

"My influences are somewhere between Chicago jack and Detroit soul, with a bit of Kalamazoo tweak and a healthy love of various broken beat things. Terry Mullan, Traxx, Twonz, Mike Dearborn, DJ Hyperactive, Paris & Billeebob AKA Heckle & Jeckle..."

"Some [of the mixes] that have inspired me the most have been by artists including Jay Denham, Claude Young, and Jeff Mills (all who have tracks are featured in the mix), Mike Dearborn, and DJ Hyperactive. I love how carefree and fearless they were in their mixing and how they were not so focused on technical perfection but rather on creating a compelling story that connects and resonates deeply with dancers."

"Chicago saw the rise of acid house sweep the city with its infectious energy throughout the 1980s. Artists such as Ron Trent, the Hot Mix 5 and of course, Frankie Knuckles were solidifying the cities notoriety as a birthplace of a youth movement that would eventually cross oceans and bring disparate groups of people together like nothing before, and listening on the radio were clubbers, music fans and future stars like DJ Hyperactive."
