DJ/Producer trying to make my name in drum and bass.
Why this name?
I have always tried to stick to the roots of drum and bass which is the darker stuff hence where my name comes from and thats also the style i use in my sets.
Do you play live?
Ive played at few clubs in Nottingham, England,where im from and had a fortnightly residency for about a year at a local drum and bass night, played at x-amount of house partys. My best moment was playing the last set of `99 at a place called the skyy club it was only small place but the place was still going for it!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I reckon it gives people more music to listen to. and it gives up and coming djs/producers/mcs etc. to showcase their music and get feedback.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
i would but only on the grounds that i could carry on doin my thing and not what they were tellin me to produce....but...id prefer to keep my sh*** underground!!!
Band History:
Ive been into drum and bass/jungle since it all began, when it was called jungle tekno back in 92'/93' and ive been mixing for about 6 Years.
I like making my own tunes and have been doing for about 1 year so im still new to it.but reckon i know enough of the music to know what people like and want to hear.
