Capsacium Records, my goal in music right now is basically just to keep putting out fresh sounds particularly in the Jungle/Drum and Bass Scene. I like to experiment with new things and conventional sounds as long as they stay fun. Most of my work is influenced by old school Jungle and mid 90's hip-hop (the beatz were so much cooler back then).
Much Respect to ARS Records in NYC, and Winternettt Kru in D.C. http://www.winternett.com/home.html

Why this name?
Half made it up. Capsicum is the active ingredient in Cayan peppers, but I changed it to Capsacium (Kap-Say-See-Um) cause, I uhhh... wanted to. Nicer ring to it. Hot Shit.
Do you play live?
Right now I basically drop tunes with the local goons. Don't play anywhere live and don't intend to anytime soon. Special Moments- hmmm.. I have alot of fun recording with other artist, MC's, Vocalist, Live Instuments Ect. I'd say those are the special moments.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
While I'm sure the whole file sharing thing is doing damage to CD sales, it was bound to happen once CD's became $20's a pop, well no sh*** people don't wanna pay that.
On the bright side it gives individual artist an excellent tool in getting heard, networking, and getting feedback.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Only if they didn't suck. I don't ever expect to get rich off Drum and Bass records so I wouldn't give a major label any room to jerk me around. What I make is very important to me, I worked my ass off on it. And I'm generally against commercialism it has a real way of souring a good thing.
Band History:
My history, I started making beats a while back and I'm still doing it. There history.

Equipment used:
The backbone is mos'def Reason 2.5, I also use Recycle 2.1, Pro-tracks, Cakewalk, Digitech VX 400 vocal effects processor, RoKit 5 studio monitors and my handy dandy SOny Vaio 420 to run all that stuff.
Anything else...?
Mainstream Hip-Hop's in a sh*** state of affairs these days, wouldn't you agree? It says something about our taste as a society when the real cool stuff can't be marketed cause it doesn't sound retarded enough. Dig around, theres cool artist out there, just not on the top 40, buncha'herbz.
