I started a few years ago with a small demo program on my pc at the same time a friend of mine got hold of a twin cd deck (Denon) and we started "ripping up the (cd)decks". My love for the whole music thing developed and here I am!!
Why this name?
MY innitials seemed to fit icely together. But the name got a bit worn out and these days I go around as Pagoda!
Do you play live?
I did a few times, but in South Africa it is very difficult to make a good living on the decks. I'm an accountant by trade and a musician by heart!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Great to get your music to a much wider public!! It also gives a musician a sense of being a part of something, other than banging away on a set of drums in your garage!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
In a flash! I'm involved with a lot of people who's creative juices is an inspiration par excellence. Wonderfull stuff is in the making or is already done, and once unleashed on the world I, for one, will be waiting, along with all my collaborators!!
Band History:
Like I previously said, I started a few years ago.
My first track ever uploaded on E-Jay was Nova!
It pretty much sucked bigtime, but I was proud of it.
I can still, when I listen to the tracks I produced, from the earliest to the latest, hear the evolution and technical changes in the production of them. The learning curve is starting to plane out now, and a reasonable level of maturity is evident in my music now.

Your influences?
Anything European. My first real idol in my field was DJ Bobo and later on Sash. Milk Inc. used to be a huge fave of mine as well. I'm pretty much of the same stable, trying to produce tracks that is worth dancing to, but doesn't drain you mentally!
Favorite spot?
Cape Town, @ 7 pm on the V&A waterfront overlooking Robin Island with a beer in one hand and a ciggy in the other.
Equipment used:
PC, Acid Pro, ProDJ, Soundengine, Fruity and E-Jay, as well as Goldwave!
Anything else...?
A strong will and as strong a will as mine in the people I work with!
