Quirky is a name I thought I'd use to record some tunes under.
Why this name?
I have my own quirks. Quite fitting really.
Do you play live?
Not any more. Was a resident club DJ and did some guest spots at dance parties and raves when it was all kicking off during the late 80's/early 90's. Could be tempted into DJ'ing again.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
No more crate digging, just sitting behind a screen browsing - at least you can shop 24/7 for killer tunes!
Internet allows music to be shared at a lot more easily. Is it a good thing? Not sure about that, yet.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If a label thought my tunes would do well, yeah sure!
Band History:
Started producing in December 2005 - just giving it a tilt, like. Natural progression from DJ'ing.
It's mid-2007 now and I've still got a lot to learn!

Your influences?
I'm completely dependent on upfront, underground house and techno! I like it a bit twisted/acidey, deep, dirty and druggy. 4/4 is my favourite beat, travelling around the 128-132 bpm mark, with some kind of musical element - not just banging beats and noises.
I rarely like anything in pop charts - I find it all too cheesy.
Influences?
80's synth pop - all those one-hit wonder, new-romantic era songs!
Jean-Michele Jarre
New Order
Orbital
Leftfield
The 'Guerilla Records' label / William Orbit
John Digweed (DJ)
