By popular demand: 2 new songs! That's right, 2, and all you had to do was wait almost 3 months. School break is in full swing so updates should be more regular.

I'm an electronica DJ and making music is just one of my many hobbies (next to Games, drawing and using Multimedia related software). All my songs are created through FL Studio and I have 3 and a half years experience using this great program. When it comes to making music I strive to be different, while my preffered genre is Trance/Techno, it sometimes sounds too familiar or stereotypical (most notable in vocal trance). So that's where my other tastes in music comes in, such as Breaks, Chillout, Psychedelic and some early to mid 90's electronica.
Why this name?
I'm still not 100% sure about it. For now I want to be recognised through my real name, what everyone knows me as, I don't feel the need to create an 'artist' name for myself, at least not yet.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it's a great way for Amateur artists like myself to get into the Music Industry, by easy distripution through sites such as Soundclick.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'd definetely consider a record contract if the oppurtunity arised, can't pass up something like that.
Band History:
I've been making music since I was 10 years old back in the haydays of 'Music 2000' on the Playstation, and alot of time spent on 'MTV Music Generator 2' on PS2. But now I make all my music on FL Studio, nothing compares to it except the real deal.
Your influences?
My favourite artists would have to be:
- Nick Skitz (Just kidding, I'm straight)
- Fatboy Slim (Mostly older stuff)
- Mylo
- DJ Scot Project
- Pendulum
- Prodigy
- Moby
- LCD Soundsytem
- Chemical Brothers
- The Hives
- Queens of the Stonage
There's more but I can't think of them all.
