Why this name?
At the time, I worked at a toy store. One of my jobs was to stock the small rubber animal tubs which consisted of the standard animal fare, as well as an assortment of sea creatures, of which on this particular day, came with none other than the mythical Hydra. The 'plates' part was just a random word attachment.
Do you play live?
There were several POH shows between 1998 and 1999 but I had discovered DJing and around the same time and by 2000 I found myself playing in a Hardcore band as well so the band and DJing would end up taking the majority of my 'live' time. But there has always been the occasional show.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We shall see. Personally, I try to only buy vinyl but now I listen to mp3s at work and I've met some interesting people on the internet.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Band History:
Started in 1998 while I was doing a noise project with my brother. I used an RY30 drum machine and some primitive LFOs and effects for my noise but at the time I had really gotten into Aphex Twin and Orbital so I started messing around with midi and beats and samples. I only had these crap keyboards that had like three good sounds max, so all the early stuff is really boring and experimental. Never the less I'll probably be posting some old cassette tracks here from time to time.
