Bio:
Early June, 1975, Pete Moss was spawned in the burbs of Detroit. His musical appetite was fed an eclectic mix of early electronic, disco and psychedelia.
With a bright mind and an interest in the chemical processes of everyday life, Pete went on to college gaining a Bachelors of Science in Biology from Loyola University Chicago. Soon after, he landed a biotech position at a major pharmaceutical company.
With the accessibility of music production, and heavily influenced by the sounds of his work environment, Pete decided to take a stab music production.
Pete chose the moniker of API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) and started composing ambient soundscapes using samples from pharmaceutical manufacturing. His dual Gemini nature was not content, though, as he produced erotic downtempo and house music under 13th Halo.
After 3 years of production, Pete has adopted the API for all future productions and is establishing himself as an elite producer of Minimal House and Techno.
