brijawi is a contraction of my given name.

I used to play live. It's been a long time, but I want to do it again, especially with the newer set-up.

The internet provides independent artists a low-cost channel of promotion and distribution. Along with music technology in general, the internet has lessened the need for musicians to deal with major labels and yet achieve a high level of success.

Probably; depending on the terms of the contract. I don't want anything too constricting. I am very interested in doing remixes, and certainly wouldn't mind a bit of help with promotion, distribution and publishing!

I started getting into electronic gear in 1993, but really began with my own set-up in '95.

I make a variety of music, but lately it's been nu skool beats and jungle/drum'n'bass. I spend alot of time honing the rhythm, striving for a groove that is constantly changing yet sounding uncontrived. I am influenced by the earlier jungle/d'n'b and by old and new hip-hop and electro.

Cabalistic principles have been inspirational and my work could be described as deconstructionist appropriation, but often, it's just groovy!
