Train of Thought
My name is Matt, and I am a 23 year old film student at the University of Kansas. I live in an apartment, and I love making beats, remixing songs, and blending music together with my turntables and CDJs (beatmatching)SL. I got my first pair of tables and mixer when I was 16. I'm quite experienced and I am open to nearly all genres of music.
Why this name?
The name Driscol is actually from one of my old time favorite movies, The Fugitive. I thought Driscol stuck out as a golden name.
Do you play live?
I occasionally play at bars and clubs and parties. I love it. Special moments, yes. Whenever anyone approaches me to tell me how good of a job I'm doing or asks what song I am playing because they love it so much. Favorite moments though are when girls like making out with me from behind the decks ;*
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It dominates the world, and I love it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, especially after I'm done with damn school.
Your influences?
Where to begin? First, if you know me, everyone knows Nine Inch Nails is my favorite, even though I am mostly into electronic, ambient, breakbeat, progressive, house, drum and bass, underground hip hop, you name it. Sasha and John Digweed are my main influences when it comes to world famous DJs. Some other artists I like:
Alias, Aphex Twin, DJ Shadow, Prefuse 73, Infected Mushroom, The Orb, Orbital, BT, Akira Yamaoka, Chris Fortier, Jimmy Van M, Hernan Cattaneo, Mark Farina, Solar Fields, James Zabiela, Luke Chable, Phil K, Thom Yorke, Shpongle, Younger Brother, Ott, Godspeed You Black Emperor! A Silver Mt. Zion & Tra-La-La Band, Stars of the Lid, Jon Hopkins, Ulrich Schnauss, Casino Versus Japan, Boards of Canada, Freescha, Brian Eno, Biosphere, Fennesz, Four Tet, Underworld, Future Sound of London, Pendulum, Concord Dawn, Dieselboy, Enigma, Paul van Dyk, Fatboy Slim
