I've been working on various electronica projects for about 3-4 years now. I'm a solo producer with a modest home studio, and love Softsynths. I've done a couple soundtrack projects, nothing serious, and have a couple of VERY small limited-edition (aka 50 copies or less) releases containing some earlier work of mine.
Most of my stuff is downtempo, very hiphop influenced but I love the sound of raw synths so I'm trying to mix it all together.

Why this name?
Because I'm uncreative :) Actually, I find my name is enough - no need for a slogan I don't really believe it.
Do you play live?
Unfortunately not, but thats coming soon. I'm working on a live electronica set including me on synths, turntables, and guitar, all caught up using some sort of loop machine. That way I can improvise and add layers as I see fit... this way, every show I do will be different.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it a hell of a lot easier for independent artists to get their music out. Signing to a label, is, to me, a thing of the past. It is NOT NECESSARY to be signed and successful.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the offer, but I highly doubt it as a decent offer is extremely hard to come by. I'd like to retain all creative AND business control myself.

Your influences?
I'm HUGELY influenced by Dj-Krush, Tricky, and all the other kinds of darkish downtempo beats. Rockwise I'm a classic rock fan, but my influces are really geared more towards the DJ realm of hiphop. Hi-tek definetly one of my favorite producers as well.
Electronically, I love Electro-House, and would name names but I don't know sh*** about the genre :)
