Most of the music on here is played, recorded, mixed, mastered, and produced by me, Derek Nelson, in my home studio.
Why this name?
My initals sound good in front of 'Studios'. It's really not what I'd like to call it, but the music speaks for itself I think.
Do you play live?
Yes. I play the drums with my band Tap City. Check us out.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Wow. I could go on and on.
I think, most importantly, it weeds out the good music from the shitty music because you have so much to compare to.
