My name is KB and I'm the alter-ego of Hypenotica. This music that I have created is very much an outlet for me to be creative and to 'de-stress' from my regular day. Honestly, if i could make a living doing this, i would, but i still need to pay the bills somehow right? Well anyways, a little about the background. I'm 24 and ever since I was about 15 was facinated with electronic music.

I had been a music junkie all through my adolescence and saw the rise and fall of a lot of different genres, but after listening to a compilation cd from a local store that including the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Faithless, The Crystal Method, and many others... I was instantly hooked. I always found music to be my outlet in life, as I'm sure many others do/did... but listening to that cd for the first time took me to a new level of musical discovery. That type of genre had never been big where I lived in Buffalo, NY (the second biggest city in NY state) so there wasnt much exposure to it previously. But, I started to dig for the roots to this type of sound, and became a huge fan of Depeche Mode, INXS, the Smiths, and some other pioneers of the syth sounds.

After I began collecting as much electronic music as possible, I began to see and hear it everywhere. From loops inserted in hip-hop, alternative, metal, and everything else that was on through the late 90's, it occured to me the possibilities of electronic music.

DJ Battle: Hypenotica vs. Psycodelic: So this past weekend i participated in a fun battle of songs between electronica producing artists.

I was squared off against Pyscodelic, a very creative dj that has a great ear for the smooth, ambient sounds. Many good responses to the songs that we put up and here is a sampling of the forum in which this took place:

It's a brand new track for me and would like the feedback!

Thanks.



HYPENOTICA - THE GETAWAY:

A very mesmeric rhythm, all eastern percussion and great skill - a pleasant mix!

Once we arrive at the meat of the track we are taken to a whole new level, the nasty keyboard line is a real treat. Although there is a small area between 2.15 and 2.25 that I felt could do with looking at, it's a VERY picky point but with a track this good it's vital to not loose the momentum.

2.40 is a great moment, you know it's coming but it's still terrific....
