Kat Junkie is just a name under which i release various hard dance tunes ranging from trance (primarily hard trance) through to freeform, hardcore and industrial/noise.
ive been producing since october 2003 almost exclusively with software VSTi's and fl studio 4.1.
it aint that interesting. just alot of late nights, many cups of tea, a skip full of ciggerettes, alot of dance anthems for inspiration and a number of great nights out, boat parties, house parties and the assistance, feedback from and the company of some really cool people that regularly hit the southampton hard dance circuit.
not at the moment. i currently do not have the rig to play my songs live.
the artists who had the most direct and tangible effect on the sound of kat junkie are - tiesto, M.I.K.E (aka push), lab4, q-tex, impact, scott brown (and various collaborations), soundscape, stargazer (and various collaborations).
