HEY, HEY, HEY - HAZE ATTACKS, Producer from Philadelphia, Pa.
I starting djing and making beats in 1996. I had a 12second phrase sampler and a turntable and recorded beats live. It was a site to see. Through the years I began to learn more about the process and what equipment to buy.
I bought an ASR back in 98 and began honing my skills while going to college
. I did a couple tracks for an MC out in Detroit and Tone Love of Tuff Crew fame. Then I put music on the back burner until about 2 years ago when people started to hear what my beats.
Worked with DJ Kwestion & Jedi Mind Tricks, Reef The Lost Cauze, Godilla, Ali Armz, King Magnetic, Block McCloud, Brooklyn Academy (Pumpkinhead, Mr Metaphore, Block McCloud), Scanz (Rawkus 50), EDoG, Scheme (Molemen), GabGotcha...
Now I can't make the beats fast enough to deal with the demand.
No, I dont play live but I've been seeing all these videos on youtube of people playing their MPC like a dj and I know I'd kill it. So, I think I'm going to put together a set and take over.
I'm influenced by: DJ Kwestion, Godilla, King Magnetic, Reef The Lost Cauze, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Nottz Raw, Jake One, Jazzy Jeff, Kev Brown, RZA, Marley Marl, Alchemist and the list can go on.... Recently I've been into 70's soul and R&B.
