Your musical influences
There are several artists that influence my work, and even now, my sound evolves with each new and interesting musician I come across.
But here are a few worth noting at present.
Lange, Above and Beyond, Signum, Cosmic Gate, Apoptygma Berzerk, Ferry Corsten, Lab 4, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Stoneface and Terminal, Ronski SpeedWhat equipment do you use?
A PC with Sony Acid pro 7, Soundforge and a number of VST plugins and instrumentsAnything else?
Because I enjoy almost all types of electronic music - I'll always try reworking my sound, getting my hands on different genres and styles. As they say, variety is the spice of life!natmoons station

all the time i make new tracks, i do mix cds to hand out to people when i'm drunk (not many, usually like 2 a week). the one i just burnt has got more collaborations than they usually do, so i thought i'd upload them for the relevant people so they can do what they want with them. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LMG69PPJ do what you want with it. even just ignore it. the collaboration track of yours on it is the deux ex machina remix i did. i haven't bothered doing a tracklist as the titles are in the file names.
