I am the ONE known as JKurve, aka Joe Kurve, the ONE and ONLY. I have been producing music in some from or another for about 7 years or so at the time of this writing, give or take some depending on when you woke up and realized that me and my shizz are NO fOcking joke.

I moved around.  I lost gear, I found gear, I moved again.  And again.  More gear, new car, moved again.  I had my music trampled, my spirit tainted, my fire quenched, and my soul stolen.  But now that the time of the beast has waned - I am back, and better than ever.

Band/artist history

I've been producing for years, been involved with music even longer. Cut me and I'll bleed you a tune.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I've played live for house parties...never an official venue, tho.

Your musical influences

Shpongle, Astral Projection, Psilly-X, DJ Yahel, Infected Mushroom, ph4n, The Crystal Method, Rabbit in the Moon, Roni Size, Fatboy Slim, Uberzone, Tool, Prodigy, NiN, Suicide Commando, Soman, any GOOD music, regardless of genre, etc. & etc.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Every unsigned artist that is aggressively tackling the 'mainstream' sound with that of his own. These are the artists that re-invent that to which we have grown accustomed with the latest, greatest, best new noise. * cough * Lotuz * hack * NicSac * cough *

"Odd amalgamation of industrial, techno, and hip-hop covered in itchy acid effects. Catchy melodies mold to stiffened rhythms." - Listen.com

"Wow...nice track. And very different to most of the productions we hear on this forum, a refreshing change. Yeah that Piano is awesome and the build of synths towards the end really gets you going again for an excellent climax. Wasn't too sure about this when it started but by the end...woah...i love it. Thank You." - Posted by 'RaverBabySy' in the TranceAddict.com forums

"Cool super funky digital underground!
Excellent mood! Turned this baby up real loud, tweaked the sub woofers and started moving along to the percussion.. hehe cool effort. Program sequence sounds truly pro.. the programmer knows his sounds and has a gift in being able to put together some great sounds backed with a cool beat. Nice dynamic break downs. Syth sounds really compliment the overall mix. Love your work, keep it up." - Review by 'acelouis' on Garageband.com
