Kryptix
i am a solo drum n bass producer/dj from west wales, my music is very techno influenced incorporating skatty drums, pummelling basslines and trippy melodics & atmospherics. generally no nonsense dancefloor smashers
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
i have been making beats on my pc since november 1999, i started off playing around with a cheap midi keyboard making 4/4 music before getting onto a music technology course in 2001, which is when i started learning how to use hardware and more complex music software and starting to dj and now here i am two thousand and effing five (time flies when you're having fun)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
i regularly dj at various clubs and free parties across south west wales and have been involved as a resident in one of the most successful drum n bass/breaks/dub/hiphop nights west of swansea. i would love to start a live act sometime in the future but at the moment i'm just concentrating on sharpening up my studio skills
Your musical influences
my main influences include producers such as Photek, Dom & Roland, Teebee, Paradox, Ed Rush & Optical, renegade hardware stuff, to more 4x4 artists like underworld, sasha & digweed, timo maas and a whole load of people who i cant remember at the moment
What equipment do you use?
i am a bit of a software purist, i have a basic midi keyboard and a copy of reason 2.5, fruityloops, soundforge loads of vst's and effects.
Anything else?
maximum big ups to the carmarthen Fatlace Crew who have inspired me no end over the years
