Quirky(Oz)
Quirky is a name I thought I'd use to record some tunes under.
Band/artist history
Started producing in December 2005 - just giving it a tilt, like. Natural progression from DJ'ing.
It's mid-2007 now and I've still got a lot to learn!
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Not any more. Was a resident club DJ and did some guest spots at dance parties and raves when it was all kicking off during the late 80's/early 90's. Could be tempted into DJ'ing again.
Your musical influences
I'm completely dependent on upfront, underground house and techno! I like it a bit twisted/acidey, deep, dirty and druggy. 4/4 is my favourite beat, travelling around the 128-132 bpm mark, with some kind of musical element - not just banging beats and noises.
I rarely like anything in pop charts - I find it all too cheesy.
Influences?
80's synth pop - all those one-hit wonder, new-romantic era songs!
Jean-Michele Jarre
New Order
Orbital
Leftfield
The 'Guerilla Records' label / William Orbit
John Digweed (DJ)
What equipment do you use?
Cakewalk Kinetic, VST's, Alesis M1 Active Mk2 monitors, Sennheiser phones, Behringer mixer.
Not much but it'll do - for now.
Anything else?
House music all night long!

I came by looking for a recent track... Looks like you havn't been making much music lately.
Email me when your next track's done and I will check it out if you want.

By the way, did you ever get Project 5?
Came back for another whirl on the Upbeat twirl.
Quirky,
Just to let you know I have eight new tracks up on my page guaranteed to make you smile for a while....so what have you been up to??? What have you been working on lately??? I hope to hear from you.

Hi mate. Can't remember the last time i enjoyed a really minimal track like this but i love this one!
Gave you 5 stars because this is a sound i don't normally appreciate so nice work.
To answer your question, i've tried to make most types of music, even orchestral, but no, i never tried tech house. Might give it a go one day.
