Quirky(Oz)
Quirky is a name I thought I'd use to record some tunes under.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
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 live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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!
