Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
:: Short Story I have a real passion for music and a wide appreciation of the ever expanding genres, from hard dance, through punk & indie to ambient & classical. But my true love is dance music... My love affair with this scene really began to take off back in 2000 when I began frequenting top nightclubs including Peach @ Camden Palace & Slinky @ The Bournemouth Opera House. The people and the music combined to create an atmosphere and sense of belonging I had not known before. By early 2002 I had started to play around with mixing techniques and experimented with the different ways 2 or more tracks could be played together. By 2003 I had moved on to the next stage, no longer content with mixing other artist's work I wanted to create something that was mine and entered the somewhat daunting world of music production. I had some experience with sound production, gained through an HND Multimedia course, including time spent in professional studios, but still it became clear there was a lot to learn. Of course I am still learning but also loving it just as much as the day I started. The scene is a huge part of my life and it is a great feeling to be able to put something back. I currently use four different artist names as follows; 'SV Digital' for Trance, 'Outta Limitz' for Hard House, 'Sytek' for Hardcore and 'Ultravoakes' for Progressive House, Breakbeat & Experimental Electronica.
