The Cybertron Sound. Just what is that, one may ask? Ask the one who coined the term, and he'll tell you, it's a state of mind, a time and place that can't be recreated, a time to which people wish they could relive. When you hear it, you just know you're back in those times.
The collection of tracks you'll find here are bits and pieces of the The Cybertron Sound's greatest fan's take on the original creations,
for personal projects.
Just who is the man? No one knows; he goes by a ton of aliases. For the sake of simplicity, just call him Dr. Claw. Hardly anyone knows where he's really from, however it's safe to say he's a "Cybertron" native. Whatever the case, he's a man who seems to have a whole lot of time on his hands, enough to bring The Cybertron Sound to your home.Band/artist history
I started making pause tapes... had to be about 10 years ago. '92-'94, that's all I did, find a good place to loop and make "beats" off there.
From there, I discovered sound editors, and began putting loops atop loops. I still have some old "beats" from that era ('96-'98) lying around, maybe I'll release them to the people.
Then came the real beats, done somewhat as a joke; one can tell that most of my beats are parodies of existing tracks, and they have that "Premier" sound to them. However, I'll tell you this -- you may have heard the sound before, but not like how they do it on Cybertron.
As far as lyrics go, I'm not an accomplished emcee, but I do write to most of my beats. Come to think of it, that's what gets me making beats in the first place: writing rhymes. Been doing that for a few years, but only really leaked it to the public over the past 5 or so years.
As far as my individual "projects" go, let me break it down like this:
The "Sub-Z" era was around '96-'98; basically, the first stuff I really did was around this time.
The "Legion of Heroes" project started in '98. This is basically a 99.9% parody of Group Home, based on , an underground fighting game made by Capcom. Batsu, the game's protagonist, is , who, if I could record his voice, would be a dead-on rip-off of Li'l Dap. Finally, their silent DJ/producer, , actually Strider Hiryu (of Marvel vs Capcom fame), is 100% DJ Premier's role; however, he is meant to be like Terminator X was years ago with Public Enemy (silent to the media, etc). This was basically done as a total inside joke (to those who know)...so when you read the rhymes and hear the beats of the Legion, or B.I., bear in mind that all those are done completely, and blatantly in character.
After finding that I'd pretty much exhausted that shtick, I decided to have B.I. go on a solo project, "When Hot Blood Runs Cold" in 2000. This was going to go through his life to a certain point, beginning when B.I.'s mother got kidnapped. He discusses the search for his mother, the fights he's gotten into along the way, and matters of the heart -- all kinds of subjects pertaining to his life are discussed. And as with the Legion project, all in character.
After that, who knows what I'm going to do past here...Your musical influences
Some of the first music that hit my ear were the true architects of the Cybertron Sound: Bob James (aka "The Volvo Composer"), Chick Corea, Stevie Wonder (see a pattern here?), Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, lots of that "Westcoast" AOR-type stuff. They provide the history of the Cybertron Sound. If they used Minimoog for a bassline, chances are it's an artist who made the Cybertron Sound.
On the hiphop side, it's all the stuff I used to listen to: Public Enemy, BDP, Native Tongues, NWA, Ice Cube (AmeriKKKa's Most to The Predator), Lench Mob (their first album was dope!), Rakim, 3rd Bass, Run DMC, DJ Quik, Gang Starr, Main Source (rather Large Professor), Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Common, the list goes on, and on... I was attracted to hip-hop by both the lyrics and production. For some strange reason, I started making pause-tapes, trying to recreate the magic at home. That spurred off into (mediocre) beat making. If you take a listen, first thing you'll think is "DJ Premier". Then the second thing would be "What the hell? He's sampling ?!" I'm a fan, and that's probably how I'll stay... to put it honestly, I think I suck, but I'll leave the truth of that statement up to the listener.What equipment do you use?
Nothing elaborate. I got a lot of music, whether it be on wax, CD, tape, or MP3. I mess around with it... you'd be surprised how it actually is in The Lab.Anything else?
Jeff Porcaro (best EFFIN' session drummer who ever lived), Jam Master Jay, B.I.G., Bobby LaKind, Terry Kath, Jimi Hendrix, 2Pac, MC Trouble, Subroc, Headquarterz, Big Pun, Scott La Rock, Marvin Gaye, Grover Washington Jr., everyone who's died while making the music I love, regardless of genre, rest in peace. You all left your respective marks.Contact
