..Nate Raubenheimer started out his music career at the tender age of seven when he received his first electronic keyboard. He went on to discover jazz and classical music before becoming obsessed with synthesizers, computers and electronic music. His musical explorations have taken him through many different styles of music including breaks, house and electro. After finishing school, he went on to study sound engineering before finding his niche in the psytrance scene. He was first introduced to the music by Regan and Gareth Tacon, currently co-owners of Nano Records. Before ever attending a party he wrote his first single, "superhighway samurai" which was released on Mechanism, a compilation by Sweden's Spiral Trax Label Group. His sound was instantly recognizable as his signature style, a blend of full on grooves, progressive structures, and epic "morning" melodies. This sound was refined over the next year, with his signing to Nano Records and the subsequent release of numerous tracks such as "Synergism" and "Ultraphunktional". The release of "New Directions" on Nano Record's Dilations compilation was a turning point for Nate. This can still be regarded as his most celebrated track to date, and received much acclaim worldwide.The debut album, Refractions, followed closely afterwards, featuring dance floor success's such as "Melody Machine", ":Avalon", and a remix of the afore mentioned "New Directions". With the success of the album, Nate's career as a live performer and dj, took off at great speed. After numerous parties in South Africa, he first headed off to England for the acclaimed Glastonbury Music Festival. This festival plays host to hundreds of acts and draws crowds in excess of 150 000 people every year. Gigs in Japan followed, as well as extensive tours in Europe, including France, Spain, Holland, Germany, Portugal, Denmark and others. To date he has played on every major continent, and received much praise for his energetic and emotional live shows.Nate has also worked on other projects including his dj compilation, "Natural Selection" on Nano Records, as well as Ghost, a side project focusing on breaks and ambient, as well as forming half of the now defunct Silver Surfers. His releases can be seen on many labels including Mind Control, Phonokol, Alchemy, Exposure, Compakt, Proton, Light Music Japan, Turbo Trance and others. Further collaborations include work with Tristan, Hydrophonic, Pogo, and Rinkadink, as well as remixes for Silicon Sounds, Sesto Sento and D-Nox and Beckers, amongst many others._____________________________________________________ ______________________ ____________________________________________________________ _______________ ____________________________________________________________ _______________ ____________________________________________________________ _______________ ____________________________________________________________ _______________My apologies if the following video offends anyone, but I felt compelled to post it here in the hope that some of you visiting this myspace page might be affected by this.
