Sanity is a madness put to good use

About Me

I was born and raised in winnipeg, bouncin between 9-5's all my life. Got a steady job now, which leaves me plenty of time to make music. The lab consists of a Compaq (completely flashed) laptop.
This station runs Propellars Reason, MAGIX Audio cleaning lab, and music editor. Cool Edit pro of course. A new born Edirol UA-4FX recording station, attached to that is the Technics 1200SL MK2 turntable for sampling, powering the flow is a Sony home receiver, and two 350 watt Sony speaks. For the drums, I got the M-Audio Trigger Finger, melts beautiful with Reason. I also have a 61 key midi keyboard.
One of my biggest influences to start me off, was Kinetik. Who showed me how to start making beats, much props to him for that. Then onto my next influence, was Dj Kno of Cunninglynguists, the soulful way he can take a song, chop it immensly, layer it and have some thing completely different when its done, just amazes me, and hopefuly one day, ill be able to work beside him, or just as well, meet him once..
If any one wants to hit me up, i manage to jump on msn every now then, can hit me up by email at [email protected]
