About Me

My first official band being The Violent Sheep in 2005, I now have quite a few projects running at once. Since The Violent Sheep disbanded sometime in early 2006, I started DJ Fartbot, which evolved into Satan's Basement, then in 2007 the revival of DJ Fartbot as a whole new project. Later on I started my third project, The Astronaut King. Eventually I realized that I couldn't identify certain songs with any of these, and started releasing music under my own name.
I've tried to keep each project separate, yet I've made a collaboration between the two. DJ Fartbot is an experimental electronic project, and Satan's Basement is experimental metal, The Astronaut King is sort of ambient and psychedelic experimental. I'm trying not to root myself into one genre, which makes it hard for me to fit myself into sub genres. I just experiment a lot, and mostly just try and keep the projects separate because each project is for my different ideas.My projects live off free shit and hand me downs, so anyone willing to give away anything, or willing to give me money for better equipment, please come forward and help me out here. I've released several albums, and if you're interested in any of them, contact me for details.Ian Covelli on SoundClickSatan's Basement on Soundclick DJ Fartbot on Soundclick The Astronaut King on Soundclick The Violent Sheep (Disbanded) on Soundclick
