About Me

I llegal Taktikz
Background Born with House in my soul, Jungle in my heart and Hip Hop on my mind, I fuse the two styles of Hip-Hop / Drum n Bass with an overlay of scratches and original tracks making my music / mixes innovative.
Mainly working with those 2 styles, I make various types of music such as House, Hard House, Trance, Trip hop, and a variety of others that they tell us not to listen to...hence Illegal.
The only way we can expand our minds in the music industry is by experimenting with other genres. Why isolate yourself to just one method?
Im on the side of Good, but fight with Evil Taktikz
The Nitty Gritty Production Been bustin beats since 97, fuckin around back in highschool with just a drum set and a bass guitar makin little jammy jam sessins with the one they call Dirty. After that I've slowly evolved, fuckin with prgrams such as FL, Reason, Cubase and then moving on to the harder shit like DJing and using Rolands and MPC's . Now I just use whatever I can get my filthy hands on to make my beats. Even if that means using a microphone to record my own vocals making a snare, kick drum, whatever it may be or just cutting the fuck up out of records to get what I want.
"Cause as long as I'm alive i'ma live ILLEGAL
And once I get on i'ma put on, on my people"
