Influences: I was listening to Jean Michel Jarre's Equinoxe part 4. in the middle of 80's when radio stuffed out some synthesizer music: Vangelis' Blade runner track was my favourite until i heard "Crockett's theme". Some days those were.
I became a fan of hip hop music in the beginning of 90's when Anthrax did track with Public enemy, "Bring the noise" and "911 is a joke", Run Dmc and Cypress Hill were listened. N.W.A's long player was in rotation and at the same time Moby's "Go" was on television. Finnish rap music started those days, "talaskangas rap" to mention. I got my hands on some Ghetto boys tracks, until my friend gave me the 12" vinyl of Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash", that changed the whole story.Altern8 and KLF were the names to listen, Everybody wanted to copy on c-tape my "the Prodigy experience" and i got Future sound of London's "accelerator" which was a showcase.They were allready playing kaaos-parties and Acid house in Finland, which i got a splendid taste with Phuture's "Acid Trax"
The Eye-q release in 1993 the "Behind the eye" was on everybody's ghetto blaster so long i can hardly remember. Trance ruled for years for then.Harthouse records and growing selection of UG-jam became an essential for my blue-dyed head. Until i heard music like Cari Lekebusch and Dave Clarke's "red 2" in 1994. Daft Punk's "da funk" was the tune in '94 and filter house rose up to every corner.R&S records, Disco B, Warp...Dj Jokke played techno mixes frequently on radio and parties started to happen more often.Puu and Lumi records, Sähkö records got international name and NY's underground zine's review.FSOL played ISDN radio broadcasts. Circles split in genres.
'95 I did my first track with Amiga 500 and Pro tracker: Ice cube sampling 250bpm gabba track nobody heard.I even considered to record it on reel tape and bury the tapes deep in the forest until founding :)
Rest of the nineties went the 4/4 , 2/4 until LTJ Bukem came and everybody wanted a taste of atmospheric drum&bass. Deep house touched my ears and i totally forgot old hardcore grind. X-trax, Chain reaction, Combination research, Drumcode, Hybrid, rising movement of dub, i Was collecting vinyls, old and new, hunting those hard-to-find's and my friend and i were listening to Terrence Dixon's vinyl after Aphex Twin's 7" green noname.
