About Me


Myspace Layouts

I'm from Oslo, Norway, born 1974. Been a Hip Hop'er since 1987.

Have lost most of my faith in Hip Hop since it's mostly turned to shite, much thanks to P Diddy, 50 Cent and so much uninspired and cheap poprap crap being churned out from the US nowadays. I have been producing since the late 1980's (on the Amiga), and when I first heard Gunshot and Killa Instinct, I was relieved to know that I wasn't the only one to prefer the Hard Core sound.
Was involved in a project named "Lament Configuration", and played several concerts around Norway - often in collaboration with Conspiracy 2 Murda and Warlocks of Mayhem. This ended after internal disputes. Then started a new project called "Kindred", sadly also ended. Haven't released anything ever, only completed a few demos.


Have gone through looong periods of musical depression - where nothing at all has been produced or written. Still listening to old Britcore, couldn't give a toss about most new Hip Hop. Feel inspired by discovering on MySpace that old heads are still active, and hope to get the productions going again. My music is a cross-mix of old school Britcore, classical music and several more or less obscure inspirations.I currently produce on Propellerheads Reason on my outdated iMac.

The "Retro Lament Kindred Amiga Mix" track

I copy-pasted together some snippets from a couple of Lament Configuration instrumental tracks produced on the Amiga, starting with the stage intro theme.The sound is shit, but there you go.These trac...
