I am so bad at keeping in touch with people. Sorry

About Me

Here's the short version:

1992 - discovered MOD music on the family's Amiga 500 and then started tinkering with ProTracker.

1994 - heard delta 9 on the radio and loved it. my first taste of gabber to go along with all my experiences with uk hardcore.


1995 - purchased fist01 and discovered the sort of hardcore the amiga was capable of.
1997 - released first record - "testicular terrorism" (UHF3) on rage records sublabel, UHF records.
1998 - released first record on my own label hardline rekordingz "Straight Outta Perth" (HARDLINE1) .
mid 2003 - went on world tour and put faces to names of people I had been speaking to online for years as well as dig in record stores and flea markets all over the world.
late 2003 - gave hardline rekordingz and hardline yellow label to my mate paul blackout to run.
2004 - after coming home after a gig in the US, take a leave of absence from the scene... similarly this was around the same time [email protected] shat itself heavily and i lost years' worth of contacts.
2006 - first AI appearance on vinyl for a while - einstein comes out on "This is not Hardcore Vol 1" , the first release on subvert, a label run by my mate steve riot. back in the game baby. like anyone cared.
2007 - debut release on dollarbinmusic coming soon as well as an EP on subvert records tentatively titled "bring back 1998".
2009 - turn 30 and sigh.
