About Me

** IMPORTANT UPDATE **
My music infested website is back up! With a Shoutcast stream too! PIMPNET Radio! You can request a login for the mp3 and movies folders by leaving me a message here with your requested username and password, or I can make one up for you. Check out the page for details ( <-- click to see )
It includes MY songs (no login required, except for special songs with corporate copyrights, but don't be scared, it's respect to them who I remix their songs for.) , and TONS of other artists on it.
There is also movies (login required, e-mail me and request your id and password, or I can make one for you) for you too!

Be sure to check out my redesigned layout on my personal webpage. If you click anywhere within this body of orange text, you will be taken there. Also, coming soon I will also be adding a media player plugin so you can hear the other music I've made BESIDES the 5 songs that MySpace lets me upload. But for now, if you go to my page, there is a special link sat aside so people can go straight to my collection of home made songs and check them out. I may not be a super rich producer, but I know there are people out there that happen to love my style. If you want to donate money out of generosity, info is available on my page. Please drop me a message and vote via "messaging" on which song is your favorite. Many special thanks to all of my inspirations!!!

-------------------------------------------------
ABOUT ME: I am a one man band, but I do like taking input on suggestions for my music. Although not much has been suggested in the past, I figured myspace would be a perfect spot for feedback.
I started making songs in 1994 at the age of 14. I experimented with FastTracker2 back then, using home made samples for all the instruments at the time. It wasn't a very good sequencer, but it pre-dated Rebirth 338, which is the 2nd sequencer/beat software I started using. I really liked Rebirth, because it allowed me to make beats using "Mods", which were pre-made drum kits. I used that program from 1996 to 1998, then found FruityLoops.
FruityLoops was, and partially still is, my favorite software. I used that from 1998 to present. I learned alot about adding effects, and automation, to my music. But in 2000, I played around with Reason. It was way more difficult than FruityLoops, at least for me at that particular time. I didn't know how to truely make my own synth sounds, and Reason is the kind of program dedicated to that.
At the end of 2006, I obtained another copy of Reason, and figured "I've learned enough to make music with this now, time to grow up". I didn't realize how much I already knew from all those years using FruityLoops. Everything started making sense. I guess what made Reason much easier, however, was the fact that I finally got a MIDI keyboard, and it allowed easier control over the sequencer.
I decided to make music because I was not hearing what I wanted to hear on the radio these days. I love mellow music, personally, but I have a "crunk" side that I pull out sometimes to make a good Rap beat. I will need to post some examples on here, but for now, I want to concentrate on the "Electronic" genre. Weird noises in the background that leave you wondering "what the heck was that", is something I like. I also like putting sounds in songs that you don't notice until you've heard it a few dozen times.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/02/2007
Band Website: myspace.djphatmac.com
Band Members: --= DJ Phat Mac =-= AKA =-= Robert Gillim =--
Influences: Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin/AFX/Blue Clax), Luke Vibert (aka Wagon Christ/Plug), LTJ Bukem, Squarepusher, Outkast, Al Green, Project Pat's "Lyrical style" (and DJ Paul/Juicy J for their kick ass gangsta beats), Lil Jon, D4L, Lil Boosie and Webbie, Trick Daddy Dolla, Lil Wyte. I love anything that has a good producer with a beat that will make you bob your head, tap your foot, act a fool, pretend to be playing drums, or mess with your mind with obscure beats or with a unique style that just catches your ear, brain, or body reflexes. Stuff that makes you dance, even if you dance like a retard. Stuff that "takes control of you, your body, mind, and senses". Also things that relax you, or encourage you to calm down, or even fall asleep, because it's so mellow.
Sounds Like: Chilled out, lounge, DnB, and Hip Hop music. A bit snappy, and upbeat sometimes. Sounds like nothing I can think of.
Record Label: PIMPNET Entertainment Group (My own private label)
Type of Label: Indie
