Well, not all of them are clearly audible. But be it their sound, attitude, studio techniques or song writing, they've all had a major influence on me and my music.
Sounds Like: The bio that came with my BASS album reads: "From deep dub to twanging space guitars and from funkin' grooves to electro jams, anything goes in the world of Weytkin. In his Amsterdam studio he creates his own style of dub and electro. The combination of analogue and digital electronics with electric and acoustic instruments in fx ridden yet structured tracks make for a surprising and varied sound. Melody, rhythm and sound are equally important. The result is both accessible and extreme." I think that's a pretty good descprition of what I do.
