My Interests

Band Members: jus me... and assorted others from time to time.
Influences: blockhead, king tubby, hermitude, pasobionic, pete rock, gangstarr, augustus pablo, urthboy, charles mingus, plutonic lab, afro dizzi act, sublime, de la soul, cecil and the argonauts, jolie holland, nick drake, alice russell, gauche, people under the stairs, broken social scene, the cure, mista savona, massive attack, ani difranco, outkast, mad professor, gorrilaz, dangerdoom, tower of power, dennis brown, red eyes, madvillain... just to name a random few... i am influenced and inspired by all the music i hear and see... all the repetitive sonic patterns we city-dwellers tune out... the harmonies and dissonance therein.
Sounds Like: a bunch of cut up breaks, layered with one shots... gritty chanks, lo-end bass, crispy vinyl samples - and clean self recorded ones... somewhere between dub and hip hop at the moment... probly change soon...
