About Me

Bio:
Early June, 1975, Rob J was spawned in the burbs of Detroit. His musical appetite was fed an eclectic mix of early electronic, disco and psychedelia.
With a bright mind and an interest in the chemical processes of everyday life, Rob went on to college gaining a Bachelors of Science in Biology from Loyola University Chicago. Soon after, he landed a biotech position at a major pharmaceutical company.
With the accessibility of music production, and heavily influenced by the sounds of his work environment, Rob decided to take a stab music production.
Pete chose the moniker of API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) and started composing ambient soundscapes using samples from pharmaceutical manufacturing. His dual Gemini nature was not content, though, as he produced erotic downtempo and house music under 13th Halo.
After 3 years of production, Rob has adopted the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) name for all future productions and is establishing himself as an elite producer of Minimal House and Techno.

Sounds Like: Entertaining, excellent work. Reminiscent of Luke Vibert, a kind of Ninjatune vibe. There is a bright, glistening feel held down in the outdoor basketball court of your lockgroove beats... and it's not Earth-based. I'm sure Coldcut or De la Soul would be proud of your eroticism-infused hip chunk funk. Overall it's nice to have access to some glow-in-the-dark beats on MySpace.

The Bio-Industrial Ambient puts you in a Silent Hill game. Creepy
