Figueroa started as a one-man-one-laptop project and it still is. Getting bored all the time convinced me to make some music but since i cant play guitar for shit or any other instruments, i did what everybody does when they dont have any instrumental knowledge: i make it on my toshiba! I started to make some drum'n bass, didnt work out, elektro, didnt work out at all, reggae, dont even ask, and dub.. the dub worked out pretty fine but after a while i thought to myself i didnt even liked that music. However, in jan. 2008 i met this guy Juke -of was it Jake, didnt remember- and he gave me a link to the myspace of Boards of Canada and waarempel, i figured out he made the same music as i did! I learnt from my mistakes and since i discovered Burial -the future of more easy-listening dub with some garage and ambient influences- i've found my own sound (for the moment). Now i just have to grow my moustache and i'm ready to rock your headphones!
-some people just talk mostly about things they hate like it matters, like they are fighting through a crowd that isn't there. i liked the world before it was so easy for people to find out stuff and get at it. i like it when people are genuine, they like tunes, they want a dance.. i don't get it when people are ploughing in with negative claimage to something. Sometimes you just want music to stay where it is from. I love drum&bass jungle hardcore, garage, dubstep and always will till i die and i don't want the music i love to be a global samplepack music.. I like Underground tunes that are true and mongrel and you see people trying to break that down, alter its nature. Underground music should have its back turned, it needs to be gone, untrackable, unreadable, just a distant light.-
