Band Members: All instruments, compositions, production, mix and mastering by ekTek (Nikki B.)
except 'Latitude and Longitude' feat. Shilo on guitar and Groovebox
Influences: Wow...there's so much! My earliest love of Prog Rock (ELP, Yes, early Genesis), lots of 70's pop and disco (the first bass-line I ever learned was Billie Jean...ok, thats 80's, but its got that vibe!) and later on many disco house producers (King Brit). Some 80's (although I wouldn't like to admit it...), mainly alternative, metal and trash, but also plenty of A-list pop-radio (gotta love 'Pump-up the Valume' and Black Box...) even classical music got in the mix, being part of a youth-orchestra and playing wind-inst. for 7 years. In recent years Dub, Reggae (Jimi Cliff, Fat Fredie's Drop, Mad Prof.), Hip-Hop (Tribe, The Herbalizer, Life Savas) Salsa/Afro-Cuban-beat and Jazz (as part of my work as a live sound engineer I've been exposed to many talented local and national artists, after which I began listening to those genres on the radio, as well as recorded materials of many different artists) and after coming down from a long period of raving-fever in both SA and UK, I'm now chilling with lots of down-tempo-elctronica producers (list is too long...).
Sounds Like: A handful of dub, carefully cooked in tech-oil, spiced with tasty-hot samples, cooled to perfection in the chill box over night, to create crispy yet fine flavas
Type of Label: Major
