Biography
Born in Brussels (Belgium), Faskil started to show interest in
music by messing around with Trackers on PC. Those basic composition
softwares allowed him to make his first steps in sound crafting.
In 1995, he teams up with fellow Radio Campus partner in crime El
Borbah to form the band Bump & Grind. They release their first
album, deCreate , on newborn belgian label Exit Records. The second
album, Init Sequence , is released in 1998 on another Brussels based
label, Sub Rosa. A blend of massive cinematic beats and weird
click'n'cut, it also features remixes from Scanner and Third Eye
Foundation .
Bump & Grind turns to BNG in 2000 for the release of their third
installment : Abstract Theme Variations , featuring some
Autechre-inspired electronica as well as heavy stomping and distorted
beats. ATV2 follows in 2002, as a sequel, with brand new tracks and
remixes from Speedy J , Gez Varley (aka G-Man, half of LFO), Mick Harris
and Elixir .
After remixing The Box from Orbital for the compilation The Fire This Time , the BNG project was put on hold as both founding members got busy with their solo projects. Faskil came back to production in 2005 and started releasing new remixes in 2006 for Ascension and Composure Records . Gaining major support from the progressive scene, Faskil is now working on new remixes and brand new material for a 2007 release.
Faskil is also hosting a monthly 2 hour show on ETN.fm and launched the Connected parties in Paris, wth fellow DJs Boombatcha & Birdy .
