Influences:From the age of about 12 , I was heavily influenced by Depeche Mode and was bowled over by the way their tracks were constructed , then , when I was about 17 , the whole acid house phenomenon kicked off in a big way , and I found myself listening to a lot of the techno that came outta Detroit -- Juan Atkins and Derrick May being huge influences on my sound for a long time. Lately , my sound has been getting progressively more dirty and glitchy as the kind of things influencing me now , besides the technology itself , are people like Vesna ( n5MD ) , Plone , Enduser , Merck , MachineDrum and experimental music from artists i believe are pushing boundaries , whilst still retaining groove , melody , and longevity I take my major influences from sound itself , and any sound is fair game as long as its copyright and royalty free.
Sounds Like: I've been told my music sounds like " bytes " by Black dog , and also Plaid / Balil. In places it sounds like Boards of Canada.There are definitely Detroit Techno influences in my stuff , as artists like Derrick May and Juan Atkins , and Then Luke Slater and Dan Curtin have all played a part in my sound evolving to become what it is now.Epidemix.com - The MySpace & Virb Music Directory
