Ahoy people!
Well now...I've been making music and involved with the electronic music scene in Auckland, New Zealand since the early 90's - which was a damn cool time really, before electronic music fractured into genres so it was all new soil, putting on gigs, being a teenager and freaking out over synthesisers and whatnot. I often get the feeling like everything I'm doing now is just trying to perfect on my influences from that time, which then reminds me of an Aspen track with the super cool title 'This Is Why Only Teenagers Can Really Love Music'...
Started a nice little label called Nurture as I thought a group of us here were making some great music and there was a common and unique sound there. Super happy as Nurture really got out there into the world and got heard - I’m still really proud of being involved with those releases. Always toying with the idea of starting it up again, but it’s a bit of a battlefield out there.
Making the move from an analogue studio to a computer was a hard one, there were several years of woe-is-me artistic flagellation, but, you know, I’m feeling much better now. Honest. Also currently loving making club music, all those years of being a club DJ and all I made was slow deep tunes, and now that I’ve stopped the DJing I’ve gone all club on it. C’est la Vie. And I can’t feel anything but grateful about the fact that people want to release my noodlings – so yeah it’s been great in all manner of ways hooking up with the Germans, what IS in the water over there anyway?
I love playing live - truly - you can tell how much by how much I sweat when I do it. It’s horrific. Actually there’s an equation for that I think. E x T= S or something like that. Still living in New Zealand – I love it here as apart from its laid back lifestyle and amazing nature, there is actually no pop music scene here, which, you know, pretty much rules.
