Hi folks my name is Karl & I hail from Dublin in Ireland,Apollo 18 productions is the umbrella really for all the pies i've got my fingers in!!Djing producing remixing,Mashups& mayhem are my thing but i also play guitar & bass. Heres the story so far, Ive pretty much been involved with music since I was in school. Ive played Guitar, bass, keyboards & Sung in various bands with varying degrees of success. Mostly piss taking punk bands though & a few stoner affairs that never made it beyond the rehearsal room but had a damn good time rehearsing. At some stage in all this, my brother & I bought a Fostex 4 track recorder & I was constantly goofing around & experimenting with sounds drum machines & any equipment I could find. In 1996 I completed a sound engineering course, (because I wanted to know more about it rather than wanted a job)& this convinced me to do my own thing in some way, however collecting the equipment to do it was slowing me down. I made a few chilled out tunes on equipment belonging to a friend of mine & was hooked!!. Between 1997 & 2001 I was involved in several local/pirate radio programs on the north side of Dublin, which gave me my first real taste of Djing (well my first time actually touching a technics 1210!!) & gave me a chance to play some of my ever expanding music collection to anyone listening. I was also working in a record shop at the time not to mention the fact that I was constantly digging through crates of cheesy vinyl in charity shops & market stalls all over town & anywhere else I went. Somewhere between 2001 & 2002 I started playing the odd DJ set around town & Ive been playing regularly since. My Dj sets are an eclectic mix of funk, soul, hip hop reggae, rock & psychedelic madness & have evolved over time. (Currently Im enjoying the crop of decent danceable indie stuff doing the rounds as well as some cool electronica & clever remixes). I started making music on my own computer around the same time & have been working away ever since. I currently have several projects in the pipeline including an immanent laptop DJ Stint. Im a big fan of bootlegs & mash-ups, so long as they work!! & I have a few of my own done under the guise of Muttcuts Productions.
