History
DJ MULDER is so called because of his slight resemblance to David Duchovny, who plays the character Mulder in The X Files. In 1997, he released his first drum and bass record with Urban Takeover, 'Don't Believe / Stick-up Kid'. The tracks had some sucess on the dancefloors and were played by DJ's such as Hype, Nicky Blackmarket and Darren Jay, along with Mickey Finn and Aphrodite of course. His style has always been on the more 'Jump-up' dancefloor side of dnb, but he's done some tracks that wouldn't really be classed as such. In 1998 he released a record on Bristol's 'Tribe' label called 'Gettin' Blunted', which ended up playing a small part in the film 'Human Traffic'. One of Mulder's favorite musical tasks is that of remixing tracks by other artists. He has had remixes for Fat Boy Slim and the Freestylers released, with a remix for the Prodigy getting a release on a compilation album for Mixmag. In 2002, he released his first Breaks track with Plastic Raygun records called 'Listen To The Basstone', which was followed by a remix for fellow Bristol producer October on a German label, Dangerous Drums.
In Janurary 2003, Mulder developed a long-term anxiety problem, which is still unresolved. He no longer DJs professionally, and he has also stopped DnB production work. Mulder hopes to make a return to the DnB scene at some point in the future.
Present
Mulder is currently working on a number or 'Hardcore Breaks' / 'Nu-Rave' tracks. Hardcore Breaks is basically a return to the oldskool 1991-93 style of production, with new production techniques and sounds used to produce a 'new' sound. It was originally known as 'New Oldskool', but the name 'Hardcore Breaks' has been chosen to represent the music for the time being. Nu-Urban distribution have chosen to tag it as 'Nu-Rave', as it sells better under that name, and it's already a buzz word thanks to the NME using it to describe guitar music with a slight rave influence. It's hoped that eventually Nu-Rave will be a term associated with real 'Rave Music', instead of Indie music. Hardcore Breaks should not be confused with 'Bassline' or 'Tearout' Nu-skool breaks, although some of it is very much in the same vein.
