About Me

From the age of 7, Vince Watson was heading towards his ambition of making Electronic Music.

Thru Early Pioneers like Jean Michel Jarre and Herbie Hancock to Genres like Hiphop and House, there was always a passion and a direction towards Detroit Techno and the Scene around it.

Graduating in 1993 in Music Technology gave Vince the platform to develop his sound and it wasn't long until the demo's were sent out. Dave Angel's Rotation label was the first to receive one, and in accepting gave Vince his first contract and release.

A residency in Glasgow's Arena nightclub was the start of his experience on the scene and played alongside Jeff Mills, Luke Slater, Kenny Larkin and Mixx Djax to name but a few.

With his love of both House and Techno, it was always a challenge to marry the 2 styles, but Alola Records gave him the chance to do so and in 1999 Vince released his first album 'Biologique'. The modern classic 'Mystical Rhythm' was the standout track, and even to this day is being played and licensed by the best artists in the business including Francois Kevorkian and Joe Claussell.

His second album on Alola 'Moments in Time' was also released on Legendary New York House Label Ibadan.

Vince set up his own label Bio Music in 2000 and has featured Artists such as Steve Rachmad, Joris Voorn, Deetron and Ben Sims. The label has been licensed to compilations from Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, Brandon Block, Danny Howells amongst others…

Recently Vince has been remixing artists such as Turner, The Black Dog, Electric Rescue and Taho. 2007 will see a remix for Laurent Garnier.

Currently Vince is recording for labels such as Planet e, Fcom, Plastic City, Delsin, Submerge and his own Bio Music label.

A long awaited album for Fcom is finally being produced in 2007 and Vince will also complete his 2nd single for Planet e.

A remix on new Kompakt label Orphanear is in the works, and a debut release for Underground Resistance label Submerge will also be coming soon....

Watch out……

My Interests

music that makes you think out the box...people who know how to think out of themselves and beyond the barrier in front of them they cannot see.

I'd like to meet:

Tadao Kikumoto, the young genius Roland employee that thought 303's and 606's could make rock music. He now owns and is Chairman of Roland Corp....Sir David Attenborough, who needs no introduction and Michio Kaku, one of the worlds greatest physicist minds and the co-creator of string theory.

Music:

high quality music, regardless of genre. i dont regard genres as having any meaning other than to stop people listening to other types of music.Currently listening to : Shostkovitch, Aybee, Glenn Underground, Jenifa Mayanja, Sven Weissman, Drumlesson, Yasuko Agawa, B12

Television:

Television is a mass population control mechanism to keep the average person within themselves and prevent outwardly thoughts or intuitions freeing you to do anything other than work and sleep and feed the system. You guessed it...i dont watch television!

Books:

Currently : In Search of Superstrings:Symmetry, Membranes and the Theory of Everything.

Heroes:

The people that buy my music and listen to it properly. Also the huge number of people who have contacted me with true emotions about what my music has done for them and how it made them feel. My true close friends are also my heroes. You know who you are....
