Beware of the Polar Bear

About Me

I seem to be always travelling, even when i'm still somewhere long enough to be motionless my mind is always wandering. I keep myself on a level by making music, gathering thoughts and sounds from a wide selection of electronic instruments, effects and recordings. Right now i'm working on a groove that has been rolling around in my cd player for the past week. I've let it interact with my environment, as a background to my everyday movement. As i work on it tonight, thoughts come to me from all the ways it has conversed with nature, all be it the nature of the city. Somehow it keeps all moving forward just like i do.a

Influences: Music that shakes me up. Beats that make my mind wander. Psychadelic electronica, from Lawrence, Isolee, Luciano and Villalobos. Music with a lot of depth, dimension and texture. M.A.N.D.Y. Booka Shade and the fresh atmospherics of Jona. Matthew Dear for deadly synthesized mayhem! John Tejada also never fails to inspire me to push further with my sounds and arrangements. Most recently the new artists signed to Mathew Johnsons Wagon Repair have really grabbed my attention, Loose Change and Konrad Black. Tech House and Minimal Techno.
Sounds Like: Electronic textures and tech beats with an attention to detail. Basslines and grooves to make your feet move and your body flow. Big speaker music that is carefully put together to work just as well on your ipod!
