This release will include two soundclashes.Also check out the cuz beats myspace for more tunes from the KIN album
Influences: I have many many influences to make allsorts of music, especially on my KIN projects. The music is definitely driven by people like Ian Pooley, Carl Cox, Daft Punk, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, Luke Slater, legends like that for their driving energy tracks! but also NIN and Prodigy (for the industrial beat madness), Chimaera (for the brute force in their tracks), Orbital and Chemical Brothers (for melodic and driving tracks), Fleetwood Mac and Steely Dan (for the lovely warm 70's fuzzy rock sounding albums). The only hip hop that influences me is anything Wu related (Master Killa, M.E.T.H.O.D maaaaaann, RZA and GZA and the other geniuses - for their beats and genuine brilliance) and Nas for his lyrical content and laidback flow and probably Busta when he was younger with amazingly quick flow and timing. I'm always listening to different stuff, albums that I missed first time round and it always changes my thinking on music, which is the way it should be dudes!!!!!
Sounds Like: i've worked my arse off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
