About Me

...............Buy/Download my music @ .....................In the past few years, really been feeling my mother's Mediterranean genes coming through in me.. I've always felt like I needed a sunnier lifestyle but now I definitly need to try something else.. I love the UK and its' mixes of music but still I' ve got to get myself to the Med for bit. I feel this is the biggest influence on my music at present. I'm generally after something a bit colourful or futuristic in a technological sense... I love new technology and new sounds but also love delving into different styles of the past. The 70s sound is pretty fresh for me right now, there's something futuristic about that sound and style of era in general. Any other influences I have lie with travelling, recording, listening and meeting positive, nice imaginative people. I've been DJing for around 7 years, generally playing electronica, breaks, glitch hop, hip hop, down beats etc. I've been producing for about 4 years bringing all my influences from DJing together with varied results. I kind of cover a wide spectrum of genres to create my sound but try not to stick to any particular style.. I'm getting more into turntablism and incorporating new ways to perform my compositions live. The next stage for me is using a combination of software and hardware... maybe by programming/designing an instrument in MAX MSP. I was studying a BA in Creative Music Technology at Bath/Bristol. I completed the first year but I've decided to check Barcelona out... learn the languages, continue studying, improve my life style and my music. I hope you can enjoy my beats, might take a few listens to get really involved with them.. I try to keep endurable. Also I'm always looking for animators/ film makers to take my track and do their own thing them, so get in touch or just drop us a comment

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/5/2006
Band Members: Just me... Felix Devonshire. I collaberate with other producers, DJs, MCs, musicians etc. whenever possible but primarily all production, programming, scratches etc. are the works of me consol (unless otherwise stated on the track title).I would love to work on big DJ sets (and general performances) with someone whos into the same stuff as me (or maybe completely different stuff). The more hands on deck the more possibilities and all that.
Influences: All music from jazz (good jazz) to electro but main influences come from the records I buy. I was a huge Ninja Tune head a few years ago (still am), they really set the bench mark for quality control for me. I'm really into the combination of electronica and hip hop. Anything with intelligent, clean sound design and crisp hip hop production rings my bells... Prefuse 73, Dabrye, Daedelus. My more embedded influences include DJ Shadow, Amon Tobin, Red Snapper, Venetian Snares, DJ Food, Herbaliser, Kid Koala, Life Without Buildings, Quasimoto/Madlib, Liam Howlett (for the Dirtchamber Sessions) etc etc etc. Also I love visuals with music- art in all forms, pictures, animation, installations, film etc. I would love for any animators/ film makers and artists alike to get in touch to collaborate on any ideas they may have. If anyone wants a track to work over I'd be really interested in the result. .. width="425" height="350" ..
Sounds Like: The consol sound is an eclectic amalgamation of all of my influences but wouldn't say it sounds like any of them specifically. If I would hazard a likeness I would say Prefuse and Dabrye crossed with Amon Tobin and Kid Koala but I guess you should just listen.
Type of Label: None
