I am Feeling Down

I started DJing around 1995 and continue to do so today, but more for fun.  I have dj'd at some good Detroit Raves and some bad ones, a lot of bars, clubs and of course house and after parties

Once I left Detroit and went to college I continued to dj a bit at a lot of college parties and got a couple good rave gigs back in Detroit, but mainly did it for fun.

When everybody was spinning techno, I was spinning dark garage house or hardcore acid.  Once I moved to New York City I began to just dj at a few bars and at home.

While in college I began to make music.  I used a lot of computer based programming like Reason and Rebirth.  I would build custom Rebirth kits with samples from records and use the sequence with the built in 303 to add some flare.  I would then put it all together in programs like Cubase or Cool Edit Pro.

I then started adding hardware based solutions to the mix like Roland MC-307 and the Akai MPC.  Because I grew up with a drum set and always loved and was good at the drums I added a Roland V drum set to the array of toys.  This has a midi interface and can control the rest of my equiment.

I dont take the time to sit down and slowly create my music.  That is why it sounds very dirty.  I pretty much make it in one or two cuts, usually a song will take around 8 hours.  I then immediately record it not using song mode, but actually building it while I am recording it.  That is why the songs I make with the V drums sound very basic.  Well it is me experimenting with controlling numerous sounds and making a beat with drum stiucks on the fly.  It is really cool stuff, but doesnt sound produced enough for most.

Because of my DJ past I do almost all of my songs live.  Not much editing.  This makes for a great live show, which is what you hearin.
 
Most of the songs are made with V drums, Akai MPC,  Cubase, Roland 307, Computer 303, Rebirth, Reason, Cool Edit pro, etc.

Take a listen, don't expect a boring production - Expect it raw.
