Artist History Performing Electronic Music since October 2000 after formerly having punk connections. Slowly moved from sample based recordings to almost strictly original tracks - created and mixed down in my own bedroom studio here in Christchurch New Zealand. I started out making DJ shadow orientated Jazzy Illbient Beats and I moved through funky breaks and trip-hop soundscapes to a (mostly Laidback) Drum'N Bass Groove. More Recently
