I've been dj'ing ever since i was able to afford to buy records. As a kid i'd mix tapes using one turntable from a regular Hi-Fi System. I'd dub the tracks together using the pause button on the cassette deck. It taught me how to read records . . . the architecture of Music is as mind blowing as any major piece of construction. It's a mental journey that i enjoy playing. I'm also more sound oriented that lyrically. Don't get me wrong . . . i love Vocals. They just have to be complex and/or really moving. You won't catch me playing "Peanut Butter Jelly".
Production is something i've only been doing for a year (since Summer 2006) and i know i have much to learn. I started producing after friend/producer James Scannell introduced me to "Reason" and while i still use it have begun to teach myself "Ableton" (live5) . If anyone has any tips for me using either program, my ears are as open as my mind!!
That's all for now . . . . i may add more from time to time.
Mmmmm Music. I'm seriously into a lot of electronic music, House, Tech-House, Progressive, Breaks, Electro, Techno, D & B, Acid Jazz, Trip-Hop, Hip hop (not rap), Ambient, Abstract (some). I'm also into Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Gospel (i'm not religious but i love the voices) Dub, Reggae, Rock (some) & Classical.
Here's a few examples of artists that have had my head nodding during my time on this planet (in no particular order) - Tribe called Quest, Run DMC, The Roots, Black eyed Peas, Common, Mos Def, Fat Boys, Mantronix, Whodini, Sugarhill Gang, Big daddy Kane, Kool Moe dee, Kurtis Blow, Ice T, Black Sheep, Stetsasonic, Tone loc, Malcom Mclaren, 808 State, New Order, Depeche Mode, Electribe 101, A Guy Called Gerald, Doug Lazy.

His name is Steve. He was born in Milan, then a bunch of crazy stuff happened. Now he lives in Portland Oregon, where he crafts his own unique blend of electronic music. www.letsgooutside.com www.myspace.com/letsgooutside www.virb.com/letsgooutside free download @ www.oneweektolive.com Soma have decided to release a free single! It will be released exclusively with One Week To Live as the UK magazine prepares to go completely digital. The decision came after Soma were tiring of seeing releases on illegal mp3 websites. It will be available athttp://www.OneWeekToLive.com Who better to try out such an experiment than the debutant Let's Go Outside. Following massive response from the likes of Josh Wink, Ivan Smagghe and Andrew Weatherall for his debut release on Soma's experimental offshoot Pnuma Records, Soma believe that it's only right for Let's Go Outside to play with the big boys on this release. Let's Go Outside hails from Portland, Oregon where he first released on small local experimental label, Buried In Time. He then moved onto Bradford-based Midnight Recordings before being picked up by Pnuma shortly after. Citing his influences as "techno, techno, techno and Tetris", LGO also takes inspiration from IDM, ambient and electro, all of which are evident in this three-tracker. Early 2008 will see the re-release of I'll Lick Your Spine by LGO (originally on Pnuma). This will feature remixes by Massi DL and label mate, Vector Lovers. Let's Go Outside's debut album, 'A Picnic With The Hunters', is due for release in January 2008.
