How is it like for you being in Dayton, Ohio?
It is very easy and comfortable to live here. It is also very inexpensive · I can pretty much pay my bills by freelancing, which frees up most of my time for pursuing my own projects, which is why I’ve stayed here for so long. I am so consumed by my various endeavors, that I don’t even notice where I’m living. Tell us a bit of your new LP. The new LP is still a work in progress · I hope to have it finished by the end of the year. It’s called “Phantom Of The Disco” · and it’s a concept album about the Phantom Of The Disco · the behind-the-scenes creator of nightlife, and the people & challenges he encounters. The music will be sample-based disco / electro / funk / hip-hop.
How did you pick up music?
When I was in the 7th grade, I attended a summer-camp about radio-broadcasting, and got my first taste of audio-editing. I also experimented on my parents computer making loops (with the primitive “Wave Editor” software). At the same time, I was first introduced to electronic music, hip-hop and scratching. That’s when I decided I wanted to start making music. I decided my instrument of choice would be turntables / scratching, so I started the long process of saving up money to purchase them…. And the rest is history!
Favourite music making thing/gear you own or wish you had?
