"I started tinkering with Fruityloops 3.56 for a short period when I was just 12 years old. I was creating some weird music with no real direction as I had not really heard any electronica at that stage, as I had only got into music in general 2 years before!

Everything changed at about age 15 when I heard the music my friend(also a producer)'s brother was into when I was driving in his car. He was a highly suspect individual, and we knew he was a psychonaut of some sort, dabbling in the occult, psychedelics and some sort of strange electronic music that I, and about 99% of people in Australia had never heard of.

The first song I remember hearing was "Cybertropic" by The Infinity Project, which I found very humorous because of the twisted voice/drug samples but at the same time I was intrigued by the catchy, irregular and almost hypnotic-sounding beats. We slowly discovered Infected Mushroom, 1200 mics, and other commercial psytrance acts by trawling through gigabytes of music on the same guy's computer.

I started producing some pretty bad psytrance in 2006/2007, as I have never studied music or played an instrument, finally getting bored with it and quitting. In 2008 I attended one of Adelaide, Australia's very small psytrance parties and enjoyed it immensely. Around the same time I started experimenting with enthogens and discovered old school goa trance, which I immediately ditched psytrance for.

I think artists like Pleiadians, BPC, Filteria, Koxbox, UX, Eric B(System Shock) and Transwave got me into producing again in mid 2009 and I started getting pretty good at it.

And here I am now in 2010, using FL Studio 8 and no hardware. After making a few darkish goa tracks I am focusing at the moment on making somewhat of a hybrid between dark goa and a more futuristic, industrial type sound like Eric B and Cybernetika are known for, whilst somehow incorporating the old tribal feel of 604. I am also playing at some parties in South Australia soon. Hope you like my stuff :)"
