Something personal: I am into Techno since I first heard the Joey Beltram remix of "Infiltrate 202" on the radio as a child, soon I picked up Thunderdome II on a local CD Store and was forever hooked. My first actual tracks were made with a a 80286 PC with Soundblaster Card, a Sample Editor (unfortunately no DAW, no Midi, no nothing), a Cassette Deck, a CD Player and a VCR. Today I work with Hardware Synths (the tracks of this EP are actually not sample-based, instead they are synthesized from scratch, a DAW used only for mastering.) Thus, these tracks are ready to perfom live. Speaking of which, I like to upload demos of my tracks to youtube (where they gather up to 10,000 Views) and I like to play/test them live before release - to see which of my tracks never get boring. These are three of them.
In any case: Enjoy listening :)
