Are you signed to a label? If not what label do you wish would sign you?

I am currently releasing my first 3 track EP, “Positive Vibes” (which contains positve vibes, low roller, and cosmic warp) with Dekoy records, who are a digital download record label, but am also in the process of sending other songs to some more digital release labels. But ultimately dream of the day I can hold a 12″ record in my hands with my name on it!

How long have you been producing? Tell me about your journey to where you are today.

I have been making beats on Korg Electribes for about 8 years or so now ( if youv never heard of them, check them out! ) , they are fairly basic drum machines, but you are very limited to what you can produce on them, so around august 2010, I decided to buy a computer and get a copy of fruity loops 10! , which isnt renowned for being the most professional software in the world, but I get on with it!

What drum & bass, dubstep, drumstep producers do you listen to on a regular basis? How much would you say their sound influences your sound?

To me your sound has that awesome drum and bass grunge feeling, but you bring a little bit of a smooth liquid vibe into it. Is that your goal with your tracks or does that characteristic just appear in your music?

My sound has changed with time, back in the day I was really into the whole ibiza era, but then I came across the likes of old skool dnb/jungle artists such as aphrodite, and I have been a MASSIVE dnb head since then! and I suppose as drum and bass has progressed, my love for the sub genre “jump up” has grown.

So I suppose the more liquidy vibe in my tunes comes from my love of old ibiza dance tunes, and as for the basses?, I’m a sucker for the dirty distorted ear melting stuff!!

Give me a quick run down of what your running in your home studio.

My studio setup consists of a gaming pc (for the spec), a basic midi keyboard and my girlfriends hifi speaker that I stole of her! ha! oh, and and big fat sub!, software wise, Ni Massive is an absolute MUST!, a shed load of one shot drum samples, and good old Izotope Ozone 4, which is an absolutly quality bit of master channel software.
