I havent posted a track in a million years, but am actively still producing privately.  As a dubstep producer, I tend to aim for tracks that are somewhere between hard and gritty.  What I usually end up with, however, is something between gritty and chilled out.  Dubstep is not for everyone, and my personal flavor of dubstep is for even fewer people.    Music is not my career, but rather, a passionate hobby.  I know I will never be famous, and I do not care.  I do this for me.  I am my own biggest fan, and my own worst critic.  I have been making hip-hop beats casually for over a decade.  Then i  discovered Dubstep, and it was love at first listen.

I always have a bassline or a melody running through my head, and I make tracks as an outlet for that constant stream.  I also produce because the process moves me.  When I am producing, I am in another world.  Each track is born out of a particular mood or feeling, and when I listen to the tracks months or years later, I am drawn right back into the mood of that time, for better or worse.  I began putting my music online because I figured if I can move myself with my music, then perhaps it can also move somebody else.  I am thrilled to see so many people enjoying my music.

My current setup revolves around Ableton Live.   I use a Beringer 49-key keyboard and an Akai MPK Mini pad-keyboard.  I also own a Novation Launchpad (which admittedly gets little use.  Most drums are done on a Mashine Mk2. To create my basslines and synths,I mostly use NI Massive + Kontakt.    I have no formal training, and learned all I know by experimentation and online tutorial.
