TBT.   Released this on M.A.D. Bass in late 2003. If you couldn't tell - I was heavily into Konflict's sound at the time. Produced with a Mac Performa 466, Cubase v1, recycle, 16 mb of samples on an Akai S3000XL sampler, Yamaha Pro Mix01 mixing board. There is a sub but it's 50 Hz and below so if you're listening on a phone speaker you aren't likely to hear it.

I'm an American Drum & Bass producer & DJ. Releases on PTSM (NYC), Broken Trax (London), and my own imprints 
Inverse Recordings, and older vinyl & CD releases on M.A.D. BASS Recordings (99-04). 

Early on, in my most active years (1993 to 2004), I performed in the Midwest and North West with occasional tours and one-off events on the East & West coasts. In those years I played on line ups with many of the biggest names in Drum & Bass from the UK & US. 

For many years I performed weekly live-on-air mixed broadcasts on:
 
WRVU (91.1 FM "Abstractions" 96-00) 
WWHR (91.7 FM - "DnBFM" 01-04) 
(There were a few pirate station residencies also) 

Streamed broadcasts:
113 Audio (96-99)
DnBTV (00-04)

In 1998 I began M.A.D. Bass Recordings (Middle American Drum & Bass) with a friend and investor (Yeji Hong; Bellecore Productions, Boston MA) to release my own DnB tunes and those of the talent I thought had merit to be pressed in vinyl. Through M.A.D. Bass we released numerous vinyl 12" 45 singles and a CD LP. All releases were mastered by The Exchange in London. Artists that had releases on M.A.D. BASS included: 

Embee (Juice, Splash, Ganja, Eastside, Fuze)
KC (Symmetry, Human, Eat Brain).  
NoiseFloor (Propa/Impropa Talent). 

Other collaborative releases that appeared on M.A.D. BASS included: 
3vil G3nius, Troll, Mowgli, Mayday, Danny C, Brad Peterson (Moods & Grooves), and Digicide. 

Some of the pseudonyms I've produced tracks under are: MK2, ZeroSum, Dirty South, Kindred Spirit, Tryptech, Paradox, Ken2Keys, and Bootleg.

I've always been a fan of any kind of music - so long as it appeals to my ears. DnB is still my forte but I've decided to branch out and produce whatever I feel like whenever the idea hits me. Therefore in addition to the DnB I produce you will find some clips of slower tempo tunes I've produced and posted on this page.
