Electronic music producer of various genres  & DJ based in Sydney, Australia.


-=================================-

I Started getting into jungle and hardcore at the early age of 15 (1998). I went to a lot of Happy Hardcore/Jungle parties in WA and listening to old dreamscape mixtapes. I was going to raves like Sonik 98, EMAS, Prophecy, Abduction, etc. I started to get into it as much as I could. I started sneaking into clubs with raving buddies and going to clubs like: Gravity and DC’s. Playing with fruityloops after going out and playing around on my roommates decks an interest for creating and playing these styles came about. 

I started taking production more seriously and started learning the tools and DJing wise started buying up records and got my own set of decks. I started DJing and promoting parties about around 2005.

I got my first piece of hardware (an MPC 2000 XL) about 2 years ago via eBay and I now have the hardware bug. 

Recently I have been recording local hip hop artists and started dabling in live broadcasts on the internet.

In the future I would like to work with some more vocalists, street poets and producers. I also would like to learn more instruments and create a live performance.

Hailing from Sydney, THE STRIDES have become a new force for urban roots music. Fronted by Reggae Master Ras Roni from Barbados via London, and Fijian MC LTL G-Zeus, The Strides have delivered their classic sound to crowds across the country, delivering a musical experience that is as powerfully explosive as it is authentic.

With two acclaimed albums already under their belt, a European label signing, festival appearances across the country and having graced the stage with the likes of Julian Marley, Tony Allen and Groundation, The Strides' music faithfully builds on the foundations of classic roots reggae with a hip-hop edge, forging a sound that brings together modern dance hall, world beats and reggae-pop. The Strides have forged a truly global sound melding a diversity of cultures and instrumentation under the one universal consciousness.

With a calling card of powerfully melodic horns, infectious bass lines, easy musings and a magnetic stage presence between its two lead vocalists, the Strides are an 8-piece collective of multi talented songwriters and musicians. Having bunkered down for an intensive week long hothouse of jamming and songwriting, the tracks for their forthcoming long player were laid down at U-Live Studios outside of Byron Bay, and later mixed at Tanuki Lounge in Brisbane's West End by producer / engineer Paulie B.

'One for One' is the new single by the band and the first taste of the aforementioned forthcoming third album, set for early 2014 release. 'One for One' showcases the talents and rhymes of LTL Gzeus alongside the incredible vocals of future-soul rising star Ngaiire, in a song about self realisation, self-discovery, and coming to terms with a new world that is not what you expected. It’s a mark of that time in your life when everything is still new and curiosity has its first real go at you. The life you learn is not the life you know. One for the money, one for the lovin' - One for One.
