Whatever I feel like on the day. but generally pushing for minimal techno or IDM sound.
Music is my life. I've been listening to it since I can remember, hearing my mums records as a little boy, getting introduced to massive attack, lamb, the cure, tricky, etc before I was 12 through my sisters musical tastes. Then progressing through friends/radio while attending the odd underage rock/punk concerts. Then hitting the big festivals at about 15 like Livid, Big Day Out and Homebake. Progressed into raves and warehouse parties by 17. Then discovering the underground psy trance and drum n bass warehouse/bush doof scene. Since then i've always had a growing taste for unique electronic and acoustic music. Music that pushes the boundaries because they can be pushed!!
I got into producing through my excessive love for dancing to music and getting lost in my deepest subconcious through funkstyles/breakdancing/liquid/firetwirling. I love everything from classical, old school jazz, Soul, funk, rock and punk... right up into techno, breakcore, jungle, Dubstep, breakbeat, psy trance, ambient, progressive, house, electro etc.

Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's free so...
I like your dubstep musci as well. I guess it's kind of a hard world out there fore IDM since it's not intended as dance-floor music. It's kind of like the division between Swing and Bebop in Jazz, although IDM is more of a minority movement.
