Though a new member of the Control Breaks fraternity the man is no stranger to the world of dance music with a slew of releases in his own inimitable style that span the worlds of breaks, drum and bass as well as the more experimental corners of the electronic wonderland. 'Innie Outie' is a twisted electronic odyssey that delves into the listener's psyche, bending their perception and presenting the universe in a mysterious new way. It's the leading bassline that throbs its way through the track that's the key as it soon captures your attention and begins its work. Soon joined by a menagerie of quirky sounds the tune builds its way to a shocking conclusion that is sure to make an impact on any open minded dancefloor." (Control Breaks 2010)
