PAST: I started making electronic music in '88 when I got my first sampler. Originally inspired by 80's synth pop, electro and ebm, bands like DAF, Kraftwerk, OMD, New Order, Depeche Mode, Front242, Afrika Bambaataa and Nitzer Ebb. The 90's soon arrived with rave, acid jazz, trip hop, progressive house, techno, and drum&bass, I enjoyed it all, dj'ed a bit, partied hard and then some. The years passed, I played in numerous bands but always continued to pursue my 80's electro, technopunk, house thing. Around about the mid 90's I decided to concentrate on my career, mistake. I was dying a slow uncreative death, but didn't know it. Luckily in 2002 I got back into music with the help of a little program called Reason and a good dj friend. The days of lugging over 60k of hardware around were over, I was free and started to dj again. I was resident at Inoteka Bar in Athens, Greece for three years, a tiny little place but the only true electro/freestyle bar in the city at the time.
PRESENT: Back in Dublin since 2005 I'm a resident with the Hospital crew and regularly do live sets and dj with them at WAX every friday. Visit my website and download a free copy of my last album 'Mercury Rising' recorded during the spring/summer of 2005. Leave a comment and tell me what you think.

NEW FREE HERV DIGITAL RELEASE OUT NOW ON COCK ROCK DISCO!
Heres what label owner Jason Forrest had to say!
Herv: "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..."
"Ireland's sexiest laptopper lands his latest mini-album on Cock Rock Disco! "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..." is a rave inspired experimental break-acid-core thrill ride of endless ideas and possibilities. Herv packs a lot into the 8 tracks; melodies evolve and twist, beats fracture and congeal and synths collide! It's exciting! But that's not all, it comes with 2 cd designs and a freakin A0 sized poster! Whoa! Can't beat the value in that!"
Finished that track I was talking to you about. Check it out my myspace player. Also I lost your email.. Can you send to me? I'll email you a copy of the track.
Yeah, the weather's a bit changeable at the mo, but give it a month and it should be nice. Reasonable enough pricewise too. Not as cheap as here, but it's not crazy.
Hey dude, just thought Id stop by and say hello :) That mic has been workin a treat!! Added a few tweek programms to it, but all in all its an amazing Mic!!. Chris
