I've collaborated in the past with Nursehella, Beefy, Blank Grid, Nimrod Tsabari, Galactic Boy amongst other people, and I've remixed a ton of different people though notables include MC Frontalot, Optimus Rhyme, MegaRan and mc chris. | | Influences | MC Frontalot, Lupe Fiasco, Blue Scholars, Chamillionaire, Gemstones, M.I.A., Kanye West, NaS (especially It Was Written,) 2pac, YT Cracker, MC Lars, High Contrast, Roni Size (especially New Forms, ) 1.8.7 (aka Jordana), Klute (Lie Cheat and Steal, ) Luke Slater (Freek Funk, ) Coldcut, Dangermouse, Kenna, Yoko Kanno (especially Arjuna + Cowboy Bebop OSTs, ) Queen, Pearl Jam (Ten-Vitalogy + Yield, ) Stone Temple Pilots (Core-Vatican Gift Shop, ) Nirvana, The Crystal Method (Vegas, ) Smashing Pumpkins (Melloncollie + Airplane Flies High, ) Jungle Sky Records (compilations 1-6, ) Koi Kaze OST, The Velvet Underground, The Chemical Brothers (Exit Planet Dust-Surrender, ) Fatboy Slim (Better Living + You've Come A Long Way, ) The Pillows (especially the FLCL OSTs, Penalty Life + Please Mr. Lostman, ) Jimi Hendrix, Veruca Salt (American Thighs-Eight Arms, ) Concord Dawn (especially the more melodic stuff, ) Syncopix, The Postal Service, Haibane Renmei OST, Beck, Air, Bjork (Homogenic,) Daft Punk (Homework + Discovery, ) Samurai Champloo OST, DJ Shadow (especially Entroducing + The Private Press,) mc chris, and good mash ups. | | Sounds Like | The Nerdcore stuff draws from old school and modern Rap styles, while being infused with a clear Drum n' Bass/Glitch/Downtempo/TripHop/BigBeat edge at points and with some soundtrack/scoring elements as well. Like Lupe Fiasco and MC Frontalot via Yoko Kanno, Aphex Twin, Chamillionaire and Kenna with detours through other sonic neighborhoods.
The Drum n' Bass stuff starts out some between clumsy and decent with my early albums, and ends up sonic sitting somewhere between High Contrast and Jordana (aka 1.8.7) by the most recent album I've released in the genre.
