Well, I really don't know where to start... I guess GMS has been a good teacher... whenever one needs to know the formula, one can always turn to GMS. Astrix has shown me the way also and Neuromotor has given loads of power and attitude, Suria always puts me in a trance and takes me to where he knows I want to go. Audialize, well his ideas of pure aural quality come in line with my over sensitive hearing and has always been a good hint in the right direction. The South African Crew makes me remember that the southern hemispheres' melancholic memories are an important part of my life and having grown up there, I can relate to the water twirling to the left.
The other influences are from different genres, but I guess it's the quality of the production and the innovative approaches that make my music flow in the direction it does.
Having been taught by my Dad, way back in 1990, how to listen to electronic music (when Acid music and big yellow smiley faces were the headline of all news buletins that targeted the "jilted generation") was the initial moment in my craze and craving for dance music of the pac-man, pill munching, dark room, repetetive electronic type. Since then I have gone through the production of many successful parties and by the time I was 14, I was in the south of Portugal teaching the younger ones how to listen and appreciate, without prejudice, the art of producing the most mind bending sounds ever heard! Later, I persued the technology that allowed everything to happen, while practicing the arts of mixing and matching all sorts of hybrid creations of the alternate kind.
I discovered the psychedlic scene by accident after a drunken voyage to the hills of Sintra, where the magic of the mountain and the warmth of the travelling English "neo-hippies" sucked me into the only uncharted territory... The Human Brain. It was at this moment, in 1996, that I realised that I would be forever connected with the spirit of the Earth, and it's simplistic ways made me realise what was important in life.... Life itself! .....How it is liven, to it's fullest. This view has and always will define how the future shapes whatever is thrown in my path.
