Biography
The band started as a 1 man project, equipped with a Portastudio, a guitar and a tr-707 drum machine, early compositions were a mix between early house and grunge music, mixing the 4 on the floor rhythm with loud fuzz guitar. As the technology evolved, so did the Project; recruiting performers and signers and buying, finding or building new gadgets and sound mangling devices. Computers were a revolution in the course of things, starting with trackers, evolving towards MIDI sequencers and then full blown audio sequencing.
The Music also evolved from simple riffs over a steady beat to more complex and mysterious texture in some works and at the same time exploded into full blown (at the time) modern Rave party music in others. The band got some good chart hits and even sold Cd's worldwide on the then underground mp3.com (the real one, not the new one) music website that since closed.
Over the years, different styles were explored as the personel changed(house music, techno, drum and bass, rock music, noise rock, pop music, trance music, urban music and some unclassifiable sounds). Performers including Luke, Mister W, YUL, DP and bands like Cobaye Molotov, BLT and Wreck Order participated to different Live events and special recordings (all available online)
In late 2005, after 3 years busy on other projects Production started back in a make shift home studio to produce some tracks and find performers to play them, process which lead to delay after delay in the production of a new album.
In 2007, he met Tone E Scott for whom he mixed a few tracks and mastered the new album: - Alea Jacta Es (edition Euro)
