My surroundings, big events in my life, stories, people. As far as musicians go, I could write forever. One of my biggest musical influences, though, is DJ Shadow. He opened my eyes to the world of illbient.
Each time you plug in your earphones, load one of his tracks in iTunes, or chill out with his latest CD on the car ride home, you’ll find yourself suddenly drawn into a particular compatible frequency with no escape…because you have an underlying notion that it was put there specifically for you.
In his 15 years of “electronica” producing tenure, 720k has managed to hone a fine craft out of creating his music in such a way that it speaks volumes of ingenious, clever, and spacious sound activities, in which its entire soul functions as a gateway for dimension jumping. 720k is a one-piece, live-PA, Electronica DJ/Producer who spends most of his time in the studio creating ambient, minimal, illbient, trip/hip-hop, techno, house and other electronica-related genres. Whether performing live or in the studio, 720k is dirty and functional at first, yet the more 720k you load into your system you will realize how technical the music becomes.
His roots stem from a solid diet of industrial dance, rock, and early electronic/techno. So the likes of KFMDM, NIN, Sister Machine Gun, Prodigy, Cirrus, Front 242, REM, Depeche Mode, Ramones, and many others are no strangers to the 720k playlist. With this curious selection of genres, he cuts in a mix of his own progressions of intellectual thought, spirituality, and life in his music to give it a serious connection with listeners. That connection will steal you from this world and supply a unique experience in sound where the organic meets with the autonomous.
To create the level of music that 720k consistently produces takes years of experience, research, and dedication that many other artists are unable to provide. Yet he does it with simplicity and function as if each song were a simple mathematical formula that connects you to his world.
So “Jack In” and I’ll see you there, riding a wave of high hats coupled with synthesizers that rival the space-time continuum, and completely at peace between the headphones…and remember one sole ideal: 720k put that sample “there” for you.
