I just like to mess around with loops and see what I can do. If I make a track that sounds good, it's probably an accident. More about me can be found at http://www.myspace.com/basic_atheist

Can't play any instrument, but I can fake it. Well, that's not entirely true... I can beatbox, but I'm bashful with a mic.

Right now I'm just toying around with Acid Express 5.0, Sound Forge 6.0, Audacity, SDML 1.5 (it's 1.0 slightly modified).

Anything found at yard sales and pawn shops, then I stick a soldering iron in them and make it do what I want it to do... includes PC's, keyboards, drum machines, amps, G-dec's (solo and combo), and I sometimes make my own cables and adapters when money is really tight.

Very latest albums I'm listening to is from Soulidium, Big Tim (Australia), and Love Funk volumes 1 and 2. In case you are interested, the original mix of "You Dropped A Bomb On Me" by The Gap Band is on volume 2 of Love Funk, it's a little over 13 minutes long, I found it on iTunes.

Anything Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, The Fat Boys, C+C Music Factory, Poison, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, AC-DC, Tone-Loc, Vanilla Ice, Young MC, DJ Magic Mike... the list goes on.

Anything hip-hop/rap/dance/funk/rock...etc...but I hate gospel and country. Hick-Hop is OK though.

You tell me and we'll both know. LOL. I usually just mix whatever I feel like mixing. Most of the time I like to Hip-Hop-Funk-o-tize something. I try to work it all in like a rollercoaster ride sometimes too, start slow or soft, jam in the middle, and ease on out at the end. I also enjoy introducing instruments and other sounds like characters in a story moving along in a tune. I do it simply because it's fun!

I'm a Data Processing Jockey for a central operations center... and that's all I'm allowed to say.
