Sp3cul8

Old school sample lover. My first sampler was a scsi unit plugged into the back of an Amiga in the 1980s. Refugee of the infamous Melbourne rave scene of the 90s.
When I used to DJ back in the olden times I went by DJ SP3CUL8 but when I played live with my hardware machines I used the monkier "Proximity Efkt". Retired from playing in clubs now (old fart that I am) but still making tunes and using my hardware to make samples for all the young ones out there. When I started out finding samples was so hard, but with Looperman I can help others and that makes me happy to be able to give back.

Been crate digging in the dust - looking for old vox especially. Poetry records and storybooks are great for the kind of music I make.

Easy E - Easy Duz It.
Spiderbait - Songs in the key of J.
Prodigy - Music for the jilted generation.
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
RUN DMC - Tougher than Leather
Avalanches - Since I Left You
Beatles - Sgt Peppers
The Doors - The Doors
Dave Clarke - Archive One
Carl Cox - F.A.C.T

Anyone who uses samples, from the Avalanches to the Prodigy through to Chris Liebing and Mallgrab. I'm not fussy or elitist at all - and I really do listen to everything. I like all electronic dance music but I'd have to say that I'm mostly influenced by 90s techno and trance for the sounds I put out.

I'm loving the bush techno sound. I guess my music is a bit more on the techno side than the psy side, although the trance influence is in my blood, having been to bush doofs since the earliest Earthcores through to Esoteric today.

I have a Soundcloud if you wanna hear more of my stuff both old and new.
