Hardware only, first machine Electribe EMX1 bought on release date, first Elektron around 7years ago MDmk1, and also A4 and DN + to many stuff to mention which I have gathered in all these years of gassing and ā€˜collectingā€™.

I canā€™t play keyboard, but I can program or sequence it! I need more hands or some slaves to play or control my synths :smile:

Turning 25 this month, and Iā€™ve been living on Long Island NY for about 5 years now but was born and raised in south Florida.

I guess I make hip hop? Idk, thatā€™s what I call it but it never sounds like traditional hip hop.

Iā€™ve got a wide range of influences; Prog Metal, Hip Hop, Game music, alternative/indie, etc. I like to take little bits of inspiration from everything and just make whatever I can. Lately Iā€™ve been really into the Soulection crewā€™s sound, particularly Monte Booker.

I also love me some old school boom bappinā€™:

Pete Rock, Madlib, MF Doom ( and all his aliases/collabs), Wu Tang, Mathematics, etc.

My biggest influence had to be FlyLo though, he really showed me that I can do whatever the fuck I want with hip hop and it still be dope.

Cool to see this! Thank you!
I wonder what would be the (dis)proportion of males x females (x other) here!

LOL. You must be new to electronic music.

Honestly all the DJs and artists im listening to atm seem to be women i dunno why. If I was a woman making electronic music I probably wouldnt be hanging round forumsā€¦ men act like everybody else is a man and it would be really off putting. Also there will be lots but they probably keep quiet about it would i imagine. Just my thoughts

39, North of Bergen, Norway.
Iā€™m into rock as a singer, but like everything with an edge to it. I play bass/sing in a band, but what I enjoy most of all is late night doodles on the digitakt/a4. Or soldering. I like soldering.

I do not often introduce myself, but i like this forum, so here we goā€¦
1981, Brandenburg, Germany


The first years I grow up in the GDR, so my first contact with music was mostly this :slight_smile: :


After the fall of the wall I start listening to electronic music and I was fascinated since i saw my first live broadcast of the MAYDAYā€¦here is a broadcast from 1995 :grin:

Loveparade (not the very first and not the very last ones) where fun, too. That was the first one I visited and the best (for me):

I do not follow such festivities anymore (nowadays the music is too stressful for me :upside_down_face:), but back then (about 20 years ago) it was great.


I listen to a lot of music genres these days (because inspiration comes from everywhere), but iā€™m still most influenced by electronic music. Iā€™m into straight minimal and synthwavish stuff, like:
