56, originally from Portsmouth UK, been living in Sofia, Bulgaria for the past 15 years.

I grew up on Bowie, Smiths, Cure, Joy Division.

Moved to London and caught the ā€œSummer of Loveā€ and the Rave scene full on, I donā€™t think my brain went back together properly after all those pills.

Iā€™ll listen to almost anything now, as long as its not modern jazz, or country!

Really enjoy dubby ambient techno and a good spliff.

Iā€™ve done a few bits and bobs on Si Begg and Kid606ā€™s labels and I love anything from old Metalheadz D&B through to oddball techno like Vessel etc.

I currently have a massive soft spot for cheesy house & bass like Flava D / DJ Q / Squire of Gothos etc but my tastes change every month :wink:

Itā€™s most likely because much younger people typically donā€™t have the kind of money needed to buy any Elektron machineā€¦

Hi there,
wherever you are.
Iā€™m 41, Naples.
Grew up with Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Maradona.
For about a month I closed my laptop,

sold my sound card and bought an Octatrack
for my beloved Monomachine.
I often read the forums to find answers and I am grateful to you all.
Waiting to read about some meeting somewhere ā€¦

my best regards!
