Reply To: What got you into DnB?
ALL THE FUCKING MONEY
jk
This is a chronological list, and how I can trace it all back:
Prodigy/Hardcore in HS (mid nineties)
Happy Hardcore (don’t judge me…we listened to what we had)
Jungle
Goldie/Timeless
Metalheadz
Bad Co + Ed Rush & Op
$X,XXX in gear and records
Played a monthly + with a HK DnB crew for almost 2 years
Played out internationally (made some decent record-buying-cash, too)
Parties were FUCKING AMAZEBALLS
$XX,XXX in hardware (emu, virusb, yammie cs, etc)
Back to College = sell much of it
$XX,XXX 10 yrs after that in hardware software
DJs played my stuff, parties were pretty fun
Married + grad school = put it all down again
Brother shoots self in head (RIP)
Realize what matters most
Pick it up again…last chance to go all the way
Music saves my life
No more parties, just the music
~2yrs of 25+ hours a week. Including 4 hours today…
And I have never wavered from the guts and soul of the music I love so much.
It just took a shitty year for me to realize how important it was to me.
That’s why I have the passion I do, and it’s why I love and support all of these talented young artists who are going after their dreams before realizing it’s too late. It’s why I am as active as I am on here. I want to help, and this site & training is LEGIT.
Hopefully the next entry will be “achieves 1st commercial release.”
