[center] [center] Saggitarian dnb/breakz hed, and good music in genereal there isn't one thing that could compare to my love for mixing [or my love for music in general) Live to love, love to live. Spin:drum & bass(aka life), breaks, electro/house/techno, and anything else good(in my opinion). dnb trak: Ed Rush/Optical-Gas Mask house trak:n/a breaks:Quest & Odissi-Loser Electro:Royskopp-49% ~respect~ as originally posted on http://www.trueinfinite.com a brief history of my addiction to beatz Atomatik- Resident Monkey Adam's quite the character, you ask him for some minor details, and he says that there's no way that he could say anything more then "uh.. i like stuff"... and then, 3 days later, out of the blue, you find yourself in posession of a small novel. so, from the horses mouth, here's the entire story from adams point of view. well, with a few minor edits.. .. Where did it all begin. Well, I've been into music my whole life. My parents brought me up in an environment that was never without music. My first memory of becoming addicted to music was when my sister gave me a mix tape in grade 3. that was somewhere around 1987, and it had run dmc, Art of Noise, and BDP (boogie down productions) on it. I listened to that tape until it broke, and thinking back, that was probably when my music addiction began. Jumping ahead a few years, in grade 7, my sister introduced me to Ice T, Public Enemy and other similar artists. Then it was alternative in junior high, coupled with Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Violent Femmes, The Doors.. all consistent visitors to my record player, tape deck, and my first cd player. I moved back to Edmonton in grade ten, and I knew nobody, so I had 1 friend. Music. That’s when I first started listening to Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Front 242, Coal Chamber, Pantera, Sepultura, and KMFDM(to name a few). I was intrigued by Industrial music, and also by the Tribal rhythm of Sepultura's Roots album. Throughout highschool, industrial and metal were my main influences, which is probably why I took such an interest in Drum & Bass when I was first exposed to it. I was @ HMV one day & was looking through the "ELECTRONICA" section, and came across a Metalheadz 3 disc set. I didn’t even listen to it, I just bought it. I didn’t even know what d&b was at the time.. it was just.. "Wow. this is some great music!". Dillinja's early release, Warrior Jazz, was instantly a favorite of mine, and I was suddenly on a quest for more music with the same subsonic basslines and mesmerizing beats. I discovered Tuesday Nights @ Rebar on Whyte ave with celcius, MC Deadly & gundam, which was like the most amazing night I’ve been to. Soon added was The Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Daft Punk, The Orb, etc... which was good to hold me over, but still didn’t compare to what that metalheadz compilation made me feel. A few more years passed, and I had moved back to Ontario only 18 months after I started partying. I went to the World Electronic Music Festival and that was when I decided I wanted to spin. Usually at parties, I would dance for hours like everyone else, half the time not knowing/caring who was on the decks, but at wemf, I was up-front staring at the dj's movements, trying to decipher what was going on, constantly trying to pick apart the subsonic equation that drum & bass is compiled of. Back to Edmonton for Feb. 2003, an old party going friend(Vix) and I started going out in search of d&b/jungle nights. after like 3 weeks of searching, we discovered Thursday nights @ Donna @ the citadel. That’s when me n Vix decided I was gonna start spinning. I met Critical Condition, and he was selling his decks & some vinyl. I Jumped on this. AL, if it means anything, Your one of the leading causes to me sticking with it. I met My MC, Jimi James not long after, and he introduced me to a group of people I’ll never forget. The 106 cru. This is where I spent countless days/weeks/months at the decks, trial and error. Finally picking up beatmatching that July, just as I was feeling hopeless, that was a turning point. I was kind of stuck for 6 months when DJ LP, said female, and I had a massive mixing session. I learned more that day than I can account for, I just watched, observed, and absorbed. This is also when I got addicted to scratching. On April 8th, at Stars Nightclub, We threw a breaks party called "Slam On The Breaks". I prepped for this night for 6 weeks, I was so nervous(obviously), and the night was a total success. I played my first set with Mista Hellfiya, A breaks master, and we tore the roof off. A Bit of a break came through a Friend of the trueinfinite crew. DJ XU (houseunderground 88.5 cjsr) when he had to do a cover show for someone on a Sunday @ midnight. His Girlfriend who I’ve known for years, Amanda, took a listen my first breaks mix. And I eventually played 6 more times On CJSR, killing the fear of playing for people I don’t know. Lately, I’ve been just working on my technical skills, and trying to take mixing a little more seriously, while also focusing on scratching. If people ask me what I mix, my response is usually "what do you wanna hear?", although d&b/jungle will always own my heart.
