Armed with a MPC1000, a MicroKorg and a Kaosspad he shapes futuristic walls of sound, combined with backbreaking wonky drums and mindboggling vocals that flow stereoscopically from left to right. An excellent addition to the blooming beat scene of this current day and age.

Rendering his dreams into a eclectic musical form, the vibes are reminiscent of the greatest works of Dimlite, Flying Lotus and Eskmo.
