i thought so ha ha ha! its just that there were a couple of different sounds coming out ie; dont you, and; do what you do. i know im stating the obvious by saying they were different, all though yours and tonys trademark were stamped on them, (did you work on these tracks simon?) im curious as to what may or may not of been round the corner sound wise. probably a stupid hypothesis i know!

gabba was pretty daft. went to a couple of clubs where they had a room playing it. no matter what i was "on" think after around 10mins my eyes would start bleeding! and of course law of the sod says you would have to walk through the gabba room to get to the bar or toilets. What makes me laugh the most though is that alot of squat partys in london where banging out this noise and the people at the party would be taking ketamine! eh? strange!

Yep, i co-rote all the TDV stuff apart from the Dawn....top tune from the great Paul Janes....top man!!

Gabba......yuk......as bad as Scooter!!

I bin asked to re-do some TDV and even jump on the bandwagon......but i cant bring myself to do it!

So back to the drawing board for me!!

What sort of stuff are you into at the moment? what is inlfuencing you right now? ive been really getting into jazz was in Galway ireland recently and saw some amazing players on guy who is only around 22-23 was such a good trumpet player! Dance wise is a little harder. Dont mind some of the new prodigy stuff but i cant put my finger on why its not excellent. sasha's newish album air drawn dagger has some nice moments. As for banging stuff well not alot really nothing new springs to mind. Ive just sold my decks to buy a new pc so that i can start producing stuff of my own need to get my head around the basics first though ive got an idea in my head of what i want to do but its just a case of transforming that to a real sound if you know what i mean.

Im not into anyone really, never have been...

I have always listened to anything that has a good melody and feel.

im into getting the unusual and putting it together to form something mad and probably not acepted until someone comes along and tells me its good and they want to work on it as the next big thing....maybe?

I love sitting in front of a keyboard and playing....just playing anything until a riff comes to mind....no computers, just one sound on a synth.

Then, when it sounds good i switch on the sequencer and add the rest untill it makes a track.

I now also call up Acid Pro 4, throw a load of sample into it until i get a real great beat (i done one today using house, hiphop and funky beat with a bit of a percussion loop....all mashed together with a great fillin 120bpm...sounds mad...but catchy) then export the wav to cubase and add my own riffs with vocals.....!

I play it to a few people i know (just family and friends), if they like it and start singing to it even time after listening to it....i know im onto a winner!

I have so many riffs and melodies at the moment but no finished tracks as im busy with my home PC business at the mo, but will get back to finishing tracks in a day again.....then in a couple of hours like i used to!

If someone plays them, then great! if not, they will sit there on my shelf until someone does hear them.

Money and profit is not my motivation....just passion.

I wish u all the best in crating tracks....just take it one step at a time and you will master it...........or like Tony.....get someone else to be your hands! Smile

All the best!!

Si.

do you have any of your "solo" stuff comercially available? would be really keen to hear some!
I would ask you to send me some of your tracks but i realise that im sure you wouldnt want to do that for many reasons especially if they are unreleased!
Thanks for wishing me luck, who knows what the future holds

Hi Mate,

no, i dont have anythin out there at the moment on the commercial front, i just do what i did back in 1990 and create tracks for myself.

It has become more of a hobby no which is what i needed to become 'creative' again without the pressures of being forced to keep lables happy by playing what they dictate. One reason for losing the 'passion' in the industry a few years ago.

I have now started creating again and will be putting the new tracks on my site - www.frozenuk.com

My main business now is computers & web design - www.fznsolutions.co.uk

I can also start putting the links to my new stuff on here too!

Si.
