What to expect
from a 22 year old Polish guy who preferred Brian Eno's MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS over Michael
Jackson 's THRILLER when he was like, 12 years old ? His father, a real musiclover and
always on the lookout for new things put him on this trail.. The next thing was discovering samplebased music. After being swept away by people like PORTISHEAD and especially the abstract hip-hop of DJ Shadow and DJ Krush he started out making his own music using just his PC and, after a while, a turntable. [The Technics 1200.. the noon model, so to speak..] The final addition to his setup was a MPC2000 sampler. But how can you make music if you limit yourself to using only samples? All of which should be strictly from vinyl records as a matter of fact.. The main ingredient of his music is a strong mood...His music is unlike Viktor Sjöberg 's tracks but he shares the same attitude nevertheless. He knows what he wants and keeps digging the crates till he finds those samples that will help him shape those feelings into music. He has the rare ability to give a sampler a soul, to control it instead of being controlled by it. He just knows what he wants and works those tracks until they are right. It is not techno or hip-hop. It is not dance. It is trippy, but no triphop. Introspective and contemplative are words that come to mind when listening to his tracks. His first album BLEAK OUTPUT
is available and got excellent reviews. Check for yourself : download this mp3 or check the tracklist and listen to
