shades of funk
is my current moniker for writing and producing electronic music... i don't really write to one certain style or genre but my current tracks have spanned house, hip-hop and breaks... i have "released" one sort of 4 track ep thingee to give to me friends and that so far... this webpage is another of my attempts to get people into my music...

i've been producing for the last 5 years starting with just rebirth and then moving to samples and other equipment, working on me guitar, keyboard and arrangement skills in that time, also been a little bit of a dabbler with that dj thing, which i'm ok - hey i can almost beatmatch...

right now i'm based in christchurch, new zealand and last year in 2001 i played a few gigs at "thermal" a house and dub night at "la fox da box" which were fairly average...

here's a sort of list of me studio to date (boy i need to improve it, lack of funds see...):

  • evolution mk-149 keyboard
  • roland m-vs1 sound expansion
  • boss sp-202 sampler
  • kawai q-80 sequencer
  • ibanez performance accoustic guitar
  • technics turntable (no not a flash one either)
  • jvc stereo reciever and amp
  • monitors that i found on the side of the road
  • cool edit pro
  • the free taureg
  • a whole bunch of old-skool $2 records, and some more expensive ones too

here's me wish list:

  • compressor (whats a good brand? I was think beringher)
  • reverb/effects unit (zoom? yamaha?)
  • delay pedal (the boss one...)
  • rackmount sampler (akai s3000?)
  • 24 or 32 channel mixing desk
  • a new computer and/or soundcard
  • korg ms2000
  • korg rhythym or sampling electribe
  • roland dr-202 if i can find one, it looks crap but it's fun live...
  • a midi controller like the keyfax phatboy
  • more records, for listening not sampling...

by the way, my email is [email protected]
