He played geeky lives for years, hiding behind his computer screen, clicking with his mouse at almost speed of light (the fluctuations created this way were maybe a possible cause for his famous "black holes" during parties, alcohol being another non-negligible factor)

Crystal Distortion

Crystal Distortion is about change: A human 'by product' of electronic culture - born in London - he saw fit to re-align virtuous components of modern dance e.g. the rhythms of hip hop, breaks, techno etc, with neo- apocalyptic visions as portrayed in such cult milestones as 'Akira', ‘2000 AD', ‘Tetsuo', and more recently, the story of the 'Matrix'. The result is a form of musical expression treading on the tightrope between sonic excess and universal love. The next years were spent sowing the seeds for a better musical future for all our children.
