I am ProjektOne, a Colchester based Bass heavy music DJ/producer. I have been DJing Drum and Bass since the age of 20 and also include a little bit of dubstep DJing to my bow (although my first love is Drum and Bass). Under my previous moniker of Mr Rayner I have appeared on the line up with some big names in the industry, such as Bassline Smith, Drumsound, Shy FX, Nicky Blackmarket, J Majik among others. I have really got my teeth into electronic music production over the last 2 or so years, even though I kinda experimented with it previously. I have a very varied music taste, and I hope this reflects in my music. I feel the best artists are the ones who listen to a wide selection of music as it gives you a bigger pool of resources to gain inspiration from. I tend to make music I like to hear, so if anyone else enjoys my creations that is fantastic. I endeavour not to pigeon-hole my tunes into any specific genre, because it then creates boundaries and limitations to the music I create. I would like to list a some of my influences to me here:
Icicle
Data
Benga
Ritchie Hawtin
Luke Vibert
Squarepusher
Dr Dre
Lee 'Scratch' Perry
Spectrasoul
Wu Tang Clan/RZA
Amon Tobin
Kanye West
Rockwell
Skream
Spirit
Noisia
Spor/Feed Me
Trentemoller
Digital Mystikz
This is not by any means a complete list, but more to give you an idea of what my stuff may sound like. I hope you enjoy some of my music and if you do, tell your friends about me.
Spread the word, spread the love.
Peace
