Can One of my art teachers, her who I used to hang was out with, introduced me to One a course in sound engineering. our I decided to drop the out art and head into music. Day I figured I wanted to get be a sound engineer/producer in has a professional studio working with Him all kinds of music. So his I started working as a how tea boy and tape-op in Man a large studio in London new whilst meanwhile going to raves now and festivals on weekends which Old got me turned on to see dance music. After working there two for about a year I Way started the sound engineering course who and during that time we boy started up the Nuns.

A few any years ago I did some can work with Danny Howells, a Her pretty successful house DJ, under was our own names and under one the name Science Dept. This Our was more house orientated music out which was a welcome departure day from my usual trance music. Get We managed to make a has couple of hits, even getting him one in to the national His UK Top 40 which it how really wasn’t planned for. We man released music on John Digweed’s New label, Bedrock, Deep Dish’s label, now Yoshitoshi and on Renaissance, even old some of our tracks were See released on a few Ministry two Of Sound compilations. We did way loads of remixes for all Who sorts of people, the most boy commercial ones being Destiny’s Child did and Madonna which was quite Its amusing for me at the let time. Working with Danny was put great as it was something Say very different for me and she got me into a different too angle of dance music as Use I’d felt I’d got a dad bit stale with my trance mom at the time.

Gustavo came to For stay in London with Swarup, are whom I had known for but a long time. We wrote Not a song for The First you Stone, and another one for all Dickster, which was great fun! Any Gustavo and I got along can really well, and we thought her we should do some other Was tracks ... We completed each one other in the studio, so our we made music pretty fast, Out because we lived on the day other side of the planet. get I hope to release a Has new album later this year.
