Airaites

Was a teen in the 80's and caught the last wave of true underground/alternative musuc beofe it all went college band MTV/pop narrow crap everywhere.
I was fortunate enough to have caught Club Dof, North London in mid-80s before they evolved into Megadog, the first crew to be given a dance tent at glastonbury and that awful T in the Park, and they specialized in being a platform for live bands like The Orb, Underworld, Orbital, Eat Static, System 7, and so on.
got more into electronic stuff by mid to late 90s, and especially loved going to Pure at Glasgow Barrowlands.
Enjoying the monthly Andrew Weatherall/Sean Johnsston nights IN Glasgow
Living in edinburgh trying to learn more about electronic music making without trying to dissapear behind how everyone else sounds, or fall into a generic scene vibe.

my electronis stuff sounds a bit hard-trance (nothing to do with that fizzy pop lightweight pretender crap u get in Ibiza), with Acid-techno, to Hard Acid feels, and slowly learning Pytrance FX techniques to lay over it.
Has a hard punky sound, uses multiple drum machines for polyrhythmic effect.
generally has a rockin/punky edge, ska/rockabilly off-beats, hard city/urban industrial feel, and pretty daft!

hoping those with a taste for the psychedelic, alternative, from teens to oldies, the sqatter scene, free party/festival scene might see the potential growing

I occasionally do support work for mental health, and drugs peer education/hard reduction.
