First and foremost, let me introduce myself...My name is ***** aka Mushuto. I currently reside in Austin, Texas, and have done so for the past 8 years...I enjoy windy walks on Town Lake, watching APD chase "cluckers" through my backyard, producing electronic music, and watching Japanese splatter films without subtitles (due to the fact that most dialogue in such films is meaningless, kinda' like a Woody Allen film). All that aside, I am starting this "blog" to cure the boredom that plagues me day to day, and also to somewhat plug my production work and whatever else that might come about. As I said prior, I produce "electronic” music, spanning various genres, from drum and bass to trance, glitch/IDM, gabber, and trip-hop....I stated 8 years ago, mainly performing and producing "big-beat" tracks, which I had some success with two tracks that I released over in Germany, "With Regards, Leland", and "Freezerburn", both of which were picked up by Raw 42 Music UK for TV/Film licensing. From that point on I started producing under the name "Epileptik Cerebral Reaktor", concentrating on "industrial/ambient/gabber".... The majority of tracks that I produced under Epileptik Cerebral Reaktor were never released or even previewed by anyone for that matter, and not due to "embarrassment" but due to other situations that caused life to go into left-field.... While in left-field, production came to a halt, and had to mainly focus on real-life (career, health, relationships, criminal endeavors, drug experimentation, rehab, blah,blah,blah....) A 3 year hiatus ensued, not much memory of that time period, and then experienced what most near-death survivors would call a "moment of clarity".... Back to earth, somewhat..... 2004. I resumed producing tracks under Mushuto, and have since released 10 tracks through Karma Download, a digital music downloading service, based out of the UK.... July of 2004 I was nominated and won "Artist of the Month" and was described as "a D&B wiz from stateside" from the staff of Karma Download.... Future. I am in the process of completing my first release, and starting a label, based solely from Austin, Texas.... Only time will tell what will happen, but for the most part it's all about keepin' positive.... As I close, I would like to give proper respect to the following persons, in no particular order.... Gina Hernandez, for standing by me, caring for me and showing me that there is love, understanding and trust....Thank you. Kan & DC, for critiquing my work and promoting when possible, proper.... Lucien, my dog, for the ability of handling the loud music that she has to contend with on a daily basis....
Until next time.....
