                                                                                           thanks for all the acid 

 

I was only in my earliest teenage years after Drukqs came and it changed my whole view of music and electronics in general. 
I literally started to became interested in electronic inventions after hearing it. 

Back then I only listen to HipHop. I was a graffiti writer so I hang out with them and some b-boys and drug users. 
One of my friends at the home party gave me the Drukqs CD to listen to. And back home I was totally blown away.. 
I did research and his aliases and so much music in different flavor was everywhere suddenly and I thought he was some kind of Electronic music giant that was superior of everyone and everything in the music scene. 

Under that time of the teen years your emotions are much stronger to stuff ofc.. I find out more about different artists like Ae, BoC, Squarepusher etc... 
But Aphex Twin stood out for sure. Then Analord came and that was the time I was even more blown away! 

I got tons of sad stories which his music has helped me alot to keep pushing and want to continue. Even with darkest thoughts of ending it all I was too touched of music and curiosity so I couldn't do it.. I want to explore, listen and hearing this music over and over again.. Still to this day I can easily pick upp a hand full of Aphex tracks to have on loop all days long!
Then I feel home and safe in myself. Like I'm a part of this music.. Maybe we are a cult? lol 

Peace! Thank u RDJ!

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with my life before I heard aphex for the first time two decades ago. Today I make my own oscillators in Reaktor.

had the most amazing weekend lisbon and bristol had incredible sound, raved my ass off. i'm gonna go over the bristol show and find that chest shaking bass track that was the heaviest i've ever experienced, shook the flim loose, ha:)

 

met up with @cruising for burgers and raved and talked before and after. gave me a car ride to the airport and put on blackbox ep for the journey, magic:)

 

@Mattthegoone the LEGEND!! got me a tape at bristol (THANKS!) cause i didn't show up until 19:40 with gates closing at 20:00. didn't catch up with him until the aphex afters with vibert. that was a fun night:)

 

i remember luke vibert also playing synthacon 9, got real excited hearing it twice within a couple of hours. i don't know if he would've known aphex only just played it at forwards. they know each other so well maybe they were on the same frequency

 

best summer of me life

 

just noticed the center writing is back since i stopped writing in the middle but i'll not use it except in special occasions, ha:)

I can't show people electronic music. It's not real music to them. I feel alone sometimes in that way. Not that it's the only genre I like, but I keep it to myself for the most part. 

[matureraver]

my afx journey started when i was 4, i first heard i care because you do from my dad. i remember hearing the beginning of acrid avid in his car super vividly. we continued listening to that drukqs, come to daddy and windowlicker. we used to watch the rubber johnny video every night because i loved the track and the creepy video as a little kid ( i still do lol). about 4 years ago i went in super deep getting into richards discog. i started to discover caustic window and all the alia’s. i had already been a musician but richard made me want to make electronic music, so i started doing it. i went through some tough stuff and richard has been there for me through all of it. he practically saved + changed my life forever. now 4 years later i have loads of gear and have made 1,700 songs and released 11 or so records. i also have 2 record labels with coming up on 100 releases. i’m only 17 years old and seems like i have an eternity in front of me. hopefully my story didn’t get to deep, richard is just a huge hand in my life. ‘PS i’m not gonna pay 250 fucking P for this record but i love the songs so i might if i don’t get this one lolol’

i make electronic music under the name ‘Reservior…’ available on all streaming services

Just wondering - did you mean to misspell 'Reservoir' or is it really 'Reservior'?
