Before making his name as one of Drum and Bass's brightest lights, he developed his appreciation for music by having late night listening sessions as a young un. 'I was always messing about with records from a young age and got hooked and fascinated with it, I couldn't stop playing my parents records which ended up with my breaking the needle on the record player. Naturally i was banned from using it again, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. would sneak up out of bed at night to listen to pirate stations and play records at a really low level..naturally, so they couldn't hear it. It was daring and fun and led to me falling in love with music. One of the best times in my life. The Drum and Bass route came about after countless nights messing with Hardcore. I started by going to a local youth center where they allowed us to mess around with decks and samplers. I loved it a lot and got permission from the guy running the place to come in on my own to put together a few ideas I had. That idea turned out to be Eternity...my first track. the engineer was so impressed, he suggested taking it to a label. The label was Vinyl Solution and the rest as they say is history.' With musical influences ranging from the sublime Motown sound of Stevie wonder, George Benson to hip hop legend Dr. Dre and Pink Floyd, subject 13 learned to appreciate the sounds emitting from the boombox. With his first love being music, he sought about creating an identity for himself. One that would not only see him stand out from his peers, but would also set him apart as a man of stounch principles and ideology. The man behind the name explains... 'The name means freedom for all. Subject is how the government see us, but we should be free people. We are tagged, tracked and programmed through credit cards and National Insurance numbers, so I chose the number 13 to signify change, freedom and rebellion. Seen as bad luck for some, I turned it around to be used and perceived as a positive. It's a constant reminder never to lose focus, to never forget who I am. I Was always going to have that name. 'I love diverse forms of music and will always have my own labels to reflect that. I love tracks with or without vocals, so long as they're good and move me. I'd like to think five years from now, I would have built enough of a platform and gained enough respect within the community to take a step back and chill out a bit. If i get the time that would great but for now its onwards like a frontline soldier, i dont give a dam about being on top as thats fake bullshit, its about being in the game for the long run and for the right reasons, i'm a m^**:*ing rebel for life, so to all you fake ass djs and labels fronting like your god, heres my fucking middle finger, real muzic for real headz. |
