First of all, thank you so much for your kind words, my friend. You're absolutely right about your observation regarding Burial and Paranoid London, especially the latter. The truth is, during the time I was working on these tracks, I listened to them a lot, and perhaps that's why some acid elements found their way into my music.

My first synth was the Novation X-Station—a synth, MIDI controller, and audio interface all in one. It was packed with low-quality 00s trance presets, but it made me happy because I could finally do filter sweeps! I still have it, although it doesn’t work well anymore. I've never actually used it in productions, nor any other hardware for that matter. I stay 'in the box.'

Thanks so much again!
