This week on the AWEsome Beats show on www.nuskoolbreaks.co.uk (friday 9 till 11pm BST) we've got a great mix from Binster - 30 minutes of his own tunes and those of you that troll the production forum will need no convincing that this is gonna be something special.
I asked the man himself to put some words together explaining what he's all about. This is what he had to say..........
Hello, Binster here. I used to have a beard, but I shaved it off.
..is that enough? Here's some more...
I'm 26 and I work in Reason producing dancey, tuneful electro-melodo-breaks kind of stuff. Based in Cambridge, I pass the time during the day making games for Sony.
I'm influenced by a great number of things. My parents made me listen to Pink Floyd and Neil Diamond when I was too young to protest, so I've developed a deep subconscious yearning for prog and croon.
More contemporary influences include yer breakbeat darlings (Evil Nine, Stanton Warriors, the Plumps, Ils), noodley melodics stuff (Way out West, Ulrich Schnauss, The Album Leaf), non-electronic stuff (Kings of Convenience, Mansun, Maximo Park), and retro computer game stuff (love that SID chip ).
I'm currently working on an album, which is getting scarily close to being finished. So far, I've not had anything signed, but I've had interest from here and there.
Anyway, I've said enough. Hope you enjoy the mix as much as I've enjoyed making the tunes.
Binster
