While in high school, I bought many 2nd handed CDs at thrift stores, then I came to love dance music, especially the 90's. In 2006, My intersts of computers turned into music production. Since my college days, I have been involved in a wide variety of musical activities, including software development and repair of audio equipment.
After a short hiatus, In 2023, the studio was redesigned and the DNnX project was launched. My spirit of exploration knows no bounds.
As An Artist
DNnX focuses on three eras: the 1990s, the 2000s, and the present day, with aliases for each era.
It closely follows the evolution of computers and the changes in music culture that have followed,
and produces music using equipment and methods appropriate to the era.
1990s
Digital with Whiff of analog
The DN9X creates a true living 90s sound in the modern era utilizing analog synthesizers, early lo-fi digital synthesizers and effectors, and all legacy equipment such as tape and DAT.
Year 2000
Enter to the plugin era
DN2K uses software and hardware digital synths that began to be used in the 2000s, as well as digital mastering processors and preamps that were popular at the time to produce music.
Now and Future
Breaking the limit
DN2X pushes the limits of sound creation by combining an advanced digital production environment made possible by three linked computers with a modern, high-fidelity analog processor.
As A DJ
I have been DJing since 2010, starting his career with CDJs, but now plays mostly vinyl,
and loves the transitional sounds of techno, trance, and breakbeats from the early to mid 90s,
and incorporates a wide range of genres derived from them into his playing.
If the genre interests him, I buy as many CDs and records he sees in the store as his wallet will allow,
and this leads to a wide selection of music that covers everything from underground to anthems.
| Media | Genre |
|---|---|
| Vinyl | (90s) Techno, Trance, Rave, Hard Trance, Gabber, Happy Hardcore |
| CD / Digital | All of the above, Goa Trance, Psy Trance, Mod / Tracker Music |
| Cassette Tape | All of the above |
As An Engineer
Sharpening my senses, believing that further understanding and practice will lead to richer creation.
