Biografía
- For the last 20 years 69db and fellow jam partners from the SP23 family have been developing a style that fuses live improvisation with electronic music and programming. The result is an electronic dance music that takes it's structure from people like..At the age of 17 69db left his home on the west coast of Scotland and moved to London to play drums for his psychedelic rock band “x-effect”. The year was 1988 and this was the year that Acid House took the country by force. A whole generation changed overnight! After 2 years of discovery in and around the many parties 69db , being a drummer, saw the potential in this repetitive beat. At the same time as joining Spiral Tribe Sound System 69db enrolled in City of Leeds Collage of Music where he got his 1st access to a recording studio. It was here that he composed his first tracks for Spiral Tribe. Over the 90’s along with Spiral and its sub labels Network 23 and Stormcore 69db has worked under names such as SP23, R-ZAC and Liveset Dub.He has worked also on many labels i.e. Butterfly records,Big Life, Drop Bass Network, Force inc. ,Rabbit City , Trax Records Chicago,, UWe, Labworks , Acid Orange and Expressillon. Music is an universal language .... 69db’s music literally grew up on the sound systems of the 1990’s. He has played consistently in the European underground , installing his live on party after party for now close on 25 years. It is from this background that his love and need for improvisation has been established. With Spiral Tribe 69db has been involved in sowing the seeds that led to the now massive Teknival scene which has been an important underground institution in Europe. 69db has always been happy to play all kinds of situations from Festivals, to clubs, from illegal free parties in Warehouses or out in the countryside. As an improviser every situation is treated as a unique experience. Understanding that even the best surfer can’t do anything without the wave the 69db live experience is all about connecting to the moment and riding the wave. 69db is currently reunited with the SP23 crew which comprises artists, musicians and organisers from the original Spiral Tribe Sound System. The crew are, as well as releasing music and video , currently involved with organising events such as a 5 day meditation techno experience, skill sharing events and of course rave parties!! Where EDM has become the current expression of rave music as POP, 69db stands where rave music meets JAZZ. “It is open mindedness that can bring about fusion and it is only fusion that can bring about togetherness...”̸Forward The Revolution, Big Life, 1992 SP23, Rabbit City, 1992 Digital Acid, Force Inc, 1994 Labworks 67, Labworks,1995 Le Fuck Techno Import Mix, 69DB,1996 Liveset Dub 1 and 2, Network23, 1996 69DB001, Network23, 1996 R-ZAC, Drop Bass Network, 1996 Fuck Le Pen, 69DB, 1996 KGB 1 ,2, 5,6, KGB Records, 1997-98 Fuck The Label, 69DB, 1998 Forbidden Fromage, Anti Cheese Alliance, 1996 Cycle Shit, 69DB, 1997 Lady Die Mix, 69DB, 1997 Skunk Mix, 69DB, 1996 No Respect To K Mix, 69DB, 2000 In Dub Technic, Expressillon, 1999 Dragon Dub, Expressillon, 2002 Bedroom Mixes From The Soul, Expressillon, 2003 Spiral Trax, Trax Records Chicago, 2002 69DB & MC Tabloid / Crystal Distortion, Untitled, Trax Records Chicago, 2002 Freestylin´ (With Tablloyd), Expressillon, 2001 Chip Jockey, Expressillon, 2005 Stormcore 1,2,3, Network 23,1997 Herb N Technology, Expressillon, 1999 New Weather, Expressillon 2004 Fly Thai Mix, 69db, 2000 Armchair Escapism dvd, 69DB, 2004 R-ZAC Studio 23, Expressillon, 2006 Live At Skywalk Festival Japan, 69DB, 2015 Dharma Techno 1,2,3,4, 69DB, 2015-16 Improvised Beats 1, Toolbox Records, 2016 Studio 23 Reloaded, Toolbox Records, 2016
