About Me |
|
| WHAT WE SAY There are 2 of us, Ian Stanley (aka Mono) and Matt Scott that make up M.I. Loki. We're based up in the heady, band infested den of speed garage and no good clubs that is Sheffield and we make beats, breaks, and bass. No good story begins without a quick synopsis; we met on a hazy night in 1995, at Wild Times in Cambridge, though it wasn't until 2005 and a move to Sheffield that we began making tracks together. It began with a bootleg of Come Together by the Beatles, and continued with a joint love for sampling Zoolander, mini guns, Bill Duke and all things Chevy Chase. Some may say our music has never really evolved from there, but they probably listen to electro trash music and wear skinny jeans. Having experimented with hip hop, house, DnB, and whatever else that we could place a beat underneath, it became apparent that the laws of breakbeat, or rather the lack of them, would allow us to bring all of our musical tastes to one table. Influenced more by the early days of the "breaks" genre where breakbeats were alive and reigned supreme, it took us by surprise to find much of the current crop of music quite rigid in both formula and sounds. As a result of this swing within the scene away from where we wanted to take our music, we set up Tricksta Recordings in May 2006. Since then we have developed and evolved our sound, playing with everything from a more organic sounding style of breakbeat music to dub influenced bleeps and squeaks. We plan to continue taking the label and our music to places we want to go, un-dictated by outside influence. SOME PLAIN OLD FACTS Tricksta tracks are available through: iTunes, Beatport, Trackitdown, DJ Download and Streetwise Digital to name but a few. For any of you wanting to find out about us or the label, don't hesitate to send us weird and wonderful messages right here through this page. After all, that's what this whole lark is about.
