User History:
Joined this shitty site during V2 back when it was halfway decent & had a community when there wasn't such a fascist management-although at the time the corruption existed just not nearly to the extent that it is these days.
I joined with the intent to contribute information & to give back I also came with an ego (spamming) & possibly trolling which ultimately got me permanently banned from the forums (& even recent day voting "rights") by management ever since I joined.
I'm known as one of the users with the biggest wantlist using the wantlist as a way to cross reference good artists & labels, but had taken it too far before noticing the watchlist feature. I was never completely serious about the literal purpose of the wantlist.
I've recently began to really contribute since 2008 only because I've had more time to do so, but I'm not nearly as enthusiastic about it as I used to be with the events that have lead to how the site is these days. I still contribute for the same reasons, but somewhat regret doing so as I'm trying to improve something that I had stopped believing in.
I'm using this site & my contributions as a way to benefit a better music database site built by ex/users from this site. I'm not an active member at that site, but will be once I'm done here as this site will soon become completely inferior & obsolete if it isn't already.
As an active contributor my strengths are in grouping & correcting artists & labels as well as correcting flawed entries. I mostly submit MP3 releases as digital music is undeniably growing rapidly at an alarming rate.

Misc.
Archive - A free web hosting site.
All Music - An alternative to Discogs for musical information that is mostly directed towards other styles besides electronic music. Much more in depth than Discogs IMHO when it comes to biographies.
Anime Lyrics - Being that Discogs is a music database and I loving Japanese anime as well as its music, I figured why not put this link?! This is nice site for my own self reference of my favorite Japanime tunes from my favorite Japanime shows. The site also has lyrics from video games!
Lucy Pringle - An awesome link from Lucy Pringle that has a huge Crop Circle Photograph Library.

Punk'd (Capria's Habitat Mix) - Sander Van Doorn (10:26) February 2006: Progressive Breakbeat House 135 BPM
Produced by Sander Ketelaars.
This is my take on SVD's track Punk'd for the recent Pimp My Track remix competition that is sponsored at Sanders' website www.sandervandoorn.com/. I uploaded and recieved only 4 wave files from the site (which I'm sure is the proper amount of files that were supposed to be given). Edited the waves in Steinberg's WaveLab 4.0 and transferred the waves as samples into SF's ACID Pro 4.0. I initially thought that I would be recieving a complete mixdown version of Punk'd, but apparently wasn't the situation. Not nearly as much to work with in comparison to a completed track, but was enough to create an amazingly groovy track that sounds like a cross between the tracks Eclectica - O'Spectra (Original Mix) (Black) & Paranoid Jack - Good Luv (Stickman Records) (It's also great as a transition record between the two!). My remix didn't win the competition, but it will still be heard later this year. The remixes by the competitions winners has recently been released Punk'd (Pimp My Track Remixes). Massive thanks to the Platipus Records Message Board and fellow Platipus Records Message Board friend mystacool for informing me about the competition/remix or I wouldn't have even entered.

Music background info:
Information about my own musical interest styles are: Electronic: Acid, Ambient, Breaks, Downtempo, Electro, House, Prog House/Trance, Psy Trance, Tech House, Techno, & Trance (wish I had more Jungle, Drum & Bass, & Experimental). New Wave: New Order, The Cars, A-Ha, When In Rome, Pet Shop Boys, The Pretenders, The Cure, Blondie, Animotion, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, RHCP, and Anything Box. Rock: Tool, A Perfect Circle, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deftones, Led Zeplin, and Pink Floyd. Hip-Hop (Conscious): Moka Only, Wu-Tang Clan, Canibus, Swollen Members, MF Doom, Danger Mouse, etc. I also listen to some oldies daily at Kola 99.9. I have been listening to music since 5 years of age mostly to Italo/European Dance at that time. Currently my musical tastes are eclectic while also being strict on whether the music is of only of high quality production.
I've been listening to quality electronic music since 2000, collecting records since the Summer of 2002, and producing on Sonic Foundry's ACID Pro since April of 2004 & Steinberg's Nuendo since February 2006. I have 45 tracks (5 albums) that are completed, mastered, & copyrighted that will further be released to numerous labels as well as on my own label [-Ekidna Digital-] in the future! I recently have 348 records in my Odyssey CLP200P & KLT070 Clear boxes and 106 in CDs.
Malaysia-A previous production alias of mine it's where I was born. Ironically enough I'm not of malaysian decent nor did I want my sound to really be limited, stereotyped, or associated as just malaysian hence choosing a more universal name. Music reminds me of my roots and to not take music and life in general for granted. No respect in selling out because there's more to music than just money the music itself is what represents the individual who created it.
