DESCRIPTION:
Endif draws upon a broad spectrum of experiences and influences and distills them into original sonic compositions incorporating driving percussion, gritty noise theory, precision analogue synth lines, raw vocals, and tightly controlled experimentation.
Twelve years spent applying carcinogenic concepts to various hardware and software based audio tools has led to the marriage of precision editing with mastery of obscure sound mutation techniques. This potent brew is mixed in equal parts with traditional and non-traditional theory, technique, performance, and songwriting skills.
Emphasis is placed more upon energy, emotion, context and texture than on stale commercial formulas, towering arrangements or catchy pop hooks.
The net result has dragged this one-time studio project out of the shadows and into the conciousness of hard-electronic enthusiasts across the planet.
DJ's have found Endif's output highly compatible in both club and radio applications, and new playlists are infected daily.
