Splattermonkey is a D.J. and part time sound technician and sometimes remix artist who is obsessed with all things funky. Whether it's Hip Hop, House, Rock, Reggae, Ska, Jazz, Latin, Samba, Bossa, Jungle, Drum and Bass, or even Country it's gotta have elements of Funk and Soul or else he ain't interested. Deep Bass and Live Drum sounds is what he's all about.
"There's something about that old boom cack of an old fashioned kick and snare drum, the deep resonating bass from a djembe, or the hollow pop of a Conga or Bongo drum that keeps me going back to those sounds. Don't get me wrong, I love electronic music, but most of my musical tastes came from my Mother who was a teenager in the 60's so I grew up in the 80's listening to the music of the 60's and 70's. It wasn't until Hip Hop finally leaked into the mainstream with tracks that sampled James Brown, The Honey Drippers, Bob James, Chic and Incredible Bongo Band that I started really listening to and collecting modern music. Before that the only modern music I bought was Metal and Hair Bands Like Metallica and Van Halen."
