How did you get into the scene and what groups have you been a member of ?
We got dragged into it, I recon. We just enjoyed ourselves making unique demos and people started to like our work. We never realised we were exiting people before we went to a computer exhibition in the UK. People went mad!

Jesus wat een klote-vraag. (That's Dutch for 'Jesus, our awe-some coding)
What would you like to be remembered for ?
For RED, from The Judges ?!
What made you stop the scene activity ? (and do you remember when?)
I got busted in the UK when I stole two discs from The Edge. They owed me quite a bit of money and they were not going to pay me. I thought I needed some stuff to motivate (read black-mail) them, but the director went totally bananas. He engaged the whole policesquad of London to find me in the crowd of the fair. Eventually they found me and fortunately they didn't press charges. I got away and got payed, but I never got work to provide music again :-(
