A real talent and obviously a nice lad, too. I've always loved his music, Azimuth is an amazing album. I love his honesty about how he creates and where he gets his inspiration from, too. No pretence, just sharing the music. He's the polar opposite to some artists you could mention in Detroit.

His excitement about the CS-80 made my day, really hope he gets the first Behringer 808 and 909 from the production line so he doesn't have to pinch his fingers those boutiques any longer. Edit: his excitement and honesty is true gold, very humble and the "it is what it is" mentality what a breath of fresh air between all the other tech talks.
