Hailing from South Wales’ very own “Motor City”, Bridgend; Chris Poacher has long been heavily influenced by Kraftwerk, Orbital, Warp Records and the halcyon days of hypnotic grooves. His first steps into producing electronic music were way back in 1989 (starting out on an Amiga!), re-mixing and producing protracker demos for cracking groups. What started out as a bit of fun, soon became an obsession as he found himself trawling car-boot sales the length and breadth of the UK, buying up any 2nd hand pro-equipment he could get his hands on. After producing several hundred demos and having spent most weekends out on the dance floor in places like Bristol’s “Lakota” and Birmingham's “Atomic Jam” in the mid 90's.
