totallywykd Perspective on Bad Apple

Fast paced high energy music producer and sound selecta for the north west of England, currently exploring in the welsh valleys and the beautiful world around me, I am the owner of Unchained Soul Records a grass roots drum and bass label focused on jump up, rollers & neurofunk dnb

Jump up was massive for me growing up you had the likes of DJ Hazard, low down deep, serum, hedex & macky gee all doing crazy different sounds in drum and bass keeping this high energy music that you can't help but bounce to my focus with this was just that keeping a low rolling sub bass and having a wicked bass melody to travel through the track

I have got the say my earliest memory would be when I was really young my mum loved happy hardcore and had a massive collection of music from ministry of sound CDs to unlabeled disks packed with 90's rave music she had gathered the energy she had bouncing around the house throwing ice cream cones and feeding pigeons as dance moves all while getting on with daily chores really shifted a great attitude when it comes to music I often think back to these times when I write music.

I guess I have always had music in my spirit since I can remember I have wanted to play instruments and make as much noise as possible, man I think everyone has heard me in the shower but I think it really hit when I used to catch my uncle MCing with his friends to jungle & drum and bass just going nuts letting loose and having fun not a care in the world bass rumbling through your chest like yeah thats what I want to be doing.

over the past 3 years I have crafted my sound around what has inspired me through my life with the use of some wicked hardware, software and some very cool friends I have worked towards making professional quailty music I can really be proud of.

I would say high energy, deep feeling and meaning. My music is rhythmic and bold.

Honestly and this might sound like pure cheese but letting go has been my most significant lesson, each piece I write released or unreleased I like to put a feeling into it or a moment that is holding me back I feel with the right moment in music can change someone life and it continues to do it everytime I go to play.

I don't really have one driving force but if I could put it down i've had massive amounts of music around me grandad was a rocker and got me listening to the likes of black sabbath, iron maiden and ACDC classic rock stuff, my nan loved her love songs singers like mat gross, take that all that poppy stuff then you had my mum happy hardcore, 90's rave, rap and R&B massive colelctions of CDs I remember the boxes of them just stacked back to back every feeling and emotion covered you want to singer your heart out they was a CD for it want to bang your head and go nuts take your pick I say that the spice of music that keeps me wanting.
