Artist Biography
Orillasound produces an edgy dance sound derived from an early rave music lifestyle.

I am obsessed with dance music, it really got going when i started going to acid, techno, house and hardcore events in the early 90's sometimes with Double Vision whom produced videos for the likes of Ultrasonic, Praga Khan, Rezerection, Fubar and the Metro. Paul, the main man of Double Vision would ask me to come and give him a hand lugging video equipment around setting up cameras, meeting the crews, getting backstage etc. Later on when the hardcore events seem to die down, i was given the opportunity to work abroad........

I enjoyed working in the canary isles there but the party lifestyle was too appealing, the beach parties, the hill parties, house parties in workmates apartments, and on top of all that the nightlife right around the south coast of Gran Canaria, This changed my outlook on dance music, now it was all about blissful house beats at sunset then energising progressive house and trance throughout the night.

I got a pair of cd decks and a mixer for my birthday a few years later, this was my chance to express myself by throwing out those chunky beats, took a while to get used to them, i have had a go of cd decks when I was in the Canaries but now i had my own i was addicted and spent more less every spare penny i had on new CD's to mix with.

Now ive moved on using professional software and keyboards to make my own beats which is something i always said i would do one day.........
