'Raiden has a background in music that combines tonal savagery and intricate grooves; hist first public outings in the world of music were fronting a hardcore band in 94. Always a man on the look-out for new ideas, someone played him some No U-turn tunes in 97, and suddenly everything changed, the bass was exchanged for the complex depths of Logic Audio, and the sound that defines him began to coalesce.
A year of careful listening and research, a small tour of German squat-party venues and then, in 98, he leapt straight into the relentless production schedule that is another one of his trademarks. Getting DJ slots by playing d&b set at open-minded techno nights, he found he loved the timbres of techno and trance, but couldnt shake his passion for a rolling brake. He resolved to melt the two into a sound that growls like a crack-crazed pitbull, before sinking in his teeth with a grip that locks on and never lets go.
He studied at the I.M.T. in London for a year, and this led to a work placement at Airtight Studios, where he met DJ New Balance and DJ Friction, and began writing tunes for their label Transparent. The first of these was Cenobyte ep, released at the end of 2k2 and played by such luminaries as Trace, Bad Company, Kemal, Keaton, Technical Itch, Mampi Swift, Friction and Usual Suspects. More gigs followed in places such as france and the UK, USA, Germany, Belgium and HOlland. Then Renegade Hardware came knocking early in mid 2k2. His debut release Fallin became a massive tune, being voted no.18 in the best tune awards of 2002 by muzik magazine. More epic cuts are planned for 2003 including Hardware and transparent ep's.
Raidens ideal is progressive music with a beginning, middle and end, but retaining the off-key hooks, the ability to shock. The end result sounds a little (but not quite) like Stay Up Forever remixing No U-Turn (or vice versa); heavy rolling tech-step breaks, vicious synth head noises, and basslines that you could mistake for seismic events. His ascent though the scene has been an unprecendented success, this rise is far from over, you have been warned!'
