Growing up, my dads passion for music and his large collection of vinyl records and hi-fi equipment were a big inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>In the mid to late 1980&#8217;s I was into a lot of Australian rock\/pop music: INXS, Pseudo Echo, The Models, Boom Crash Opera, Noise Works, Crowded House, The Venetians, Flowers\/Icehouse. I was also playing synths\/keyboards in a live band called &#8216;Creatures Of Habbit&#8217; with similar sounds. I was 17 when I played my first live pub\/club gig with &#8216;Creaters Of Habbit&#8217; at the Toucan in Adelaide.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1988-1990 I got into more electronic sounds, dancing to DJs at the Toucan playing stuff like Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure, leading on to the new-beat, hip-house and acid-house sounds, D-Mob, Yazz etc. I was also discovering bands\/groups like Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Pop Will Eat It&#8217;s Self, Jesus Jones, Blur, Ride, Curve, My Bloody Valentine, Bomb The Bass.<\/p>\n<p>More soon&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dave McCann : DAMC : TECHiONE : Bliss I was born in 1971, so in 2006 that pushes me just over the mid 30&#8217;s mark.
