1984: release of the second single ‘AWOL’ band AWOL. As well as graduating high school and entering University in Connecticut, studies which did not last a year.
1984: the first experience of DJ-ing: the game in the club new York from 3 to 5 am when everyone’s drunk and asleep! A great experience for me. Ah, the memories … I lived in Darien until mid-1985. In 1986 he moved to Greenwich, Connecticut. By the way, lived next door to mom and George Bush. Very strange. I lived in the woods in a trailer on wheels, which I kindly provided one. Then Connecticut in 1988, lived on the floor of an abandoned factory, with no amenities at all.
It was illegal, but I would have liked. In my “home” cockroaches have reached the size of a Chihuahua. I could hear them running around. Disgusting. But I kind of liked. In 1987 I began to send demo version of their creations in a recording Studio NYC. 2 years of continuous failures.
1989: finally NYC showed the slightest interest in Instinct Records. In the same year I moved to new York, in a dark and dirty apartment on 14th street opposite a Mexican restaurant and a sex shop. New York definitely changed me. The release of my first single ‘Time’s Up’ , sales have reached as much as 8 copies! at this time moonlighting as a DJ in clubs: Mars, Palladium, MK, Palace de Beaute, etc. e-my First performance took place in the summer of 1990 in MK.
1990. I’m in costume. Very nervous. My second e-show at Palladium in the fall of 1990, 5,000 people. All went well, but nerve cells have been irretrievably lost. Sold more than 2000 copies of the singles. Honestly, I was shocked. Thought buy a maximum of 100 records. The release of third single ‘Voodoo Child’ took place in the winter of 1991, sold around 4,000 copies. Life began to settle down. Fourth single release ‘Go’ – spring 1991. Was hoping to sell 4,000 copies.
Sales reached one million! I even appeared on the pages of Rolling Stone as the Creator of the best singles of today. Just imagine how I was surprised. Started crazy times, the rave was on the rise. This time I managed to travel around Europe..
1992: first tour of America, was homesick, was absent for 6 long weeks.
1992: terminated the contract with Instinct and bound him with Elektra records and Mute Records. In 1993, I’m going to tour America with the Prodigy and Richie Hawtin. Much more fun than the first time.
1993: release of the single ‘Move’, which becomes the third among the top 40 songs in the UK. Unexpected success for a guy from Connecticut.
1994: the third tour of America with Orbital and Aphex Twin. Yes, quite sad happened tour. All hated me. Sad, because I loved them. Oh Yes, what I’m saying?
1995: finally released my first full length album ‘Everything is Wrong’, which became album of the year by Spin. this year I also toured with Lollapalooza and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, by the way, according to the same Spin the single ‘Everytime You Touch Me’ was voted the best in 1995. It was a great year, and then … then the dark…
1996: I began to suffer from sudden bouts of panic disorder, worked on “Animal Rights’; I really liked it, but apparently only to me. After the relative success of ‘Everything is Wrong’, I was bombarded by criticism and low sales of ‘Animal Rights’ – all this causes depression. But I still love this album, thanks to record companies who gave me to record it. Among other things my mother put a terrible diagnosis, and she suddenly dies from lung cancer.
1997: stopped touring and started writing music for films, remember the single to James bond? 8th place in the chart top 40 songs in the UK. Some relief after the fiasco of the previous work. May 1999: the entry ‘Play’ several months waiting for the contract with a new recording Studio, finally signing with V2 Records. We were hoping to sell 250 000 copies worldwide, and imagine our surprise when we sold a total of 10 million! ‘Play’ has set a record in all the countries broke platinum sales of 25 or 26 (!) time. I still don’t understand how this could all happen.
