I used to be in a mariachi band, one day the maracas player broke his
wrist and I said to the guys "hey, ive got this roland 808 thing at
home, maybe that would do the job?" Reluctant to replace Sergio with a
little box, we had no other choice, the gig had to go on. After a few
songs, the band members actually started to enjoy the sounds of the drum
machine. When the function got into the later hours, I decided to put
down my guitar and started jamming on the 808 like it was birthday cake.
Pretty soon I had a turned a wedding into a warehouse techno party; the
bride came up to me and said "I love you, man" so all was good.
After that success with the drum machine I new I could ditch my other
jobs as a male escort and a pamphleteer, the discotheque was calling!
At first, my sound was too radical, I had to tame it like a lion. But
then last year it was like magic, 4 tracks, all so beautifully balanced,
like the four seasons, came together.
The Style was born!
