AMIGA BREAKS/FUZZBUZZ Interview + Guest Mix for Strictly NuSkool Blog

- Hello Timo! First of all I'd like to introduce yourself to Strictly NuSkool Blog fans, and tell me few things about you and your project, when did you first start making music and what inspired you to catch up with it

I first started messing around with music in 1990 with an Amiga 500, it was such a rush to hear breakbeats, bass, pads and pianos coming out of an Amiga 500, from there i moved onto the Amiga 1200 and created in OctaMED until 2002 when i moved onto a Mac.
I would have continued with the Amiga but i found Renoise for the Mac, which is very similar to OctaMED. It was nice to have the 16 bit sound and more than 4 channels.
Mainly i was writing hardcore, happy hardcore and downtempo breaks, when hardcore went away and it was only happy hardcore I countinued to create tracks with the oldskool sound and when i found out about the hardcore breaks scene I jumped onto the bandwagon in 2006. It was around this time that I had to moved to Japan and it became harder to follow the scene in the UK. 


- Checking your Soundcloud page & your website, can someone see a variety of genres on your productions, such as future jungle, hardcore breaks, oldskool hardcore. Tell me few things about your productions and which genre is your fav one

I like to experiment with different styles, back when i was doing my production on the Amiga I did house, garage, drum & bass, jungle, hardcore, happy hardcore and downtempo. When I moved onto the Mac I steered more towards the hardcore breaks sound and drum & bass, however over the last few years I have been doing some 80s style tracks.
I would have to say that the oldskool hardcore sound is my favourite but it changes depending on my mood.
