well basically i was a fan of jackin house before dubstep hence the Jak and the Tron part came from the robotic sounds/bass e.g Datsik or Excision of which i am big fans of. Then i just addead a random 'a' in the middle to bring it all together.

I remember being on the bus to school years ago and basically my "friends" on that bus told me to fuck off because all I did was listen to music whilst on there, while all the others were talking to each other (probably about the sexline, bewbs and arse).
I felt exiled in a way, but it was a good thing as I left those dickheads behind and found friends who are fantastic.
And the "Wr" bit is because I feel like a wreck a great deal of the time. So, to summarize....

Exile + Wrecked = Wrexile :e:
Debut album "Bass, Space, Pace & Peace" out now on Methodology Recordings!
Cheers to all supporters and those who've dropped tracks in their shows!! :e:

Wow I'm loosing my post virginity to this topic...

I came up with the name 'ADHDJS' as I apparently have mild ADHD. it started as a group of 'djs' to form and so we played with the words to form - ADHDJS


Some how I feel I should of lost the virginity in a much more complex and 'longer-post' way

i'm caring my name a long time.

i started to dj as i was 12 years old. i used to play in the youth club of my region, mostly i played 11 to 12 (the last hour). however i was payed for playing about 10 £ :D
so, when we get the money, after playing we had to sign a paper to aproove that. i was signing like M.D....... so my initiales where really huge on the paper. the worker there began to talk things like: allright, the only thing we need to go home is Big M D on this paper......

And this is it, all my friends began to call me Big MD-

I got my name from the Isie Comosie tune " Young Steppers " the " Dr. " part comes from the scientific application of mathematics and space and time in the mixing of records.. ( I use to do lots of acid )... LOL...And as they say, the rest is history...

Did that, got busted, most people knew me only by PERK at the time...someone was singing a song and fit my name in saying "perk a lerk"...and that stuck. yrs later and here i am. Lady Perk/Perkalerk....owner and founder of Perk Recordings (003 dropping june 1st! thread here: http://www.dubstepforum.com/south-bound ... 44525.html ) and running Perk Productions. :D

I've changed name a few times in the past, as it's nice to have something that you feel reflects your current self if i'm making sense.
So when tracklisting you tunes, should i label them as Introspectionist tunes?
i got stuck on that
