erm... well I've released 3 tunes as mr biscuit - mostly political commentary of some sort...
as part of voice of cod I've released on 4 different organic cds, transient, soon to be on liquid , and our tune just a ride was re released on the compilation for Lar Rocka, apparently a big club in Belgium
I've released a tune with chris organic and we're workiing on another soon. also started something a last night with nik from error corrective which i reckon will be snappered up for a million quid by emi

Out of interest how long had you guys been producing before you had anything picked up ?
...and did you just send demo's out to label a&r's when you thought you had stuff worthy of release ?
cheers peeps,

I released my track in 2002, so I reckon I can say I'd produced seriously for a couple of years. Started making music back in 1996 though, with Fast Tracker 2. Fooled around with that for a couple of years and made a shitload of tracks. Slowly progressed from happy hardcore thru rave, dnb and hard trance until I discovered goa trance in 1998.
I then realised that this was the type of music I wanted to do and got right to it. Made a couple of proper goa trance tracks but I soon crossed over to the more psy side of things. Early 1999 I sent out my first demo. I took the two tracks I considered the best and addressed them to Twisted and Flying Rhino.
Flying Rhino sent me an email a few weeks later saying "Thanks for your demo, but for now we have all the music we need" which is the polite way of saying the tracks sucked, I guess. However, I didn't give up and sent a few tracks to an American label called Starchild Recs. They were more positive and as they were in the process of compiling an upcoming compilation, they told me to send my stuff to the guy who was compiling it - Miki Litvak of Domestic/Shidapu
Sent him the tracks and he liked them, but he didn't think they'd fit that particular compilation. For the record, this compilation never got released, as Starchild went bankrupt shortly before it was supposed to come out. Still, I stayed in touch with Miki and kept sending him my tracks for him to review. We also made some tracks together, but none of them was released.
Then in 2001 he had released some tracks on Sphere Recs and told me I should send my tracks there with his recommendation. I did and they picked up the Levitation track (last track I did in the tracker environment). I was in heaven.
The track was released in May 2002 and I still remember the feeling when I was standing there with the CD in hand reading my own name in the booklet. Never made any money from it though. The early promise of an advance later turned into royalties which in turn turned into dust as they had overestimated their expected sale and spent too much money on the production and related things, and were unable to pay any of the artists.
I've uploaded two of the first goa/psytrance tracks I ever did if anyone wants to hear what they sound like... c'mon, you know you want to...
Homegrown Lifeform - Alien Generator (144 BPM psytrance)

To the best of my recollection...
In 1993 I saw an advert in Sound on Sound from a record label asking for trance music. I was writing on my own at the time, in-between doing the sound for computer games, and had only just finished my first ever trance track (inspired by a certain Hardfloor tune). I thought, 'what the heck' and sent it to the label; I couldn't beiieve it when they said they wanted to release it! They asked for some changes which I made to the best of my ability, and around the middle of 1994 they sent me two copies of a CD with my track on it! The CD was 'Hard Trance and Psychedelic Techno' on Phantasm.
It was six months later that Steve, Nigel and I formed OOOD and a few times in the next year I got a phone-call from either John or Simon at Phantasm asking what we were up to. Eventually we had a couple of tracks that we thought were pretty good, and we sent them to both Dragonfly (totally on spec, as they'd recently done Order Odonata and we really liked it) and Phantasm. Dragonfly asked us up to the Butterfly studios (where Steve and I sat in on the T.I.P. session downstairs while they were writing 'Brain Bokka') to mix a track and see what we could do in a proper studio; like a right nonce I declined the offer of an engineer, thinking I could do a better job myself - and made a total hash of it. Well, it was ok, I suppose, but the remix of 'Silence' had none of the vibe of the original track, which Phantasm went on to release (with Cosmic Ripple on the other side) as the first OOOD 12".
It wasn't our first EVER 12" though, as in-between we'd come to know Tim Healey and Yazz (one of the organisers of Pagan with Lol, who both went on to put on the Otherworld parties at the Fridge) and together we'd put together an EP which was released on Wider records under the name Pharmarama in mid-1995. This was the genesis of the Unconscious Collective, and Tim, Steve and I (with a little help from Nigel!) went on to release our Fluorostan EP on Flying Rhino in 1996.
At least, that's how I remember it... :p

I was the house engineer at Butterfly about that time I think.
Phew!
That was close eh Col?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooo...
If you were the engineer then, I think I might actually have met you back then, briefly - although my recollection is of someone smaller than you are now. Hmmmm... did Butterfly ever employ a female engineer?

one track on a v/a last year
another track on a v/a due last year but since seemingly vanished without trace
another track on a v/a due last year, postponed, and out fairly soon. allegedly. i think. maybe. (the guy is in japan so he always hits me up on aim when i'm in bed, and vice versa)
not sure "how long it took before you got signed" means much, it was about a year of making goa/psy, but i've been making downtempo and drumnbass for 6 years without the faintest rumour of release.
