From the late 90s to late 2000s you were also doing almost too many things to count, like forming Indopepsychics, playing outdoor parties in Japan, performing overseas, introducing field recording, and launching Final Drop.

Definitely. Indope started in the mid-90s as some beatmaking experiments using sampled music with D.O.I. before he became an engineer and Nik, who I met at Tower Records. Then, as a result of focusing more and more on style, format, sounds, textures, and technology, we started veering towards audio and things like field recording. That was also around when my interest shifted from the entertainment aspects of music to sound and artistic expression, which, when I think about it, was a pretty natural progression.
