Biography of SPL
SPL (aka Sam Pool), originally from Oregon USA, started his career in music by playing drums in his early teens. From this he was instantly hooked on creating music. Unable to ever find a band to join and with a growing thirst for electronic music he tried downloading some simple midi software and began programming beats and melodies on his parents computer in the family room. Inspired by artists such as Photek and Aphex Twin, he was instantly hooked on the idea of composing entire pieces of music from his head. From that point on, it was just a constant quest for more ways to express himself.
Over time SPL got his hands on more software and continued moving forward with his music. Always critical of his sound and never satisfied, things just kept moving forward while he perfected his skill. At the tender age of 15, SPL went to his first rave and was hooked on dance music from there. He began djing in his bedroom and within 6 months began playing regular gigs in the local rave scene spinning anything from techno to drum and bass. He soon found that drum and bass was the only dance music that kept his interest.
After being bitten by the dj bug he started working on producing dance music at home and as music software technology developed he found that he could do everything he needed to to improve his skills on a minimal setup. A few years, and an updated studio later, his music was being noticed on a global scale and after hard work and refining of his own sound he was picked up by Tech Itch Recordings with rmx work and singles due out in 2005. Soon after he caught the attention of Dylan and was invited into the Freak / Anger family as well. From this point onwards, SPL continues to improve his sound - striving to push his own vibe on the drum and bass world. Currently working with artists such as Freak and Tech Itch's own Limewax and side projects with Bill Laswell, audio engineering college in Amsterdam and his own ambient/industrial album in the works, 2005 looks like a strong year for for the young Oregon soldier. With this much achievement at the age of merely 20, the future looks brighter every day for SPL.
