funk began producing music as early as 1992, when he was experimenting with several 'ghetto blasters': i'd use a bunch of ghetto blasters playing all at once to play different sounds i'd recorded with some shitty ghetto blaster. most of my sources i'd get riding around on my bicycle and just listening for interesting sounds. i'd use garbage bins and streetlights and anything else i could find that was hollow or metallic to bang out rhythms on. then i'd set up all the ghettos and record them all playing into that same ghetto blaster. then i'd play a bunch of those tapes all at the same time and record that and so on. then i would do cut-ups or pause-ups of those tapes to create a more startling rhythmic effect. a strange ritual in retrospect.
