<p>my name is Dan West and I go by the musical moniker "Gravity Cafe" <br />- <br />i've been attempting to make some music over the years as a <br />producer/composer/instrumentalist... I just bang on all the things in my room with strings and buttons and lights and speakers and hope some decent sounds come out <br />- <br />residing in the Oakland, CA area....plays guitars, bass, keyboards and composes everything from drum and bass/jungle, to hip-hop/trip-hop, electronica, house (once in a blue moon), idm, electro, breakbeats, acid-jazz, funk <br />- <br />most everything i write is with an old-skool hip-hop sensibility and influence, since that is what i grew up on (even tho you'd prolly be hard-pressed to hear it) but my music draws heavily from influences such as MMW, the Prodigy, Amon Tobin, Roni Size, Squarepusher, Pressure Drop, Massive Attack, among many others</p>
