The result was the first album, 1997’s Southern Star featuring the Latin drum and bass tune ‘Maine’.

1. As a young primary school boy, Shinra first started his audio experiments on his trusty Amiga 600 computer, producing goodness knows what with OCTAmed 4 software.

Since then, Shinra has been banging out crazy tunes on his laptop like nobody's business.
