Anima
Anima was born and bred in south west London. He first got into Drum & Bass after listening to a classic piece of Jungle back in 1995 called, Wishing on a Star, produced by 88.3 and Lisa May. After that first taste he decided that Jungle was the vibe for him and became devoted to the scene, then set about buying old tape packs and e.p's from the likes of Miami, Ibiza, Two Bad Mice, Ruffage Kru and many other heavyweight producers at the time. Since then he has witnessed the Jungle scene spread and evolve into the sounds you hear today. Many, "offspring’s" have sprung up since the 1998 Jungle explosion and at the moment he is feeling the darker deeper sounds of Drum & Bass, but still cannot resist a deep rolling analogue Jungle tune.
He draws influences from the people he has met and the experiences he has had. He does not like to think Drum & Bass should have a certain sound or vibe and hates the fact that most heavyweight producers are basically saying, “This is what Drum & Bass should sound like". He does not compare his sound to anyone else's and likes to think his sound is unique and different, " I try not to let myself get pinned down to a certain "style" of Drum & Bass. I try to be diverse in my productions, but at the same time keeping my sound recognizable to who I am.".
He founded, Padded Room Recordings in 2006, to release his own tunes and cut out the, "thieving middle man". The label it self is dedicated to bringing the more deeper and thoughtful sound to the Drum and Bass scene.
