Before he started exploring the world of hardware devices in the studio, Mullinix initially produced his music using tracker software. While these practices are rarely mutually exclusive, X-Altera represents the most fluid merging of these strains in line with his discovery of Live as his newest production tool of choice. Over the years, there have been two distinct strains to Mullinix’s sound – the linear, groove-oriented hardware jams of his house, techno and acid tracks, and the heady, sample-loaded arrangements of his hip hop and jungle-related output.
