even if he wanted to, p.p. voltron couldn't deny his carribean roots: his djing and production have ever since drawn influences from the heavy basslines of ragga and dub, but today also include references to soul and r'n'b. always in search for those notorious sexy vibes he loves so much, it was an obvious choice to include the more musical side of things.

his open minded approach to dnb allows him to ignore any kind of political or regional choice in what he plays, be it national (meaning the uk as it's where the majority of releases still come from) or international. if the vibe of a tune suits him, he doesn't care about status or origin of the people behind it.

his personal as well as musical development over a decade, combined with talent and an enthusiasm boarding on self destruction, have taught him to read his audience accurately as a dj and keep the dancefloor bubbling all night long.

having grown up and into the music alongside his friends dj toon and mad marshal, it was only a matter of time until the local d'n'b-brand "last twisting jungle warriors", or in short, the ltjw-crew, was founded. the name may be contestant for this week's highest entry into the charts of "well tacky crew names", but once you're christened, it's hard not to stick with it...

drum and bass is the central force in pp voltrons life: not only does he produce music under several different monikers (boogieman collective, twisting lion, ste. luce), he also runs the labels boogieman records (in conjunction with mad marshal and dj toon) and redirect records (in conjunction with rough j), plus his own new project, soulsurfin' music, which concentrates on the more musical end of the spectrum.

boogieman, founded back in 1999 with his mates toon and mad marshal, has so far seen the most releases, including various collaborations with vocalists from the carribean and has also scored a number of hits, with boom 005 and 006 selling out and calling for immediate represses.

besides promoting parties with the crew, he runs several residencies in the clubs of his home town, has been a member of the first local dnb radioshow for three years, and has played all over switzerland and europe (barcelona, berlin, freiburg, mulhouse etc) alongside most keyplayers of the scene.
