		Interview - What was the direct influence to give you the idea of making breakcore tunes? S: I was born with music. Both my parents are musicians and they fed me music every day. I actually grew up with lots and lots of classical music but as soon as I was teenager I started listening to hard rock, hip hop.. all that shit.. I also played in a few bands here and there but none of that really took off. Then I started my DJ career as Sickboy round 98, I played electro, techno and experimental electronica that later evolved to breakcore. As a DJ I wanted to make my own records.. at the time I started I was really inspired by Venetian Snares, Aphex Twin, Si Begg, Subhead... But producing breakcore came so naturally to me, I never produced any other stuff althou the new stuff I'm making for the 3rd album is more illectro-inspired.

		- Do you have any political policy or emotional concept for your tunes? If you have any particular concept for making Breakcore, please tell us. S: Yes and no. I do not want my music to reflect any political ideology. I think music and politics are 2 different things so I'm not gonna write the next anti-Bush track. However, I think it's really important that people "think" and I like to surprise people, maybe even confuse them (so then I sort off know they will think about stuff and that makes me happy). So I truly believe my music is emotional. I am a very emotional being and I can be really sweet or really bad. My concept is to create musical energy and believing that everybody should dance their fucking brains out.

		- Do you think that is there any relation among situation of world today and Breakcore music’s rapid growing? Please write your thinking. S: Making music with computers. Is this the last step in music making? What other new machines or instruments can we use (that have not been used) to make music? I do think that everything is very much the same but communication is getting much better. Everything moves faster. Nothing seems impossible and taboos get broken. As seeing it positive, i believe breakcore is a reflection, a mirror, of angry young kids who are fed up with mainstream bullshit. It's the same as punk in 77 or whatever other subculture erupted thanks to bullshit. Youtube : Sickboy live

- How do you expect the future of Breakcore scene? Do you think you are still composing Breakcore tunes after 10 years later? A: I'll probably be making something hard and dark but i don't know if we'll call it Breakcore or what it will sound like. New music develops so quickly! It's exciting and impossible to predict. The only constant is that producers will always find a way to use the newest technology to make the most insane sounds. A new speaker design, new piece of gear, or new software effect could launch an entire new sound we're unable to comprehend right now. - Which artists do you respect in Breakcore scene? And why? A: There are so many, forgive me for leaving out some people... because almost everyone in this scene is super friendly and down to earth. sticking with artists only; Jason Forrest for bringing in all kinds of crazy influences throughout ALL genres of different music. Xanopticon for making amazing next-level robot music that sounds like nothing else on the planet. Society Suckers for being all around insane and wacky. Baseck for bringing the much needed DJ scratch element into a world of laptop sets. All the 5lowershop people in San Francisco for bringin' it 24/7 ! DJ C isn't exactly Breakcore but that's one reason i respect him, he's an amazing producer and sounds like no one else but himself. He makes some bold moves w/ his Mashit label, mixing tons of different styles. He's open to anything.

		- How do you expect the future of Breakcore scene? Do you think you are still composing Breakcore tunes after 10 years later? S: I honestly don't know if I'll still be doing the same thing in 10 years but I know for sure that what I'm doing here is something I truly deeply love doing with all my love and hate. I really think the scene is just beginning. we have to grow stronger until there is no denial! - Please write any message to viewers who never listen Breakcore music. S: Don't limit yourselves in your musical journey! Sickboy : http://www.sickboymilkplus.be Written by Hirokit
