Raczynski's early recordings were created using music tracker programs such as Impulse Tracker,[8] and he participated with tracker-focused netlabels such as the Kosmic Free Music Foundation. Raczynski's post-netlabel albums were released on Rephlex Records until its closure in 2014.[9] Rephlex founder Richard D. James cited Raczynski as an inspiration for tracks on his album Drukqs.[10][11] His work includes remixes of Björk and Ulver.

Biography

edit

Raczynski was born in Poland and emigrated to rural Nebraska with his family at the age of 7. He attended art school in Japan, but dropped out and eventually became homeless, living on the streets of Tokyo or in friends' homes. He sent a demo of Boku Mo Wakaran to Rephlex Records before returning to his parents' home in the United States. After signing with Rephlex, he spent the next four years moving between England, Ireland, the United States, and Canada due to visa issues.[12][13]
