i would like to use my last name (Eden) but there is obviously Mt Eden already.
so i chose "eyecompellya" because my girlfriend has amazingly bright blue eyes. she gives me the drive to pursue music. also, there is another meaning behind it. it has to do with the all seeing eye, the illuminati, the devil, and the force they have over the people. oh, and it sounds like "acapella"

I was messing about on my decks a few years ago and trying thinking of names all day in the back of my head. The back cover of one of my vinyls caught my eye which was Mr Spring - Voyager 1.56 (Filter Kings Remix) and i just stopped the record I was playing and wrote down FILTRONIKS in capital letters and that was that for me.

I like Bass, and I also have a head. The rest as they say, is history.

I originally chose amphibian, but it turns out that that's not very unique, so when it came to researching myself in order to satiate my ego, it didn't work. pHybian was then my next choice, which appears to be used as a first name for some people, so I guess I have a new first name

I just made up a nonsense word. Undrig doesn't mean anything, but it sounds like it might. Figure if anything it would be a term to describe my sound if nothing else.

Before I really understood where dubstep started, I had the idea to make chilled out dubstep. I didn't realise at the time there were other forms, and not just filth.
I though comfy was a nice way to say chilled and relaxed. Added style on to the end because comfy and chilled would be the style I produced in.
Changed the y's to i's because I'm hip as fuck.
And only just yesterday I dropped the whole stile from the end, and am now just comfi.
I lost my stile.

Back when i was at school there was a band that called themselves "no remorse" after the metalica song. Affter wide spread abuse and constantly been reminded they should change their name.... the changed it to "the change". Needless to say they never really got anywhere as a group

Seriously though, Shum is the surname of some girl that I used to fancy. I haven't used it as an alias for any releases.

I've only been in one real fight, but one night I one-punched a 300 lb fat dude. I've been holding on to that night forever.
