Producer Snafu

Hi, My name is Benjamin Pena



I Sigh Allot and i am a Cloud Pervert.



To know me is to love me!



i'm just a bored dude with a Melody for any emotion and a beat for Destruction



i make music because i have to, if i do not create music then i'd prolly be on the fbi's most wanted list if you know what i mean



thanks to my friend Ed (Skymall) i am obsessed with the music of Daniel Johnston



my music is just a cry for help



a cry for love



my early Influences ranged from a lot of things; I was into a lot of numetal at first with the whole KoRn, SoulFly, Incubus. Primus and rage against the machine type deal when I was in high school (95-99)



I was always looking for the hardest music I could fine with some proper lyrics with issues i could relate to, but I got to frustrated with every ones music not being able to relate to anyone but myself, I was introduced to the hardcore scene around 2000 when a friend of mine Halloway invited me to a rave.



This rave was the first although I had claimed to be a raver back in jr. high although I never attended any raves, my sister was part of a party crew by the name of RoR (realm of reality) and I had access to all these cool old school remixes that she would get from her friend doc chaos so I knew some what to expect,

Well when we had attended this rave I was oblivious as to what to expect, I shore as hell wasnt into the trance and I was digging the drum and bass but what caught my ear was the hardcore.

Just the consistency of this pounding bass repeating in a 4x4 pattern was just so amusing,

Halloway and I from that day declared our selfs fans of this hard beat style,

Later on in the year my friend did some research for this and downloaded a program to produce by the name of Tuareg, I fucked around on it and made some beats but being a guitarist back in the day I wanted some melodies as well as just beats, so my friend had introduced me into this well known product called fruity loops I fucked with it and fell in love. this was the day I had became a producer, I was given the name producer snafu

By a online friend of mine from soulseek the snafu is a war term used in world War II

It an acronym for Situation Normal All Fucked Up

I like to think that with the music I create thats what happens.

I take a normal senario and fuck it up with some hard beats,

I started off with the hardcore messing with some drum and bass then moving on to Breakcore and getting sad with chip tunes and idm.

I like to experiment and have fun, the music I made has always been for me, and my friends, but mainly for myself to keep my sanity. . . . . .

i am thankful for anyone that likes my music . . . . Like russians raving to my music
