Nate Raubenheimer started out his music career at the tender age of seven when he received his first electronic keyboard. He went on to discover jazz and classical music before becoming obsessed with synthesizers, computers and electronic music. His musical explorations have taken him through many different styles of music including breaks, house and electro.
After finishing school, with a background of basic music studies and personal experience with computer recording, he went on to study sound engineering at Cape Town City Varsity. There he worked on many aspects of modern sound recording and engineering, from film to live band recordings before finding his place in the psy trance scene. He was first introduced to the music by Regan and Gareth Tacon, currently co-owners of Nano Records. Before even attending one of the much talked about South African outdoor parties, he wrote his first single, “superhighway samurai”. The track was picked up by DJ Anti, and was released on Mechanism, a compilation by Sweden’s Spiral Trax Label Group. His sound was instantly recognizable as his signature style, a blend of full on grooves, progressive structures, and epic “morning” melodies.
This sound was refined over the next year, with his signing to Nano Records and the subsequent release of numerous tracks such as “Synergism” and “Ultraphunktional”, released on Nano Record’s Emergence Compilation, which received much acclaim after its initial release just before the European summer in 2001.
