Music like S3RL

UserPage article for Jole until Wikipedia accepts him as Brisbane's king of hardcore.

Jole Hughes, better known as DJ S3RL, is a DJ and electronic music producer from Brisbane, Australia.

Most of S3RL's work is produced on Reason 3.0 by Propellerhead software.

S3RL's first experience with digital music production came in 2000 with the release of Sony Playstation's Music series. The game allowed users to create original melodies via musical notation and had some sequencing and effects capabilities. Soon after, he developed a keen interest in the emerging Brisbane rave scene and attended his first event, Advent*jah, in 2001. Brisbane's affinity for the harder, bouncier genres of rave music had a definitive influence over the producer who began to focus more on hardcore and happy hard tracks. In late 2005, S3RL met Kevin Energy on his Freeformation tour and gave him a demo disc of 10 tracks he had created on Reason 2.3. Shortly after, Kevin Energy emailed to give good word over the demo and eventually proposed the release of the original production Transformers.
