3stripe escaped from a hi-tech trainer manufacturing plant in West Germany in the late 1970s. On the run in Soviet Russia, he became a maverick hacker, eventually working as a double agent for Great Britain during the height of the Cold War.

As tensions eased between the two countries, 3stripe found himself surplus to requirements. So, he turned his talents music production, using early synthesizers that were later passed on to a certain Germain group called Kraftwerk.

When music technology became increasingly computer based in the 1990s, 3stripe shifted tack once again, and eloped to Scotland, dissappearing into the underground club scene of Glasgow, never to be seen again… until…

Tongue’n'Groove was launched in collaboration with Dangamouse in 2003 to showcase Glasgow’s breaks talent and bring the genre to a wider audience.

As well as regular laptop sets at Tongue’n'Groove he has also VJ’d in the past for Camouflage, Glasgow House Theory, Casa Futura and Subcity Radio amongst other, and has designed flyers for a handful of Glasgow club nights including T’n'G, Resistance, Twisted and GHT.

Watch out for a dub-heavy EP launching late 2006!

3stripe also dabbles in downtempo electronica/acoustic - ask him to show you his organ and you’ll see what we mean…

Elsewhere on the web, 3stripe can be found lurking at MySpace, Audiostreet and has his own website at 3stripe.net.
