about
Andy Hunter° is a British DJ and composer, encompassing a wide range of styles within the genre of electronica, including progressive breaks, trance, downtempo and ambient. Born in the Midlands of England in 1974, Hunter° discovered an interest for sound engineering during his teens. Following his aspiration, he left school and began to work for bands such as Suede and The Wonder Stuff. Eventually, he joined New Generation Music and Mission as a travelling engineer, moving to Bristol in 1992 – the scene that was breaking drum and bass. After honing his skills as a DJ at various nightclubs, Hunter° joined Robbie Bronnimann and Ray Goudie as Hydro, further developing his production skills under their second album, Aborigination. Soon, he would also form a band named Trip with Martin King, and made a release in 1999 with the album Cultural Shif. The same year, Hunter° split with Hydro and moved to Swansea, Wales to focus on solo projects. While continuing his work as a DJ around Swansea, Andy Hunter° set out to form his first solo album in 2000. Spanning a year and a half, his work eventually culminated into Exodus. Released on Nettwerk by the fall of 2002, the album gained praise from the US-based magazine Rolling Stone, and several tracks made it into mainstream media. "Go" and "Wonders of You" garnered major positions, being featured in various trailers: The Matrix: Reloaded, Sky High, National Treasure, Tomb Raider 2; motion pictures: Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, The Italian
