Beginning by mixing elements of R & B and Acid Jazz with the big breakbeat backbone of mid- tempo hip-hop. Gradually moving more toward the abstract applying heavy effects and sample manipulation to thick, smart breaks, layered, ambient textures and subtle, inventive scratching.

His work totally defined the synthesizer of 80s and 90s hip-hop and can still be clearly recognized in the pop hits of today.
