The saying goes, "all things worth having take a while", and true to word,
this is a lesson Troy has learned. Music is an acquired taste. A good chef
will tell you, "your food is as good as your seasoning", likewise, in
house music your sound is as good as your "seasoning".
Troy, born a few years after the emergence of house music, he had to find
his choice of house that wets his pallet, what he'd consume and feed to
others. Troy has been putting work into his craft, from collecting music,
working the desks and like a germinating seed, he had to step out into the
light and give us a taste of what he's been building all these years.
Looking at his release catalog, you'd not believe that he has been
involved in the craft for about a decade now. His sound, though a bit more
mature than his age, has indeed come of age.
To date, he has contributed to releases on labels like Do It Now
Recordings, DeepStitched,Limitation Music, Kanzen Records, Global
Diplomacy, Abicah
Soul
recordings and few others under the alias "AudioArQue" (which also doubles
as a name on an imprint he founded for his kind of deep).
He has also earned his stripes in the dj scene with contributions to
sessions like Reminisce Sundays, House Rehab which features notable
djs/producers
and his
brainchild The Deep And The People which he has been patiently building
with a little help from friends. He has also bobbed his head at various
places in Gauteng, Limpopo and the North West provinces of South Africa.
Rounding it all off with a weekly slot on SAUB radio, dishing out the
finest, well cut joints.
Troy has been fortunate to have some of the well respected figures in
house interpret and showcase his music. From having remixes by the likes
of Addex, Alvaro Hylander, D.M.P, From P60, Pablo Fierro, Powel and Sacred
Souls to making top 10 charts of the likes of Lars Behrenroth and enjoying
support from Deep Inspiration Show, Vinny Da Vinci, blogs like The Lost
and Found and his co-conspirator 2Lani The Warrior it is evident that he
has been well received.
