Started in June 2002, C.M.E is a solo electronic
punk sound with a message. Its non-conformist style reflects his
interest in a wide range of electronic genres from Drum N Bass,
Digital Hardcore, Detroit Techno to Breaks.
From his involvement in the punk metal music scene
as a youth in the early 90s, C.M.E. adopted much of the DIY attitude
and was very influenced by both the hardcore/punk and electronic
sounds then. He had his first electronic band with some friends and
became the main lyricist. Around 1993, he released 2 punk fanzines (
VENGEANCE and A&E ). It wasn't long that he ventured again and
kick-started a local electronic dance fanzine Urban Blaze in 1998.
Most recently, he published an online Digital hardcore/Electronic
Noise fanzine Tokyo Tribe 02216 with folks from Restart Violence
label (http://www.dcfe.org).
The idea of making his own music was a natural
progression after years of intense exposure. Upon reflection of his
music-making he has this to share, I got myself familiar with some
music software like Fruity Loop and Acid, then began toying around
with my PC and samples ripped from the net, with tones of advice
from kind friends. Basically I just hope that it sounds good to the
listener. As I have too many musical influences, I have plans to
release stuff under different moniker to better reflect each and
every genre that influenced my life and music.
C.M.E’s first song Stop Profit Killing was
inspired by the statement of the Earth Liberation Front website and
was produced with the help of the talented Techbreaker
(http://www.mp3.com/techbreaker). For his next track, incorporating
vocals from a local Hardcore band will be in the pipeline. He is
also scouting for other musicians to collaborate to work on
releasing a five-track CD.
