When electronic music is crisp, well produced and easy to dance to, it tends to be good. These are elements that Scott Herren, aka Prefuse 73, combines to make intelligent electronic music that has a distinct 21st century edge. Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, Herren was taught as a child to play a myriad of various classical instruments including piano, but as Herren matured his musical tastes drifted towards punk, hip hop and electronic music. Herren produced instrumental tracks for a few Southern rappers in Atlanta before moving to New York to launch his career as an electronic musician.
