Influenced and styles aside, Andy is also heavily influenced by Manchester bands, and The Bristol sound of the early 90s, haveing been a resident there for a few years in the early 90s, before moving to San Francisco to continue his raving career.
The US rave scene influenced Andy some more, and the outdoor parties around San Fransisco and other UK DJs on the West Coast of California influneced the deep house style of production witnessed in some of Perception Records releases.
Moving form DJ to producer, always moving to work with new technology, the sound remains one with no fixed boundaries, a range of influences and artists forming the label's aesthetic.
