Seattle-born producer Steven Ford started his adventures in music as a speed-metal drummer with a knack for 12-tone compositions, but turned to electronic music during the late 1990s, first adopting the moniker Bobby Karate, and later Bruno Pronsato. His productions encompass experimental minimal techno as well as various other house and techno styles, appearing through his own Thesongsays label, as well as imprints such as Bosconi Records, Hello Repeat, and Philpot.
