My Overview
Hi! I am Floof/FloofTheFox and I am an Autistic Furry Fox studying Music Technology at college in Dorset in the UK!
I can go by any pronoun but He/Him is the one most commonly used and is what I was born with.
I am a part of and in full support of the LGBTQIA+ (And more!) community! I love foxes to bits and i'd do anything for a fox if I had to!
To start from the beginning of my current journey, I legitimately thought the only genres of music were Pop, Rock and Classical because thats all I heard from the radio. The Turning point for when this changed was when I found out about Monstercat through a game called Rocket League and Monstercat's amazingly varied amount of electronic music that wowed me so much, I chose to start making music myself (after waiting to complete school to start going into college)
Only recently, I have won a local DJ competition called the Street In The Park and though I had participated in the competition 2 times prior, the third time was the time I won both the entery (which was againsed 12 other local DJs) and the final (against the previous 3 winners)! To do that, I had to learn to cater to the audience I was DJing to, instead of my favroute tracks because the previous two times I participated, I played a more US based style of dubstep (more screechy but i love them). What I did for this third participation in this competition is playing UK dubstep, which is more bass reliant and wub-y, also having a more danceable groove. This made me decide that UK Dubstep is definitely the way I want to go into the future of my DJ sets (unless i want to show off)!
I can't wait for more opportunities and more ways to show off my skills and to spread my fluffy positivity to as far and wide as I possibly can!
The DAW I use is Studio One 7 and the main genre of music I produce is Dubstep but I do dip my toes/toe beans into other genres when my brain feels like it wants to, usuely inspired by ideas in my Twitch streams! talking about Twitch, I stream weekly on Twitch! i mainly play games like Super Animal Royale and Elite Dangerous but I do sometimes make music live! Joining my streams is the best way to chat to me and ask questions or anything you want (within reason).
If you don't enjoy the first song you listen to by me, listen to a different one! Since I produce a varied amount of electronic music and make alot of mixes, there will be songs and sets for everybody! Just dig a little further into my discography! Yip! Yip! Yap! (Rawr!)
