Drew Lustman, aka FaltyDL, grew up in Connecticut and after flunking out of college by doing too many drugs, was lucky enough to have his early music signed by Mike Paradinas, aka µ-Ziq, for Planet Mu Records in the UK. He moved to New York and began making mutated garage-influenced stuff, bringing in grime, dubstep, house and broken beat influences into his sound as it progressed and he became a favourite of the blogosphere and won supporters such as Thom Yorke from Radiohead and Flying Lotus.

Making his name in the 1990s as a melodic avant-garde electronic producer using pseudonyms such as u-Ziq, Jake Slazenger and Tusken Raiders, Mike Paradinas was a peer of experimental artists such as Luke Vibert, Squarepusher and Aphex Twin.
