For over thirty years he has been active in the music industry producing, programming, engineering, editing, mixing, performing, and teaching.[1]

He have worked at many high end (and sadly missed!) studios such as The Townhouse, Olympic, Mayfair, Livingston, Parr Street, Rockfield, Monnow Valley, The chapel, The Stone Room, Miloco Hoxton Square and Stanley House / Sofa Studios.
In 2001 Kane worked closely with pioneering synth Mute recording artist, Fad Gadget a.k.a. Frank Tovey, playing an instrumental part in Fad Gadget's support on Depeche Mode's 2001 ‘Exciter’ tour and as part of the Fad Gadget band, performing at Euro Rock in Benelux and Wembley Arena.
Ever a devotee of electronic music, his obsession continued through twenty years or so of rave culture and all its associated web of genres and styles, from the growth of Chicago House and Detroit Techno through to the birth of Drum & Bass, the invention of Tech House & the early DMZ Dubstep parties.
He run the defunct electronic net label Meta Junction Recordings. Meta Junction was a community of London-based electronic musicians and progressive experimentalists working with classic hardware and innovative software. The community's output mixed a wide range of styles uninhibited by arbitrary labeling, marrying digital communication and new technology with analogue music production methods. Meta nurtures innovation and the characters of Meta Junction were a broad pallet – an inclusive mix of music makers and talents to enhance the electronic spectrum.
He formed Meta Function, who makes innovative Max For Live devices alongside high quality devices, packs, racks and plugins that feature inspired sound design, tweaked to perfection to expand your sonic arsenal.
