Gorilla T sold his PS4 and half his belongings to buy Ableton after seeing Subtronics play a show at Fort Collins' Aggie Theatre — Tate Warner was a college athlete at the time, with no real production background beyond childhood piano, saxophone, and guitar lessons, and that one concert is the entire reason he switched paths. He put nearly every waking hour into music for the three years that followed.
By 22 he was direct support for Mize, Kill the Noise, and Virtual Riot, and playing stages like Excision's Thunderdome — a fast climb for someone whose entire production career started with a single concert and an impulsive gear purchase.
