Don't let the tweekers see! is BJ Rigney. Born in Oakland, BJ and his wife Mel, along with Rita, RW, and Ada (2 cats 1 dog) reside in Crockett California overlooking the Carquinez Strait. BJ has been fiddling with computers and music for roughly 14 years. In the early days it was guitar and bass and METAL!! that started it all. BJ spent many hours learning his favorite metal riffs and creating his own in those early days. He had always been interested in drums but at the time, a drum kit was more than he could afford. After some saving, BJ finally got a drum kit and began playing in a couple of punk bands (The Aborted, and Room 237 mostly). After several years of playing drums in these bands and others, BJ decided it was time to try his hand at making electronic music. This was another form of music that was out of reach for many years due to the cost of equipment, but slowly the studio grew into what it is today. Since 96 BJ has been collecting gear, learning how to use it, making music, then collecting more gear, then learning how to use that, then making more music etc. etc.


Today BJ still tries to make time to play drums and guitar, but his real focus is making music in the studio. At the moment BJ has a few projects in the works.


These project include:
Realthings, (with jeremiah menez of Root Elements and Root Suit, the music is mostly groovy, funky, trip hop with hip hop and IDM elements)


Don't let the tweekers see (his slow music, hip hop/trip hop, electro with a pinch of experimental electronics)


Wormfood (his oldest project started in 96, dark, gritty, experimental, glitchy, techno (his fast music))
Wormfood has several releases around the world on labels like: Spectral Concepts-USA, USTA-Israel, Tempest Recordings-Australia, and soon to be Horns and Hoofs-Russia.

Lately BJ has been mastering some Oakland metal bands (Asunder, and Stormcrow), he also mastered Grounded.
