As a young boy in Wisconsin he recorded episodes of Miami Vice, sampling Jan Hammer's music, later collecting them, and playing them over the backdrop of other musical genres. After a brief stint with model railroading such experiments with tape grew less obvious. Samples were collected from a range of sources, and eventually mixed with meager homespun recordings. Later attending Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids, Kowalski would often be found playing the grand piano in the empty auditorium rather than attending class, slowly teaching himself chord progressions. During this same period, he also learned the basics of other instruments including guitar and drums in an effort to put together simple songs. By then, other formidable influences began to take hold.
Kowalski (recording as Radiogate in 1996 and 1997) found many creative peers and grew into an integrated underground electronic music community in Milwaukee.
