018 - CONCIERGE

(interview below)
Based in Manchester UK, Concierge has been richly submerged in musical prowess given then city’s past and present reputation for producing popular figures across a whole spectrum of genres. Holding residencies with Iniquity and Formation (formerly The Bakery) has given concierge a regular export to the region. His music is characterised by the early beginnings of techno through the 90s, raw, layered, loopy and accented with broken beats to bridge between shifts in energy.
 
INTERVIEW
You hold residencies at Iniquity and Formation in Liverpool. How does playing regularly for a consistent crowd shape the way you think about music?
 
Ideas from the studio don’t always translate to a dance floor, having a regular place to export and test in a comfortable environment helps me continuously shape both production and Djing. I never take this for granted, I owe a lot of my development to the Iniquity/Formation team and their crowds!

What artists, inside or outside of techno, have shaped you the most?
 
I’m shaped a lot from the 90s during the ‘House Of God’ era in Birmingham. Party regulars Female, Surgeon and Regis still play a pivotal role in selection and creative choices with production. Outside of techno is more difficult, I wouldn’t say anything outside of techno shapes my sound directly, but If I need to clear my headspace to produce then I’m frequently listening to 2 bands; Beach Fossils and American Football.

What’s next for Concierge – upcoming projects, directions, or experiments you’re excited to explore?
 
I’ve always been a strong advocate for self releasing. It’s flexible, financially rewarding and above all, it lets you tell your story exactly how you intend.
It’s not the most direct route for exposure but I prefer having more granular control over how I display my work in the way i see best fit. I think that’s my next endeavour.
