6amsunset is a producer and visual artist from Milan, Italy. Growing up in the midst of the digital era he was influenced by a wide range of sounds and genres coming from the internet’s both underground and popular sounds. After more than a decade of exploring sounds, scenes, and aesthetics, all those influences have been blended under the “6amsunset” moniker, first as a collection of songs released on the internet, and later as a DJ act.

To accompany his interview in The Wire 495, Kolkata born Nilotpal Das, aka Bios Contrast, creates a special mix of his own tracks alongside music by influences including Aphex Twin, Madvillain, Deftones, AR Rahman, and My Bloody Valentine

“The harmonium I use was gifted to my grandfather by his friend 45 years ago, and then he gave it to me,” says Kolkata musician Nilotpal Das. “I started playing when I was around 14. It’s really old and worn out, with an old sound to it. I wanted to experiment with how I can make drone sounds with it.”

The instrument appears in modified forms in his expansive, sometimes noisy, droning electroacoustic compositions. Another side of Das’s production is a collision-heavy club output that takes cues from “dubstep, noise, jungle, drum ’n’ bass” among numerous other sources of inspiration. Das works under his own name and the alias Bios Contrast, which “comes from the Greek word bios, meaning life, and contrast, which also means against life – I don’t really like the name but I’m stuck with it”.

As to how he decides which name suits each release, he leans into the confusion: “The stuff I put out is like a mixed bag, much like [Japanese video game designer] Hideo Kojima. I feel like now my stuff shouldn’t make sense all the time and that’s good, in a way I’ll have more artistic freedom.” His main tools are his laptop and Ableton, which he runs almost everything through. “My club tracks are mostly sample-based, and I also use harmonium samples,” he explains. Alongside soft-synths and samplers on his drone and ambient pieces he plays “guitar as well, but not as good as the harmonium. It’s been two years of playing the guitar – I used it with a bow like a string instrument. I also have a violin, but I play the guitar as a violin.”

Here, he curates a special Wire mix in advance of his new album SSAC42, which will be released on 27 June by Infinite Machine.
