Hesh is somewhat of a traveler. He spent the last few years between Leeds, Brussels, Berlin and Maastricht and is now back in Brussels again. In his time in these cities he studied music in depth, discovering a deep passion for an environmental sound. His musical journey started with house music and then drifted away to acousmatic music, soundscapes and ankle breaking techno. Hesh is also the co-founder of @Initiate_concept and curator of the Initiate Reflexions Podcasts:

INDEx Mix #40 - Hesh

Defrag is extreme sound design and audio rhythmic experimentation of Jeff Dodson, a composer and sound designer living in Los Angeles CA.

Defrag's influences like IDM, dubstep and experimental abstract glitch, filter into his music. With his classical background giving it a more cinematic progression. Orchestrated strings, piano, classic analogue synths and software processing add up to a fusion of analogue warmth, modern classical and raw digital abstraction.

That he chooses instead to make his attention to detail the vehicle for his songs rather than their focus is not only admirable, it’s a definitive comment on his priorities and where they lie. Defrag makes complicated music, but you can completely forget that in the moment and just experience it.

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/box5ive

For the 387th edition of the IA MIX Series, we are beyond excited to invite London-based ambient and experimental producer @box_5ive to deliver the goods.

With a productive year culminating in the release of his debut album 'Grey Space' via co:clear, a sparse, ambient tinged bass record that blew our minds and remains one of our favourite full lengths of the year. With that record and scattered tracks for the likes of Well Street and Comic Sans, Box5ive is a burgeoning name in the ever expansive and adventurous world of UK bass, grime, and dubstep.

Box5ive's mix explores contemporary independent club tracks, providing a glimpse at his peak time prowess from the comfort of your headphones. There are hints of his bass and dubstep influences, but it's woven in between prime dance fodder that works perfectly under strobe lights as the night morphs into the morning .

In addition to his stellar mix, Box5ive graciously answered our questions to shed light on his musical influences and beginnings, current studio set up, and a look at some of his favourite London clubs. ‎

Truancy Volume 351: Box5ive

This mix is a reflection of my 10+ year journey through the (bass) music scene as a listener and later as a DJ, Event Curator and Label Manager of "Eyesome". The selection starts off rather gentle around the 120-140 bpm mark with dub(step) and 4x4 UKG material before dipping into drum 'n bass. Both styles were highly influential to my taste in music from early on and up until this day continue to shape it. I feel lucky and privileged to be able to work with so many talented musicians on a regular basis. Hope you like the mix which I recorded - S/O Palanga Street Radio for allowing me use their studio.
