𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

I like to write – I sometimes do little poems and stories for my own benefit (with absolutely no intention of publishing or generally publicising and of it). If you know me and Peaky Beats' collaboration series BrainJuice then you'll know I also love horror movies – whether it's very serious allegory or goofy slime and gore. But really I guess anything can be considered art if it expresses something and you take care over it, from making dinner to writing music to making your bed. I find approaching things like that gives me happier days.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐦, 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

One of the things I like the most about dubstep etc. is the little psychedelic dubbed out sounds and abstract, acousmatic sound design and I think where that comes from is psychedelic bands like The Mars Volta and Jane's Addiction. I remember basically discovering delay through those bands as a teenager and I think my approach to sounds has grown from there. I still go back to TMV all the time. I also enjoy various forms of folk music and I often used to go to folk sessions in pubs.

𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜?

I see music as yes, an art, but I do it more like a craft. I enjoy the process of getting better at all the little technical things and realising the sounds in my head. I'm not trying to construct a meaning or tell a story or anything really – I'm trying to do a craft well, like a carpenter trying to make a good table. Some might say that sounds a bit dry but I'm satisfied with the endless fascination with the sounds themselves. What more do they have to mean?

𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐃𝐉 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 (𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐩), 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

I'm definitely a producer before being a DJ, so I first played live with an Ableton live setup, MIDI controllers etc. But nowadays I find it a bit contrived to try to do dance music “live” - my production method is inherently offline so trying to shoehorn it into real time doesn't make much sense for me. There's a real danger of doing something just to be doing something, whether it serves the music or not. I think I'm happiest with a simple DJ setup (digital and vinyl ideally) and a very small but very densely packed room.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐠?

Well I started releasing music as Vel and as part of BrainJuice during lockdown and I still haven't had a chance to play out, so there's a year's worth of my own productions that I'd be really keen to hear properly on a proper system! Just generally there's a whole year of releases I'm ready to bust out. I think Get 2 Get Her by Chavinski (Myor) is going to absolutely go off though, as is the whole of WAVE001 from Seventh Wave Sounds – loads of good UK Breakbeat from the last 6 months or so actually.

Where: Main stage

For this set we tried to stay in between deep hypnotic sound, infused with idm, and bass driven tunes, going back and forth between straight 4/4 kicks and syncopated ones.
Lately got bored really easly from all 4/4 sets and find hard to create a connection with the music with all breaks sets because we can't dance how we'd like to, so for me the solution is to try to find an healthy balance between straight 4/4 and breaks in order to get the best from both styles. Simone also played some unreleased from a friend and himself and was super fun to see people dance to our new music!
We really enjoyed to play at perpendicular, was like a family gathering but for music heads
