Sheik - SIMPLYDUBS#012

Hello Sheik, it's a pleasure to have you on the SIMPLYDUBS series. It's been a while since you've appeared on an official Simply Deep release - all the way back in 2016 with your remix of Aerotonin's 'That North'. Have your musical ventures been going well since then? 

2016 seems like a lifetime ago ha! I think over the last few years I’ve taken time back to work on reshaping my sound. I’ve done this with starting 2 aliases which focus on soulful house ‘’S.D.S’ and electro/footwork ‘DJ Shade’ I released an ep under S.D.S entitled ‘The first morning on holiday ep in 2019’ and released some electro with Simply deep for the BLM cause. I’ve also been exploring different genres which has lead to me opening for Moodyman at E1, supporting hot Chip at Brixton jam, doing a live set at the Wire alongside the Zenker Brothers and djing with my friend’s brand Disco Express.  I feel this represents me as I listen to so many different sounds. If you check my bandcamp/soundcloud everything should be there as I have so many different releases since 2016!

What's your favourite track from this mix? 

Tony Phorse - Zartan in Reverse remix I did. I remember being inspired by the Mumdance in reverse track. This got released on 10’’ under District sound and did a lot of rounds on the airwaves.

What's your favourite hardware/software/plugin to use when you are producing? 

Aira TR8/9. I think seeing Jeff Mills manipulate a drum machine like he did 9as well as being a drummer myself) it was the kit I needed and its juts so fun to use.

What music release from this year have you enjoyed the most? 

Bad - Calibre & DRS V Mark Ernestus. Big, Bold and Dubby (I sound like a hardwax advert ha)

Have you been working on many new tracks at the moment, any forthcoming releases from yourself we should keep an eye out for?

I am currently working on a collab EP with my brother Drime and potentially releasing an EP on my bandcamp.

Has the global Covid-19 pandemic affected your creativity in regards to production?

100% - I haven't produced as much over the pandemic and I think its made me realise how much going out and hearing live music aids my creativity. Hopefully we are back out soon, preferably with the hugest sound systems known to man

We made this song a while ago to reminisce good times. With lockdown this song took on a whole new meaning for us, and the music video made itself. We've been playing this one for about 2-3 years in radio shows and sets and felt like now was time to put it out. We'll see you in the rave when this is over.
