Honestly can’t wait till the events are up n running again and I can play out loads of music I been working on over the whole lockdown period"

- What other interests do you have outside of music?

"To be honest, I don’t really have many. I am into my cooking at the moment, and I’m also a bit of a film fanatic but that’s about it"


- What should we me looking out for from you in the coming months?

"Got some very exciting projects coming out very soon including two collaborative tracks with Breaka on his label ‘BreakaRecordings’, a release with the Leeds-based label ‘Gimme A Break Records’, and finally a follow-up EP on ‘Time is Now’"

Clark – Pig
AYA – Delishus
BFTT – IOSMIDI6_Droplets

In conversation with Delay Grounds:

- What sort of direction did you take with this mix?

All my mixes tend to get a bit gushy at some point or another so I think for me it’s just a matter of working my way up to that point, trying to hold a certain level of intensity and/or riding the energy in and out of the climax points. I love blending the weird/groovy with the emotional, its almost like trying to confuse people as much as possible for as long as possible while maintaining somewhat coherency and then giving them the relief of a big emotional melody… something like that anyway. 

- What sort of music have you been enjoying recently?

Been bang into Severed Heads recently, a fairly new discovery for me but a seriously amazing band. It like industrial/experimental 80s vibes, a lot of there stuff is quite noisy but when it hits right it hits sooo goooooooood. Check out a song called We Have Come to Bless the House. 

I’m a big fan of Henry Greenleaf too at the moment, really top notch productions and sound design going on in his tracks. Theres one inside this here mix which is particularly excellent called Pan Strings, literally no idea what’s going there its fantastic. 

Big Loraine James fan too right now, her tracks are always quite stripped back but have a really interesting arrangement that holds my attention. The music is always cutting corners, flipping back on itself and rarely does what you think it’s gonna do. 

- What other interests do you have outside of music?

Ontologically speaking everything is pretty interesting I think, the Universe is pretty mental in general and I enjoy having my mind blown … I love Outer Space, History, Art, Food, People, Cycling all that good stuff. I just want to learn as much as possible and continue to grow as an individual and as part of a wider community of artist/producers/humans/carbon based life. It would be reductive for me to specify individual interests because everything is connected, my creative process is a feedback loop between my mind and physical reality. I am influenced and influence in return. Hope that answers your question haha..

- What should we be looking out for from you in the coming months?

I have loads of music coming actually, the pandemic has really slowed the process down which is very annoying but also fine I’m just being impatient as I’m just really excited for everyone to hear it. I have two 5 track EPs coming out over the next 5 months and a few remixes here and there. Follow Tropopause Records and Lapsus Records on social media for updates on all of this!

In Conversation with PLUS ONE:

What direction did you wanna take with the mix?
Throughout lockdown I had felt that daydreaming and escapism became a daily necessity. Due to the fact Ireland had one of the strictest and longest lockdowns in the world, I found myself conjuring up stages and imaginary locations in my head while djing. I found that this gave me a sense of freedom which was desperately needed and also it made me focus on location and atmosphere rather than the music necessarily. In this mix, I had imagined playing at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan, hence the deep, dubby chugginess of the music played. 

What bits do you enjoy outside of music?
Outside of music I love going for a nice long, 3 or 4 hour walk. I really like playing some 7-a-side, playing computer games with my pals, and hanging out with my girlfriend, nothing too intense. I realise how childish some of those things are now that I say them but I try to keep things light as trying to pursue music as a profession can be an extremely daunting thing at times. 

What exciting things have you got in the pipeline?
At the moment I have two EP’s in the works with two labels which I really admire. I can’t wait to have them out and for people to hear them, I think they definitely have some of the best music I’ve made to date. I also have a new monthly radio residency starting soon.

In conversation with Thodén:

 - Describe the style and energy of the mix, where did you want to take it and how do you envisage it being played and received by the audience?

"The mix is, as with most, a culmination of styles I'm into at the moment. I tried to mix easy listening with more energetic music and take it through one to the other. I compiled a lot of old and new stuff that popped out to me without any preconditions as to their fluidity. It jumps around as a result, from mostly ambient in the beginning to a lot of fun stuff in the end without sticking to a specific formula. Mixes are more interesting that way I think"

- What sorts of music are you enjoying at the moment? 

"Most electronic music I listen to at the moment is whilst I'm doing these mixes, but it's coming back bit by bit. I'm enjoying a lot more non-'dance' stuff at the moment, most likely a result of the present circumstance. Been getting into ambient bits from labels like experiences ltd. and appendix.files. Recently did an album for Electromenager which took some inspiration from that"

 - Anything we need to keep an eye out for in the coming months?

"Got a V.A. release coming up with Pseudonym, other than that I'm just taking it slow for the moment; I just moved to Copenhagen to start my masters and that's been pretty busy so I'm trying to balance my time"
