UK inspired electronic music has changed significantly over the past twenty years, mutating between elements of bass, house music, techno and back again. The sounds are often intertwined and linked by creative dj's and producers who aren't keen to be pigeonholed or bound by the limitations of genre or style. 

Tom VR is a perfect example of one such artist, an emerging producer who has risen to prominence with an array of eclectic, thoughtful releases on the likes of All My Thoughts, Lionoil Industries and his own imprint Valby Rotary which he runs alongside Louf. His most accomplished work perhaps has come on a new EP for Midland's record label, Intergraded. A pensive, bass inspired affair which also features beautiful ambient textures and delicate, precise sound design built to immerse dancers in the clubs. 

Tom's own musical tastes are rooted in the more pensive undertones of electronic music, there is a tonal undercurrent which runs throughout his work and sound. That's not to call it 'deep' but it is.

BARKER mixes are few and far between here on the 'cloud but we are super proud that this genre bender is gracing our 3024 TAPES series, enjoy & spread the word!


3024: Please describe the mix in a single sentence ?

I thought I’d make a mix in the currently popular yet controversial 140-160bpm range, as there’s some amazing music in this space between techno and jungle that doesn’t revolve around straight kicks, and I think it deserves more attention.

3024: What DJ inspires you at the moment / has inspired you throughout the years and why?

Throughout the years.. well apart from this guy Martyn I’d have to say Andi Baumecker. I don’t know many DJs with such a depth of knowledge across so many genres. His passion for music is relentless and continuously inspiring.

Recently I’ve been really into Polygonia. Brilliant producer and DJ from Munich creating ethereal worlds through sound so convincing you can almost step into them. I went to see her open Berghain last September and it was incredible, like being in a rainforest on acid. 

3024: What are you working on / what have you got forthcoming?

There’s a new EP coming this summer which will be announced soon, and a few remixes before that, for Jakojako and Hercules & Love Affair (with Mr Baumecker). Otherwise, I’m having fun developing a new live set involving MIDI controlled lights, which I premiered at Superbooth last week.

Drawing from his wider music taste as well as club-rooted sounds, K-LONE journeys freely through hazy R&B, tinkering electronic warmth and ambient house.
