Aranha - SIMPLYDUBS#010

Hello Aranha, it's a pleasure to get you on this series. what would you say is your favorite track from this mix?

Pleasure to be on it. All things considered It'd probably have to be the third track, my remix of Grey.scale's "Rites of Passage". It originally started off as a wonky halfstep 160 track but i think the slower tempo lets the wonkiness shine a bit more. I also really like the bass I have for it. The was a vocal sample in the original I stretched out and processed a bunch then just laid a big sub under it.

Who/what are some of your biggest influences when it comes to making your music?

I've always had quiet an eclectic taste in music and I really appreciate producers who can take a stab at a bunch of genres. Also as well just growing up near croyden as dubstep was really taking off was quite inspiring. Just conceptually the idea a genre starting there and then being made all over the world really resonated with me.  

How do you split your time between running the three labels you're a part of and producing your own music?

Poorly usually. I'm lucky that I have help with most of the projects and have recently moved and been able to dedicate a room just to music stuff, which can help to compartmentalise things and get me in the mood to produce or work on label stuff a bit quicker. I terms of my own production I'll usually fire up my DAW at least once a day, even if its just to practice something specific or make presets for myself. Most of my tracks have come from that experimentation process. The final track in the mix was just me trying to use as much music theory I've een reading about as I can.


What's one of your favorite releases you've heard this year?

I've really been digging a lot of the White Peach releases this year, particularly the Rygby release, just super fresh sounding. In:Flux have been smashing it this year too, really cool stuff coming from them. For faster stuff Trax Haven have been having a sick year too
