Schmieriii Tracks

Der Maschinist

[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE] We’re continuing the runners-up in the Claude’s Construction contest! Congrats to Diverse Tha O.G. with "Tha Lion And The Birdy"! Here's their track, exclusive to the 'Feed!


-How long have you been creating music?

Around 20 years now, but I really had to step back on things, for around 6 years to focus on my glassblowing career, which needed my focus and is a big love of mine. Then I put all my free time into leveling up my production skills, to try and come back as strong as possible upon reentry to the musical realm.


-What do you use to make your tracks?

I was a Cubase guy for my first decade, then made the switch to Ableton. I have been super happy with that choice, I have lots of controllers and some hardware synth's, but I do most things in the box.


-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?

It was at the beginning, in 2006. Some DnB friends from Denver all went to Las Vegas for a bachelor party, and happened to find a Drum and Bass party, to our delight! Halfway thru the party, a nice lady from San Francisco came over and chatted us up, telling us DnB is her main thing, but her friends just started a house label started by DnB heads, and we needed to check it out, they were putting out the heaters, and it was starting to gain some real traction in the bay area.

I never could find house I was into, but once and awhile I would hear something at a party that resonated with me, but had no idea where to look for it. When we got back to Denver I found it on Beatport, and bought all the tunes, and was instantly hooked! Dirtybird is the label that made me fall in love with the sound of house, so a massive thank you for that! 


-Which Dirtybird artist would you want to collaborate with the most?

Barclay/Claude on both sides of his musical spectrum, and Steve Darko would be at the top of my list, but I am super into everyone on the label!


-If your entire life was a movie, what title would best describe you?

I guess Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I feel like I get into as wild of times as was in the movie, except for I try to not get as sloppy as them, lol.


-What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Tough question! I would put it like this: Burning Man all of the 15 years I have gone were the best events by far! Best festival would be: the Oregon eclipse festival. Best Concert I would say: Tipper Red Rocks.


-If you could time travel, where and when would you go?

I would have loved to check out, the whole 60's-70's the hippie then into disco era. So probably then.


-What species of bird best describes you and why? 

The Bird of Paradise, I love the dance they do! 


-What does Dirtybird mean to you?

Family, because it's so much more than just music, and that is why I love it so much!

[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE] We’re continuing the runners-up in the Claude’s Construction contest! Congrats to Seek-One with "Zzyzx"! Here's their track, exclusive to the 'Feed!


-How long have you been creating music?

I grew up in punk bands in High School but DJing and producing electronic music going on 10 years!


-What do you use to make your tracks?

A mixture of hardware and software. Lately, a lot of in-the-box stuff and I am on Abelton 11.


-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?

Been a fan for a long time. Definitely around when Claude's track "Whos afraid of Detroit?" 2006? Came out I started digging to find out more about the label and the music. I got hooked at the first Campout for sure though. I have been every year since!


-Which Dirtybird artist would you want to collaborate with the most?

Definitely Papa Claude, for sure. But I would say my style is most influenced by Ardalan and Justin Martin.


-If your entire life was a movie, what title would best describe you?

Up


-What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?

That's a super hard one, I love live music maybe a toss-up between Soulwax live and Deltron 3030 with a live Orchestra. There are just so many.


-If you could time travel, where and when would you go?

Honestly back to the late 80s, early 90s. Anywhere in So Cal, I have a soft spot in my heart for that era.


-What species of bird best describes you and why?

Well, I guess the House Sparrow, for obvious reasons. But also because they are normally not native to the area and frequently take "dust baths" which reminds me of getting dirty in the festival crowds.


-What does Dirtybird mean to you?

Dirtybird means family, I mean I felt like part of the flock immediately. Just being a fan and going to events connecting with people and friendships being made. How accessible the artists are to the fans really feels like a community. After placing 3rd in 2 of the last contests and this release definitely solidifies my feeling of being part of the team.
