      For Alan Chapple, aka Lanky ShankZ., a Producer, Composer, Graphic & Sound Designer from Victoria, BC, music is an all-day, everyday constant. He isn’t dedicated to electronic music so much as completely absorbed in it. This is evident in the rapid development of his work during his still recent career as a DJ and producer. His style has continuously evolved, from his earliest Dubstep heavy tracks, to simpler Electro House, and towards his current source of inspiration, Brazilian style Complextro.
      Growing up, Lanky ShankZ.’s first serious instrument was the trumpet, followed by the guitar, which he reflects on as short-lived, but fun. His name, Lanky ShankZ., came into use during his brief career as a rapper. When he moved on to electronic music, he kept the title. “I just liked it, and thought it was a catchy name,” he says. The switch to electronic began when, at a rave, he realized how much he loved that dirty electro bass. So he naturally began experimenting with different DAW’s, finally settling on Ableton Live. Lanky ShankZ. and ColdHands WarmHeart (formerly Pills Rx), in the dynamic duo Da Livin’ Bassheadz have played shows in their native Victoria at such venues as the Baja Grill, Sunset Room, UVic’s Felicita’s, and Lucky Bar once closing for Celebrity Traffic.
      As a producer, he has done recording and mix-down work for such artists as Aborn Ablaze. Lanky ShankZ. has also entered remix competitions from the likes of AN21 & Max Vangeli, Paul Loeb, and Monty . His own tracks have been mixed in DJ sets by The Agency, with whom he is currently working on a project in collaboration. For now, though, his main focus is on building his repertoire of original mixes. “My goal is to have enough killer originals to perform along with other artists’ tracks, and some day have a gig in Brazil!” Lanky ShankZ. credits Darth&Vader as his main influence, followed by Lazy Rich, and then a host of others including Streetcleaner, Far Too Loud, Eric Farias, Chizz Luvly, FTampa, Wolfgang Gartner, Deadmau5, Porter Robinson, Ryan Enzed, Hirshee, Starkillers, King Kornelius, Soulfix, and many more.
      This eclectic mix has given Lanky ShankZ.’s music a unique direction, one rooted in the simplicity of Wolfgang Gartner- or Deadmau5-style Electro House, and combined with the off-beat bass of the Brazilian sound. “I would say what sets my music apart from other producers in Canada is there isn't really anyone else trying to get that Brazilian sound right now,” Lanky ShankZ explains. “There are a few putting out Brazilian bangers in the US, but I can only think of a couple. And what sets me apart from the producers in Brazil would be all the influences of other artists like Wolfgang Gartner, Deadmau5, and Porter Robinson.” You can hear these influences in Lanky ShankZ.’s use of drums, synth work, and his incorporation of glitch noises.
      Lanky ShankZ’s work is subtle but varied. His tracks often build slowly and fade slowly, but in general are far from predictable. You don’t know exactly where they’re going to take you. Sometimes the bass will drop hard; sometimes it won’t drop at all. Sometimes drums will be heavily emphasized, sometimes synth melody, as in “John Joshua & Keyone Sellers - Wolfgang who - Lanky ShankZ. Wolfmau5 Re-Fix”. Sometimes vocal effects, glitch sounds, sub-bass or all of the above, “Lanky ShankZ.- eL3ctrolux (Original Mix)”. This subtle unpredictable dynamicity also describes Lanky ShankZ. as an artist: he’s going somewhere, but probably only he could guess where.
