<\/span><\/div>\n
Give a brief description of your styles\/genres<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“I’d love to say Synthwave, but I’m not. I’m more Dark House with synthwave elements.”<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

What gear do you use?<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
“I use a completely hardware setup. I use FruityLoops 11 to send MIDI signals to all my Synths and Drum machines which I send through a mixer before I record. The setup I use consists of two MicroKorgs, two Alesis SR16 Drum Machines, a Volcabass and a Volcakeys. The SR16s are what primarily pushes my music into the Dark House genre.”<\/o:p><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
What gear do you have your eyes on?<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
“One of the best things I’ve done recently for my music has been to stop looking for new gear. I’m sticking with what I have justnow and really taking the time to learn my gear inside out and so far it’s definitely paying off.”<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Who would you say your biggest inspiration has been musically?<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
“Without a shadow of a doubt; Daft Punk. I can’t find a track of theirs that hasn’t inspired me to try and emulate their sound.”<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

Where was your best gig?<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
“A club in my local high street, Broadcast, where I managed to include some live Native American flute playing into my mix. Managing to stop a crowd instantly and then pull them back into the beat was a pretty good feeling.”<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

Any worst gigs?<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
“When I use to play guitar, plenty!”<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
What’s your thoughts on sampling and sample packs?<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
“Personally I choose to create everything myself from scratch but if someone can make something good with samples then go for it! I want to hear it!”<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

Digital or analogue?<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
“Different sounds. Why not use both?”<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
What song do you wish was yours?<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
“Run by iamthekidyouknowwhatimean. That detuned synth ostinato that plays throughout? Damn. It’s like an anti-hero of a riff.”<\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
