INTERVIEWS

It’s 2am. Cigarette smoke fills the greenroom. The air reeks of Jägermeister and Redbull as dubstep and drum&bass loudly penetrate through a half-open door. This was the situation in which I met Voliik in person. A classic ‘club moment’ which, however, in retrospect took on a romantic feeling, as only a few weeks later the world went on lockdown and…

NEOTEK is a name many recognize in the music scene for his jaw-dropping sound design and distinctive bass-induced madness. However, the Australian artist is not just a producer; he’s a mentor, a performer, and a visionary in the world of bass music. While dedicating his time to teaching and sharing his skills with students, his impact is especially strong in…

In 2013, I had the pleasure of discovering Soulection. This label was and still is an absolute titan of the SoundCloud music scene, pushing forward-thinking and soulful house music for well over a decade now. I can’t count how many artists I’ve discovered thanks to their expert curation, but I’d like to introduce one of my favorites here. I heard…

If you’re reading this, it’s probably safe to say that you’re a fan of electronic music. I think it’s time we give a little bit of the limelight back to live instrumentation. The raw, organic sound of a violin or a piano can easily get lost in the DAW. All the nuanced details that can be changed after-the-fact with software…

Despite running around like a chicken with my head cut off for much of last weekend’s Infrasound Music Festival in an effort to catch as much as possible, I was fortunate enough to have a chance to sit down with UK drum and bass icon BCee. With a career spanning a full 23 years and counting, he is a certified…

We are supposed to be invincible on our birthdays. I believe, childishly, that we become Starmen who are impervious to harm for 24 hours. Yet, on the evening of March 15, 2023, high off of a shit ton of shrooms, Jireh is alone. No family or friends compiled in his home, lilting “happy birthday” off-key as his full moon eyes…

Bursting onto our radar with a barrage of bizarre and banging releases on Quality Goods Records, Hypergeneration has captivated our attention with a sound that fuses hyperpop, hard-hitting trap, and an underlying social commentary on our addiction to technology and social media. The dichotomy between the internet-inspired sound and the critique of our need for constant over-stimulation creates an intriguing…

Untitld is one hell of an aficionado when it comes to murky beats. For nearly a decade now he has been pushing his own unique sonic blend of left-field bass and has the credentials to back it up. One of the original members of the Lost Dogz crew with the likes of EAZYBAKED and Abelation, Untitld has since seen releases…

Exciting and exhilarating are only a couple of ways to describe the power behind the Strobez vision. This artist’s strive and perseverance have continued to shock and impress listeners from all over. Creating an array of hype and eagerness around every move he makes in his journey. Tapping into multiple genres within the electronic spectrum and making a highly acclaimed…

cali.xo has always been a unique voice within the wave scene. Her ambient-oriented approach to the genre has always made her my go-to artist when it comes to minimalist, emotional bass music or, as she puts it, dark romantically driven music. Songs like ‘deja vu’, ‘lust’ and ‘feelsohigh’, just to name a few of my personal favourites from her discography,…
