In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I used to be a drummer back in my teens, as I loved the freedom of making complicated rhythms that don't traditionally fit into most music. The ideas in my head could never fully translate to the drumkit... until I discovered an app called Sony Acid.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Jon Hopkins, Immunity Nathan Fake, Blizzards Noisia, Split the Atom (Special Edition) Hopkins, Fake + Noisia are 3 artists that continue to break-genres and go beyond traditional thinking when writing music. I love their complexity with balancing emotion with unique, complex bass-lines and drum rhythms. They have always inspired me.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Invasion” 'Invasion' was my favourite to make in the SOS EP - I really enjoyed mixing these early-trance melodies into grungy, dark bass-lines that would traditionally be found in drum & bass. The energy and rhythm the track holds always gets me moving.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Definitely has to be playing at Rainbow Serpent Festival 2018. Rainbow holds a special place in my heart as it really awoke my Techno obsession when I was 18. To then being on stage, playing my music to thousands 7 yrs later was a dream come true.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Absolutely, every year always feels like a beginning to a new chapter. I will forever strive to experience new musical opportunities when they present themselves. My secret three would be playing at - Berghain, Burning Man and Boiler Room.
