Speaking of the new generation, you have been acting as a mentor for years now and during the pandemic also started the video series Adapt the Canvas. I’m a student right now so I’m open to the level of experimentation they expose me to. Creating new sound palettes, arrangements. They’re using technology in new and exciting ways. They are the rebels, the new disrupters, the troublemakers. How do you perceive the new generation of UK-based producers generally, what kind of developments have you witnessed that excite you? And what makes those three special in your eyes and ears? Deeper into what’s out there – technology, spirituality, psychedelics, the metaverse.įor a recently released remix package, you enlisted your brother Flynn and Masters At Work, but also younger artists like LCY, Hodge and Batu. Sometimes I fall off, some times it’s a work in progress, with The Edge of Everything it’s opening a doorway to where I’m heading next. With my music, I’m exploring the outer realms of the edge. I like the energy of dance music but the format for me doesn’t push the possibility of what could be. I don’t really think about music like that, I write how it comes out. What significance does the album format have for you in the context of club music, and what made you return to the format after such a long time? You yourself however have released The Edge of Everything, your first album in 14 years, just last year.
The list interestingly did not feature any dance music albums, at least not in the strict sense of the term.
Then when I go on my quest, I see what insights come from it. I want to break it down into all its components and meditate on that for a few months and see how it affects me, where it takes me, what doors it opens up. I try get as much info about the studio, equipment, mindset, story. When I listen to music I’m breaking it down, trying to understand what’s happening – what they think the way they do, what makes them do what they do, what their influences are. Aside from their obvious influence on you as a music fan, did these records also have an impact on you as a producer? In a recent “Baker’s Dozen” feature for the online magazine The Quietus, you spoke about your twelve favourite records of all times, among them LPs by Public Enemy, Run the Jewels and Kanye West. How has the experience been so far?Įverything is basically the same as it was, people enjoying themselves with a sense that we’re free thrown in. You have played a few gigs since clubs reopened in the UK.
