"I think u will always win and loose people when u vary in style, but I take the risk"

I read that you prefer to make your live sets on MPC than with a laptop, a choice that fits the stage, if I've been following well. Can you explain us how you envision those two steps? live/stage. You also play live drums?
Yeah, I prefer to play with MPC's to activate something more visual for the public. At my place I produce on a PC, then I reconstruct phases and transfer on my MPC, this allows me to improvise during live performances.
(euh live drums?) euh...yeah, I play live on the pads, the beats, the synths, the sounds, the bass all at the same time, sometimes even the growling of my cat!

You are a producer that likes to do a lot of collaborations. What are the next ones? Or any remixes? What do you think are your most remarkable collaborations? Some dreams on that level?
Architeq will bring out a maxi with remixes of his track Birds of Prey, on Tirk Records. There is one remix of me, one of Debruit (my friend from Music Large) and one of James Pants. I will also do a maxi on the label One Handed (London) with artists like Bullion and Paul White. And Wireblock, the label of Jackmaster (with records of Hudson Mo, Rustie...) also would like to do a release!
Collaborations aren't really my priority at the moment, I did one with 215 the freshest kids and Tita Lima or D3CCPT, but that is more for the album. A project I would like to do is to do a duo with Dorian Concept, who did a remix of Chico on Low Club EP. He's a genius, and I think we have a similar taste in sounds and breaks. He's even on a level that I can't reach. My dream...mmmm.. a collaboration with Q Tip, the best MC in the world, man!
For me at least!
 
Is there already a "number 3" at Music Large (Fulgeance immediately got signed for 3 Ep's and an album...)? What do you have in store for the near future, and the not so near future?
Yes, it will arrive really soon, but the album is still in preparation. It's my first album and I prefer to take my time. For Music Large there will be another Débruit, a mini album of Onra, I think, and we would also like to do a maxi with Take, who fits well with the label, in our opinion.
 
Can you tell us more about your label?
Music Large was created as an impulsive decision following the Tribute to Masakela, on the Chico EP (it was for a contest for Wax Poetics). My friend Pierre aka Rekick created the label with Pantone, and from that time everything started out serious.
Pantone isn't part of this anymore, so right now I'm more involved in Music Large and taking a bigger role in the label. Everything is going better and better and through the artists the label is growing a lot bigger.

Any tour coming up? When are you arranging a date in Brussels with 1000 names?
Ahahaha! I'm not the booker, its up to you to spread the information and to interest people in booking me! Spread the word!!
For now I'm happy about the tour, Vilnius with his collective Mondayjazz invited me again, Nancy with l'Autre Canal is supporting the project, I'm leaving for the first time to the USA, to Columbus (Ohio) and Ann Arbor (Michigan). fEUx, an austrian beatmaker invited me with three dates together with Dorian Concept, so everything goes really well, and I have a hard time believing it for once....heheheh....!!!
 
Some suggestions for the InYourBass readers?
The last Matthew Herbert Big Band or the maxi of Dorian Concept (Maximized) on Affine Records.

Who is Rupture? (the crew)
Rupture is run by Double O & Mantra and our resident dj's include Equinox, Panka, Bekah, Hades & Theory. Blackeye, Fozz, Joker D and Bassline host the night.

How did it come about?
We started Rupture 2 years ago when there was only really one party every month or so that we would go to and feel like the music was on point. We deceided to try and do our own thing. Our first party was at Dingwalls a 400 capacity club on a Sunday night...we half  filled it  and we learned a lot from that night , dont start off with too high expectations!

Who are the main headz?
Mantra : I started dj'ing when I was 16, got myself on internet radio and eventually started playing out around 2002. I've played at various venues around London, including Turnmills, Ministry of Sound & Herbal. I've also played abroad in Poland, Italy and New York. I tend to play the darker more experimental sounds but also love up my deepness. D-Bridge kills it on that front for me.  I've been getting into production more over the last couple of years and really want to focus on that as much as possible.

Double O : I  got into the scene around the time of electro and breakdancing. Started dj'ing around '89 and making beats soon followed that. Labels I have had releases on include Formation (1994), DZR, and Lab Logic.

What is your role in d&b?
We dj, produce beats and run Rupture.

What do you think of D&B these dayz?
We think that a lot of the more underground producers don't get the recognition they deserve. It's really hard to get your music signed as there is a lot lesser music being put out. Having said that, there are so many wicked producers comIng with a really fresh exciting sound. People like Nolige, Resound, Dub One, Blocks, Reactive, Data, Escher, Nebula, Ben E, Threshold, Social Engineer.

You guyz make beats?
Yeah- Double O more than Mantra though!

With what do you work?
Double O : I use PC and Cubase  
Mantras : I recently upgraded to a Mac that's running Logic

Who are your influences? Mantra : Dj wise, Randall, Equinox, Loxy, Kemisty & Storm. I was too young to go ravin to people like Dillinja, Photek, Dj Crystal, Wax Doctor, Source Direct back in the day but those sounds still have a huge influence on me. There's a few producers coming with a proper heavy sound,  real moody darkness which I'm proper feeling. Cylon beats and producers such as Escher, Data & The Untouchables are abolutely heavyweight!

Double O :  My brothers' reggae sound system which I grew up with, Detroit Techno, Hip Hop, & Soul. Back in the day the dj's i rated were Grooverider, Randall, Frankie Valentine, Winston Hazel

What advice would u give to peeps who are startin' out?
If you are going to run a night you have to be totally committed and dedicated. Our second birthday was our best party yet, pure vibes and ram, it makes all the long cold nights of flyering worth it!  Also if you're starting out as a dj or producer believe in your sound and make music from  your heart, try and create your own vibe, and always be humble and be willing to take positive criticism.

What is commin' up? (bookin', rupture nightz, or realeses)
We just had our second birthday which went proper well so we will hopefully have another date before the end of the year. Double O has some music forthcoming on Mac2 , Rythm Seeker, Hidden Hawaii and Syncopathic Audio.

What are your plans for the future? (where would u like to take Rupture)
We have found our dream venue in Corsica Studios. It has such a heavy sound system and the space and vibe of the venue is perfect. We will hopefully be runnin' 4 parties a year, spacing them out can make sure we take our time with the line ups and  make sure that we put in 100% to the promotion.

“NOTHING BUT THE BEATS”

Deep inside “offbeat music” with Mr Beatnick
by code314

How did it happen ? One day, you are watching some Flying Lotus or Samiyam live performances at Low End Theory club in Los Angeles, on Youtube. The day after you are listening to some Bulgarian 1000names smashing tunes on MySpace. The third day, scotish Hudson Mohawke is playing on your turntables. Well, you got it, you caught the bug... Obviously, something exciting is pumping... and it hasn't even got a real name yet.

Few months ago, I received a message from Brussels Mc Kalonji aka Dr Kwest : “off beat music is the real next dope”. The Hell, man, what and who is offbeat ? New genre ? new move ? where is it located ? What does that name mean?
Furthermore, I discovered that this music was now “mixed” in some ways with London dubstep. Sounds heavy... The real big next step? The morphed Hip-hop revenge? Let’s have some explanations.

FlyLo rules the world
First strike and most visible representative is Flying Lotus himself, alias Steven Ellison. Story is well know : After an album on Plug Research (1983), the Los Angeles musician has been signed on Warp Records in 2007 : great Reset EP on warp, and then the release in june of his LP “Los Angeles” with amazing tracks. Self described as a computer man and a child of the Nintendo generation, “FlyLo” is now definitely the icon of this new weird hip-hop.
But Beatnick got a wider point of view...
After some research on the web, I luckily found a guy who could give me more informations : Mr Beatnick, alias Nick Wilson, from London, 26 years beat producer (first loop at sixteen on amiga 500), dj (a warm up for madlib and jay dilla at the Montreux festival...), makes frequently great set on deepfrequency.org , has released “I know all the bitches” with featuring by Ahu / Dolly (who made some feat on flylo album), underground activist, party promotor, related to other great hip-hop producers Bullion & Paul White and to Gilles Peterson from BBC/radio1. As if it was not enough, coCreator with Charles II of Shhhh records mix series. The guy knows the “business” , got a good intuition and deep knowledge of this “new” beat scene : “I have watched it evolve around me from years”.
“Not surprisingly the main artists that people have heard of are Flying Lotus and his L.A. cohorts - Samiyam, Gaslamp, says Beatnick, obviously with the amount of promo / coverage for FlyLo / brainfeeder they are getting lots of attention. But actually the dark wonky electronic beats exist all around the world. For him, FLyLo doesn’t resume everything : “brainfeeder release (release of FlyLo warp LP in London - ndlr) was only the top of iceberg” What really matters is the whole community sharing this nu vibe via the web, with each time particular unique voices. “Its all around ! its a bunch of friends, a lifestyle, people community sharing music”.
Let’s appreciate his unexhaustive list made by Nick :

Hudson Mohawke, Mike Slott, Rustie, Lucky Me crew, All City Records dublin for Scotland & Ireland.

Labels in

Amsterdam / Netherlands: Eat Concrete, Kindred Spirits, Cinnaman, Tom Trago, Mamiko Motto aka 1.1 (check for her radio shows on Samurai.fm).

London / England: Lukid, 2Tall, Morgan Zarate, Steve Spacek , Jackhigh, Mark Pritchard (Harmonic 313), Danny Breaks, Bullion /Paul White, Soundspecies, Burntprogress // CDR crew, Analog Jones, Tightface.

Japan: Circulations (label), Jazzysport (label) - roster includes Grooveman Spot, Budamunky, Dj Mitsu The Beats.

Turkey: Onur Engin, Ahu aka Dolly.

Bulgaria: 1000 names .

Are you still there? Or already myspacing? Obviously a lot more than the L.A. stuff as you see. “Right now, in this "beat" music all you have is people combining lots of influences their own feels and inspirations”.
It has been a challenge to make the connection : “someone like Paul White sounds nothing like Rustie but if you like one, you might quite like the other”. And that is an evidence that you can hear. For Beatnick, The first one who made the link between those people is Andrew Meza. Andrew made a show on a college radio (www.btsradio.net). He was the first to play Hudson Mohawke, Flying lotus , etc. This young 23 years old guy has really connected the dots between nu beatmakers.

Beatmaking
So what is that music, what’s the connection between all those producers ? According to Nick, this is not really a genre. For him “it might be more a way of thinking”. Everything starts from the beat. Its about beatmaking “beatmaking is the process. the result is all about personality”. Even if it’s at a final point a lot more than beats, you can't name it otherwise then “making beats”. This is the starting point. Nothing else.
To get more in this, let me recommend to read the article written by our guest, on Shook Mag : “From Tokyo to Tashkent, Paris to Glasgow, Los Angeles to Lisbon, a new made-up sound is mashing up bedroom speakers, influenced equally by classic hip-hop productions, ’80s film references, Nintendo library sounds and a shaolin self-discipline… From Flying Lotus to Hudson Mohawke, ill dubbio to 1000names, Bullion to Pursuit Grooves, this is the beat generation smashing things up”.

Foundations
Mr Beatnick’s hip-hop memories are the story of this offbeat music : Lets rediscover hip-hop history with him : roots in Afrika Bambaataa, Diamond D, Jam Master Jay, Raymond Scott. Right after those foundations, second wave with Run DMC, The Wu, etc. was the time when beat production has been invented in the modern sense. “and later that morphed into enjoying mowax, and early ninja stuff; and all that stuff in the tradition of early hip hop, which was progressive in the "prog" sense as well as being, the roots of the style as a production art lots of raw breaks, mad synth samples. Then later, I went to shows and watched those same artists from the mowax era innovate this london music, or this west london music, "broken beat" which was a crap tag line for what was a really innovate music style. the early work there by dego, seiji, alex phountzi, phil asher, daz and especially kaidi tatham really caught my ear” As you see, this is a long story that has lead to the offbeat, and those words would need many more to be complete.
However everything in music got a long story. We may say: hip-hop has made a new turn with this weird/wonky nu sound that has now “a wider audience". That part is definitely true. And now the “beat scene” is deeply reaching and gaining Europe.

Now, what about dubstep ?
When you ask Beatnick what is happening exactly in London between dubstep and offbeat. He says: For me, Flylo broke through and has merged the audiences a lot. At FWD parties, Alex nutt for example plays fresh beats . Mark Pritchard, big fan of dubstep is also signed on Warp. And that is correct, examples are not missing : Samiyam EP on Hyperdub, Gaslamp mixing DMZ stuff in L.A., Kode9 vs Flying lotus mixes (the famous versus mix on rinse fm...) and remixes... lots of people are joining the worlds since end 2007 or help cross them.
For the London release of the Los Angeles LP at Brainfeeder, Flylo had indeed decided to invite some monsters from LA and some unbeatable local heroes : Kode9 & DMZ from London, and some Glasgow killers as Rustie and Hudson Mohwake. Insane party... as you can imagine. This party has mixed with happiness the bass and the beats as wanted by Flylo. The first time both worlds were consciously merged. This may be, or not, the end of the first wave of dubstep producers (and when you see Skream and Benga on stage at the Red Bull Academy show in Barcelona...well, you could think you are far away from the Brixton the spirit), the beginning of a second era ? Let’s see what is gonna happen now. Exciting isn’t ?

Conclusions:
1 : Buy a plane ticket and go directly to Low End Theory club in L.A.; the basecamp of LA offbeat.
2 : Enjoy London side of the offbeat with Mr Beatnick : monthly last Friday Shhhh party @ Gramaphone or Burntprogress parties CDR @ Plastic People. Check Beatnick for more underground informations cause offbeat music doesn’t come in usual venues...
3 : Maybe easier and certainly less expensive : don’t miss FLyLo live performance @ Botanique on 26th November... I’ll be there, will you ?

1. Introduce yourself briefly to the InYourBass readers. Your name, location?
I'm David, and I'm currently in Leeds for a few days.

2. Can you explain where your name is coming from?
I made it up when I was 13 or so, it doesn't have any significance or relevance to my music (laughs). Right now I'm 20 years old. It's not meant to be funny or anything like that, when i made it up it was just because it rhymes.?I did get a message the other day from this Muslim guy and we had a really interesting chat actually. Anyway it's not an offensive name and it has no relevance to my music. For example if I called myself 'Christmas man' or 'Easter man', would that be offensive?

3. When did you start to produce and what sort of stuff? 
I started making music on computers when I was 11 or 12 i think. I didn't really know what I was making at the time, but listening back now it was quite trancey, and also quite jungle influenced. At that time I was mostly listening to euphoric trance, hip hop such as KRS One and the Beastie Boys, and also LTJ Bukem. And yeah they definitely influenced what I was making. When I was about 14 I started buying records in the Soho area of London. I found the shop Vinyl Junkies who are very friendly guys and they helped me out and I learned a lot through what they gave to me to listen. So yeah that's how I got into house music.

4. When did u start to dj and what sort of stuff ?
I bought my first decks when I was about 13 or 14 years old. I didn't really understand the distinction between hip hop DJs who scratch etc and beatmatching DJs. So from my interest in hip hop I became interested in DJing because i would see DJs on the TV scratching records and I thought it was cool (laughs). At that time I was listening to House, Trance, Drum and Bass, Hip Hop, some Dub... And I had a metal phase like most kids! I think at that teenage time it's a search for the most extreme music. But when I first got decks I got to know beatmatching and how house and techno DJs mix. And i got a fair few euro trance records that came with my decks so I learned how to mix on those, because they were very simple both structurally and rythmically. I didn't try to mix hip hop or anything and I didn't lose my interest in it, I just didn't want to DJ it. When I was a bit older I knew some other people at school who were into it so I swapped a few things there. At that time I had no gigs, and I wasn’t trying to get myself out there, making tunes was my main focus. I first played at a friends party the night of the dmz birthday when it all moved upstairs actually (laughs). Then my first proper gig was at the legendary Red Star on Thursdays which was run by Clandestine. That was jokes!

5. So from those early days how did u get introduced to dubstep?
I was making some grime instrumentals and posting them online etc, this was around 2004-5. Someone said that one of my beats sounded like dubstep, which was a genre I hadn’t heard of at the time. Once I started listening to dubstep I was strongly influenced by what I was hearing. most of my first efforts were pretty crap, although a couple still sound quite fresh today. I remember some tunes such as ‘Toasty’s - Like Sun’ and ‘Distance - Saints and Sinners’ and a few others stood out for me. I downloaded a few mixes, and also there was a thread on  the forum ‘Dogs On Acid’ for people who were making this stuff. My first 'proper' release was Response on Bare Dubs. That came out....in december 2006 i think. I had done a digital release before them with Dynamic Balancing and Hungarian Skank. Hungarian Skank was also featured on the Sub Stance compilation released on Aeclectrick Records. Markle from 2ND Drop Records wanted to put out Good Feeling, funny enough that was maybe going to come on Hessle at first. I also did a couple of other digital releases.

6. How did Souljazz Records started out ?
I'd been going into the shop in central London for a bit…I sold them direct some Bare Dubs Records. Then one day they asked for a CD, so I worked really hard on finishing some tunes because it was a big honour for me that they asked. They liked a couple of tracks and putted one (Every Next Day) on the ‘Box of Dub’ CD. Then eventually we managed to find some more tunes for a single, which took a bit longer to find stuff we both liked. Then Carla, Offal, Kablammo 11 came out on a 12". There is another 12' in preparation for them…

7. Tell us a bit about Hessle Audio. Can you explain the name?
Hessle Audio started  out in January 2007. TRG sent some big tunes, I had planned to start a label anyway and it seemed like the right time with those tunes. Ben UFO and Kev aka Pangaea were interested too so we worked on it together. We didn't really have any plans about the label direction or sound. About the name, Ben and Kev used to live on a road called Hessle Terrace I think it was… We spent ages trying to think of a name. Then eventually settled on this. We're very happy with it! It is in Leeds Hyde Park area.

8. U are collaborating with 2 other guys. Please tell us a bit about them.
Ben UFO is a DJ from London who's been into the sound for a while. Kev produces as Pangaea, and used to live with Ben. Anyway, we all went to university in Leeds. Pangaea is into quite a bit of ambient stuff, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop etc, as well as techno, and Ben likes a wide variety of music, and is especially into drum and bass

9. What are your criteria’s for releasing a tune on Hessle Audio ?
In my opinion, originality, longevity are important. So we don’t really have a situation where one of us really wants to release something and the rest no.

?10. What's the equipment you are using to produce your tunes ?
Fruity loops, a midi keyboard with some knobs and some Adam monitors. I have a lot of random equipment such as old keyboards, FX, and tape players etc, but I don’t use them very often. I have classic music training but stopped that around 12 or 13. A lot of my production learning was intuitive, I didn't have anyone to teach me so I learned a lot through trial and error, as well as the internet…It took me months to work out that there were two modes in Fruity Loops, Song and pattern! Then gradually i learned how to EQ properly and since I got monitors I have realised it's all about that really. I’ve learned a lot from having my tunes mastered by Transition in London as well as at other mastering houses. Each time you go you definitely pick up another tip or bits of advice.

11. As a dj what sort of stuff are you playin? Do u pay attention to what the crowd is requesting or do u propose a specific selection ?
As a DJ I try to play quite a wide selection and what I play will vary night to night. One encouraging thing recently has been that people seem to be a lot more open minded at the moment…I can drop straight house and techno into my sets, as well as some really experimental tunes and people are still interested. As a DJ you should pay attention to what the crowd is feeling, but I think a lot of the time it's more about how you mix the tunes and in what order what affects the atmosphere more than anything…Playing three really hype wobblers in a row for example, it reduces the impact of each of them. But say drop a hype wobbly tune after taking the mood down for a couple of tunes, it can be really effective. I think variety is very important anyhows. I haven't played a lot in Europe yet but the crowd can be a bit more enthusiastic, as if they feel it's more of a special occasion out there. Also I really enjoy travelling and playing in Europe and abroad is really an honour!

12. What are the dubstep labels you're digging the most?
Well all the obvious ones really : Tectonic, Hyperdub, Dmz, Punch Drunk, Tempa, Big Apple, Hotflush, Skull Disco, etc I've probably forgotten some…But i also like people such as 7even who are doing their own thing. People like Ramp, Appleblim, Tube 10, Hemlock and Soul Motive doing interesting things. Obviously a lot of others i am probably forgetting too…In the international scene : Jus Wan, Dub u, Shiva, Clouds, 2562 , Martyn, Sharmaji, …I played some Eskmo in the past… Spherix, Rq, Trg… Most stuff I play is by UK guys, it’s not really a conscious decision though. It seems there are some labels that are releasing disposable tunes. It's more the fault of certain distributors in my opinion.  I think that not everything has to be released if you see what I mean…

13. I heard you're about to move in France. Explain that a bit in case some continental promoters could be interested to book u!
Yeah I'm moving to Lille for a year or so as part of my university degree to teach some kids in a lycee. So it will be a great experience ! And Lille is very well connected to the rest of Europe (smiles) …

14. What are your coming gigs?
I am playing in the Ukraine next weekend which is going to be wicked. It's on the same day as their independence day, so I am sure the atmosphere will be special! Then I’ll play at the Outlook Festival in Croatia. Ukraine - 24th aug Outlook - 30th aug London - 27th aug Bristol - 19th sept Ghent - 11 oct Eindhoven - 17th oct.

15. Any forthcoming releases to announce?
A further single on Soul Jazz, a tune on Tempa, and remix work for Immerse and a couple of other labels… Pangaea 12" is dropping soon on Hessle Audio.

Could you tell me about your new album?
Well in short, the album took 3 years too long to make, there were several times during the making process that I thought I was going insane. But now finally I can listen to it without slashing my wrists.

What’s your main influence on the album?
My main influence is Jamaïcan music: dub music, reggae music, dancehall. Cause for me the most exciting producers are generally Jamaïcan producers. Cause their audience tends to look forward instead of ahead.

Where did you pick up that dancehall inspiration?
It didn’t make any sense cause no one I knew was into dancehall, and I still started listening to it. But I was so attract to the experimentation, the fact that every new riddem sounded totally unpredictable. There were just incredible producers and mc’s. Very intense lyrics.

What is the biggest difference between your previous album Pressure and London Zoo?
Primaraly: choruses, I think it’s catchier, and I wanted it to be catchier. Also I was working with these mc’s before I made this record, so there was a relationship. Whereas with Pressure I basically worked with a lot of people that were new to me. I wasn’t used back then to collaborate with mc’s, I just took what they gave me. But on this album I directed it, I produced it.

On what basis do you choose your mc’s?
I just choose people that I think are really talented and who got something really special to offer. I try to find people who have their own voice, for me it’s important that musicians, producers, vocalists have their own voice. A lot of mc’s and producers copy other people far too much. The people I work with in my opinion have found their own voice, and are instantly recognisable.

Do you prefer to do vocal tracks above instrumental tracks?
Definitely. There is more humanity, there is more a collaboration, there is more emotion. I love instrumental music and I make instrumental music but generally there is something about a voice that takes me trough another level.

Who would you like to work with in the future?
There is always a huge list. I wanted to work with Dizzee Rascal and Roots Manuva for a long time. But that has never happened. But there’s always new people, I just got back from China and Japan, and I worked with an amazing female mc from Japan called Rumi (http://www.myspace.com/mcrumi). I’m always on the lookout for new people.

Talking about female mc’s, do you have any future plans with Ladybug?
There is gonna be an album for sure. The Bug album took way too long to finish. So for me it was a real struggle. The King Midas Sound album that I’m recording for Hyperdub and the Ladybug album are both on hold. I’m working on the King Midas Sound album at the moment, next will be the Ladybug album.

Thank you.
