Where are you currently based?
London
How did you first start producing and mixing?
I came from a rock and metal background originally. I was never into actual instruments myself but my friends were and I loved being around that environment. I was lucky enough to have a computer at the time, and managed to start teaching myself how to produce. I was then introduced to Pendulum who were obviously the only people doing rock and drum and bass at that time, and it sort of stemmed from there.
How did your career start?
I got in with Monstercat when they just started, around 2010. I put out a few beat sample packs with them, but then Mike Darlington really encouraged me to go farther and that’s when I put out my first EP, The Takeover.
How has your COVID experience been so far?
It’s given me more time to work on music that’s for sure. I probably wouldn’t have finished the album as quick as I did if I had still been touring. It’s been rough not being able to test my songs live though!
What influenced the sound and songwriting for your epic new album ‘The Promised Land’?
The whole album was inspired by a lot of different themes, mainly how nature and technology clash and interact. There wasn’t any particular moment that inspired the entire album but I went on a journey of discovery for the past couple of years, listening to a broader range of music and tying my vast range of influences into the album.
What did you find most challenging and rewarding through the process of creating this album?
This is my debut album so the finished product was the most rewarding. The most challenging was probably admitting that it was done, because I’m always looking to keep improving the tracks!
Your sound has evolved from the stereotypical Drum ‘n Bass sound to a more mature and cross-genre sound, please tell us about how and why this has come about:
The main thing that I wanted to do with the album was start expanding from drum ‘n’ bass and start doing other genres. People have this impression of me, because I make drum ‘n’ bass all the time, that I only listen to drum ‘n’ bass and that’s completely untrue. People who know me know I listen to and love literally all kinds of music.
I love everything from, as I say, film and video game scores to screamo to french house to electro house to old school garage to whatever. You name it! I listen to everything. I really tried to hone that in when I pulled influences for the album, just to show people that it doesn’t have to come from drum ‘n’ bass at all. A lot of them don’t even come from dance music. Very rarely, except maybe some sound design and mixdown things.
The main goal with it was to start introducing MUZZ as a multigenre brand and artist rather than drum ‘n’ bass only.
Where do you see Drum ‘n Bass progressing in the coming years?
The future of any genre is to evolve it and mash it with other styles and new sounds, which is what I’ve always done since I started making music, and this album explores those new territories. I love the genre, and always will, but I also love many other genres and don’t want to close those doors.
What do you like to do outside of music?
Gaming, food, traveling!
Which artists are you listening to at the moment?
Grimes, Rezz, Charli XCX, Fade Black, Oakwite, Loathe, G Jones are currently on repeat for me.
What is planned for the remainder of 2020?
Just to continue promoting this album as much as possible. It’s been such a process having it come together, I’m so happy it’s finally out!
Favourite food and place to hangout?
You can’t beat Middle Eastern food, and I honestly just love being in my studio in my own world.

Interviewer: Anthony Huttley
So, Danny, you’ve got a few aliases, DNYO, Danny Olivera, Danny Loko… any more we should be aware of? Or just the 3?
There are a few more. These I like to keep hidden from the public. DNYO and Danny Oliveira already confuses people, imagine if they knew the other ones 
Tell me about São Paulo. What’s the music scene like there?
Big metropolis. Lot’s of everything really. My fav city in Brazil for sure, great night life, best food, best service. Culture speaks very loud in São Paulo, so the music is always kicking.
How did you get involved in the scene there?
I started making my own little parties, soon enough I started spinning at local clubs. But after living abroad I had a much better experience when coming back. Times were good. This was 2005 I think. There were lots of groups of different tribes making the night of the city back then. I miss how simple it was and the effect it made on so many.
Have you always been into electronic music?
Pretty much since I was 14. I got into my first club night when I was 15. I used to sneak into a few clubs at that point back in Miami. By 16 I was already hooked on Oakenfold, PVD, Tenaglia, Sanches, Calr Cox, all of the ones that came to South Florida, I was there.
How would you describe your sound/the music that you play?
If I’m spinning straight up techno Danny Oliveira night, that sound is not the typical Pop “Business” Techno you hear these days, as I don’t like the usual, never did, so the sound is considered to be designed differently, when there’s time for “loops” they will be there, when there’s time for serious arrangements and progressions, they will be there as well. If I’m spinning as DNYO, then it’s a whole different world. It’s deeper, sometimes melodic, but mostly hypnotic. I go through big chunks of House and Techno as a base and DNYO comes out. It’s a mixture of a lot of things put into one, there are no rules for DNYO, but it does concentrate more fans alike around the Progressive House styles.
What’s been happening recently? Any releases that we should keep our ears out for?
Lately I’ve been working on a few ideas with some friends. These, consist of making a move towards some new ground for music here in Brazil, it’s a slow process due to our current situation in the world. I have some music due to come out on Juicebox India and Timeless Moment still this year but we’ll have to wait and see.
What have been your most memorable gigs over the last couple of years?
Hmmm, Hyderabad last October. I get the chills just thinking about it. Forest Peak 2 years ago, it’s an intimate techno experience up in the mountains of Rio, that was something to remember. Spun at D.edge with a couple of friends, very close and intimate night, lots of friends came out, special night.
What are the best clubs for underground tunes in Sao Paulo?
Probably D.edge is the only place to go as a club with an underground agenda.
Where can we hear you DJ?
Really underground parties when I spin techno. DNYO gets way more exposure and dates outside of Brazil. We will have to wait for this pandemic to pass and see what holds for the industry, so that many of us can start planning again.
Are you on the streaming bandwagon like the rest of the world? Or will we have to wait until this whole thing blows over?
I’m not on that wagon, I’m outside, like a drone. Just flying through, watching and consequentially waiting for that wagon to crash and eventually die. The Napster People. It’s unbelievable how millions of artists and musicians simply let these smart guys take away their rights. Pull it from the inside out and drain it for 14% of 1 cent on the Dollar. No wonder the world is at where it is these days.
Can you give us your top 3 plugs in the studio at the moment?
Ovox from Waves is really good. Parallels from Softube and Thermal by Output.
Any advice for budding producers looking to go down the rabbit hole?
They can dive in and fight their way through, hopefully they can come in with some history in their heads cause this, where we are right now, is far from being the best model of an industry. Or they can stay in wonderland. This is the worst time to be a musician/ producer/ let alone a DJ. It has been for a couple of long years. I’m doing it because I still have some fuel left in me. Not everybody does. That fuel comes from a lot of things put together, a certain structure that is extremely hard to come by and that in the days of today, it’s just not possible, I don’t see it any other way.
What do you like to do away from music?
When I’m away from music I race. Unfortunately I don’t live in Germany, but I do my best to drive as fast as I can, anywhere I can. Gives me an edge. When I can’t, you can always find me racing in my favorite Simulators in an online lobby somewhere.
Who are you listening to at the moment? Any artists standing out for you right now?
Mostly, these days, Ambient. Sound healing. Apart from that, any thing that sounds new, futuristic, “fresh”. Forest Drive West. Barker, BAILE, John Gurd, Altus and Poemme, put these one and take a deep dive.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
No idea man. My releases are on pause due to this pandemic. Right now the plan is to stay sane and persist the inevitable.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Grandma food is my favorite. There are a few places, but I’ll mention one that I’ve been going since I was a teenager, It’s called “Casa da Pizza” in São Paulo. It’s in front the Repreza do Guarapiranga – the main body of water the state. It’s a pizzaria. Best Pizza in town, best service in town. I usually grab a big table and make a lot of noise with friends, extremely friendly place, feels like home to me.
What is your name and role within dave the band?
Noah is my name and singing and playing guitar is my role within dave the band.
Where are you currently based?
Newcastle, Australia
How did the band form?
We formed in high school when Gabe and I were in year 7. Max joined us after school and we’ve been happily dave ever since.
What’s been happening recently and how has your COVID experience been?
We’ve been gearing up for our album release. Lots of online stuff thanks to COVID. Our experience in Newcastle hasn’t been too bad. I’ve been surfing a lot and writing lots of songs.
Your debut album will be out August 28, 2020 – what influenced the sound and songwriting?
The sound is influenced by the energy and feeling we’ve cultivated over the years jamming and playing together as much as we can. The songwriting was influenced by nightclubs, coffee, footy, hot summers, cold winters and being an all-round Sadsack.
How did you go about writing the music?
With a guitar. It was easy.
Where and when did you record/produce/master?
We recorded in Chicago with Steve Albini. He’s a sound engineer, not a producer. We aren’t interested in anyone else telling us how to play our songs. Steve was just there to capture what we were playing. It was mastered by Steve’s Shellac bandmate Bob Weston.
What programs/instruments did you use?
Guitar, bass and drums. What’s a program? I also played Steve’s Wurlitzer on Brave and Sadsack.
Please tell us about how you came to work with Steve Albini and the experience you had:
We emailed his studio and booked it. It was as easy as writing the music.
The experience was awesome. I had mentally prepared for there to be some hitches and not have everything turn out as I would have liked, but the whole experience at Steve’s studio was like a dream.
Your new single ‘Where Are You’ is out now, what influenced this track and what does it mean to you?
I’m still working out what this song means to me. I can’t really remember writing it but it was one of the first we started working on for Slob Stories. Steve wouldn’t let me double the vocals on this song for some reason.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Household Item One, Lovedavid, De La Soul, Vex Ruffin, Andy Shauf, Purple Mountains, Frances Quinlan, Wes Montgomery, Jason Molina, Bill Frisell, Yo La Tengo
What do you like to do away from music?
I don’t like to be away from music but I like surfing.
How’s the time been supporting and playing with bands from Newcastle?
It’s been awesome. We’ve got a special scene here with lots of great artists. It’s a big city vibe without the wank.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020 going into 2021?
Recording another album!
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Coffee and bagels at Frothers Espresso. Beers and pizza at The Ori.

Summer is an exciting season for artists and audiences alike, with an increased demand for new music to fuel outdoor activities, summer flirtation and the general highlife that comes with it. Tiahi’s new single “Get Loving On” does exactly that and after the success of his previous release “Free” we reached out to the Berlin-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist to chat about the story behind “Get Loving On”.
Tiahi, Get Loving On is definitely a love song with a creative storyline but at the same time also a true summer song – what was the inspiration behind it, where did you write it and is it based on a true story?
Yes and no (laughs), it went like this: I was in Vienna for a workshop and one night we went out to party. We were all buzzing from the day and then there was this beautiful girl that I just had to get to know. We really hit it off and I guess it was a bit of love at first sight, if that still exists.
And then you got your loving on?
No, actually we didn’t (laughs again). As if the distance Berlin-Vienna wasn’t enough, I was flying to Costa Rica for 3 months the following week and I found myself on the beach, thinking about all the things I’d want to do with her if we were closer and that’s how I wrote the song basically.
Wow, that’s an amazing story. But with a bit of a bittersweet ending I guess.. Sounds like you didn’t get to do the things you are singing about after all, so how does performing the song now make you feel?
Oh I feel great about it, I’m thankful for the feeling she gave me, the inspiration and the buzz. Takes me right back to Costa Rica and reminds me that there is more love waiting out there..
No doubt about that. One last question that I just have to ask: how do you come up with a line like “Water so clear you see right through / Jump off a plane in Tuvalu”? Have you been?
That’s a good question (laughs). I was traveling in the South Pacific, 10h ferry ride in Tonga where I met this guy from France who’d been in the area for ages and he told me a lot of stories and one of them was about him jumping off a plane in Tuvalu, skydiving. I never forgot about it and when I was writing the song it popped up in my head and I was like ‘yep, that’s it’.
Fantastic, Tiahi, thank you for your time and all the best for your upcoming releases..
Likewise, thank you for having me!

What is your name and role within the band?
My name is Geoff Rana and I’m the singer, songwriter, guitarist and keys player in Crystal Cities. Plus, I’ve recently added producer and engineer to my resume’.
How did Crystal Cities form?
It was formed by 3 scientists, Geoff, Dan and Jared, who, after years of experimenting, finally tweaked the fibonacci sequence to complete the first ever rock n roll time machine. We then transported ourselves a 1000 years into the future and have since returned to try and save the future of Rock music.
What’s been happening recently and how has your COVID experience been?
Covid hasn’t been too kind to musicians… But it has allowed us to finish the album a bit quicker than what we normally would have.
Please tell us about your upcoming album:
It’s called Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight and it’s way more loud and guitar-driven than our previous stuff. There’s lots of energy in these new songs which I think people are going to really dig.
Your new single ‘Don’t Speak Too Soon’ is out now, where and when did you record/produce?
We recorded this in Studio A, aka My bedroom which was fitted with all the latest gear and equipment to create the unique sounds we were after. Such gear included:
– Set of clothes draws
– Cupboard
– Fold out bed
– Guitar
– Microphone, and
– An audio interface
If you listen carefully you will be able to hear cars, planes, kids screaming, and vacuum cleaners in the background of the track.
What influenced the sound and songwriting?
I always try to write songs that are going to sound good live. So, that was one aspect…
How did you go about writing Don’t Speak Too Soon?
Well, it’s a classic story that seems to repeat for me… I picked up the guitar, strummed it and then thought “no that’s rubbish”, waited another hour, tried again, and boom it worked! Don’t Speak To Soon was born.
Who did you work with during the creation of the album?
Myself and the other two scientists, Dr Jared King and Professor Daniel Conte ,both outstanding in their field. But it was myself that I worked on the most since I had a lot of issues that needed resolving…
How did you approach the recording process?
From behind. Scared the living shit out of it I did.
What did you find most challenging and rewarding?
Wearing clothes and not wearing clothes.
What do you like to do away from music?
Listen to music.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
My wife.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
Releasing more tunes and (hopefully) playing some shows…
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Bananas. In trees.

What is your name and role within Petric?
Jason Petric, guitarist, singer, songwriter… and I do all the grunt work
How did Petric form?
The evolution of Petric continues to roll. Petric really took shape in the summer of 2013. At the time it was the “Jason Petric” project. I had a few solo albums out, and was doing my best to dig into the industry. Jordan and I were gigging all over Manitoba. Bars, clubs, festivals, every opportunity we could get to perform, we took it. Tom started making guest appearances at all these shows. He would come up to sing a song or two, and it was always those songs that sounded the best. The chemistry, the harmonies, the energy that the 3 of us had when performing those songs, it was undeniable. Shortly after that, we committed to changing the project to PETRIC.
Where are you currently based?
Winnipeg MB is where we have always been out of, and continue to call home.
How has your COVID experience been so far?
I think most of the band has quite enjoyed having the summer home. No traveling, no rehearsals, extra time with the family. Its all good. Fortunately, everyone has been healthy, and we’ve had this new music to prepare.
You have a single ‘Deja Vu’ out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
I always thought the title Deja Vu was cool. This song was written years ago. We had really really wanted this track to be part of the 18 Ends EP, but it never happened at that time. This song really grew into the song it is now over a lot of time, and of effort. Our band, and producer really helps us a lot with finding the sound at times, and this song was definitely a collaboration from everyone
How did you go about writing De Ja Vu?
We wrote this song with Seth Mosely, and Brad Rempel from High Valley a few years ago. It was an awesome experience to work with both those guys. I think we all knew this song was going to get recorded one day. It instantly felt good.
You also have a new album on the way, please tell us about the song writing process and what the album means to you:
This album means absolutely everything to us. This album is PETRIC. We must have written 50 songs for this project, and listened to 50 more. The band, Tom, Jordan, our drummer Jon Plet, bassist Ben Mak, and myself, we rehearsed for months, leading up to every studio session. We challenged each other every step of the way(and it wasn’t always friendly). So to be here now, and feel very satisfied with the music, it’s a great feeling of accomplishment.
Where and when did you record/produce?
We recorded at Bedside Studios in Winnipeg. We flew our producer Chris Baseford up a couple times(Once in the middle of January when it was -40…sorry dude).
What programs/instruments did you use and how did you approach the recording process?
I’m pretty sure we didn’t use any spoons… everything else made it haha
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Chris Cornell. His voice has really found a home in my soul the last few months.
What do you like to do away from music?
Family. I’m newly married to a lovely girl named Laura. I have a step daughter named Hunter, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. There’s a lot of love in our house, and its the only thing that I want to be doing.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020 going into 2021?
Like you mentioned, we have a new album coming out. We’ve shot 2 music videos already. 1 more needs to be filmed. We’ve already started to discuss getting back into the studio for February. We have a few more songs we want to get out of us.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
The Forks/The Common in Winnipeg. The Forks has always been the meeting place in Manitoba. It’s got such a cool atmosphere. It’s my favorite place in Winnipeg forsure.

Where are you currently based?
At the moment I’m based in Woking, just south of London. Not much going on here unfortunately compared to Brighton where I’d previously lived for 4 years before that. Currently looking to move further into London or maybe up north to Manchester!
How did you first start playing music?
I mean I first stared DJ’ing and playing out in early 2017, because up until then I had no clue how to mix and was solely a producer. I was aware of how important it is to be able to DJ as well as make bangers if you wanted to make a living out of all of it, and my music started to get some attention around that time so it was only natural.
What’s been happening recently?
Not a lot haha. Same for everyone I suppose. I’ve been keeping myself really busy though and have been crazy productive over the last 4 months or whatever it’s been now. Lost count at this point. I’ve made a silly amount of music, a lot of which with vocalists and features which previously I hadn’t delved too much into. So overall my production has improved massively I feel and I reckon I’m easily making the best music I’ve ever made atm.
You’ve been a main stayer and champion of UK Bassline for years, how did you first become involved and what do you attribute to your success?
I first broke into the scene through this competition in the summer of 2016. This group called bass music group on Facebook called Lengoland hosted the first-ever ‘war dubs’, a knockout competition where producers basically went head to head with each other to see who could make the better/crazier tune, which then went down to a vote. There were a few spaces left so I thought fuck it what’s the worst that can happen, I’ve not got anything else going on. I’d only ever made like 2 bass tunes before this so was a bit sceptical but ended up getting to the semi-finals and having 3 of the 4 tunes I made released as free downloads, which is where it all kicked off really! Quite lucky to be honest as if it wasn’t for me just going for it and that group even existing, I don’t think I’d be doing what I’m doing now to be honest.
Please tell us about how your sound is progressing through experimentation:
You’ve basically answered the question yourself there! That is exactly how my sound is progressing and evolving. Through experimentation and the intent to try make stuff that sounds different to everyone else. That’s always what I’ve tried to do. Whilst of course keeping things familiar to the UK bass sound and genre so it can appeal to a wider audience as well.
Where and when did you produce and what programs/instruments did you use?
I actually made the main melody that the whole track is based around in Skepsis’ studio whilst we were trying to come up with a 2nd tune. We’d finished Hijack and were tryna work separately just to get ideas going and I made that riff sitting on his couch. We didn’t manage to do anything with it so he just told me to use it myself, and I’d already wrote the lyrics for 1 more a weeks before so I just thought alright let’s try get these to work together, and they did! I produce on Logic and have done since day 1 so that’s what I used. Mainly use Serum for all my bases and then just a whole range of different sounds, plugins, instruments and samples to make the rest of the track.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
No one in particular to be fair, but if i were to pick my favourite 3 tracks atm they’d be:
Shaun Dean & Harry Tremlett – The Sound (did you know)
Alcemist & EJ Kitto – The Plan
Mella Dee – Dev Green
Please tell us about your new single ‘1 More’ Feat EJ Kitto, what influenced the sound and songwriting and how did you come to work with EJ Kitto?
I’ve been working on it since January and it’s been a right pain to mix down, so now it’s done and is getting released I am buzzing. The track is supposed to be from a ravers point of view, early in the morning deep into the crowd surrounded by his/her mates, in what feels like a complete haze of tunes, drinks, smoke and lasers. The lyrics are supposed to just encapsulate what it’s like to go to a UK bass music event. They all finally decide to leave and go back to their mate’s house to continue the party. Me and Emma actually chat loads before without me even realising as she used to run a UK Bass promo page on Instagram where I’d send her videos to upload. It was only when I put out a Facebook status asking for a female vocalist with a London accent that my mate told me she was looking for features and would be ideal for the tune, which she was. She brings exactly what I asked for which is amazing. A spoken word kind of London accent – the main inspiration being Redlight and how he usually has similar female vocal lines on his tracks.Where and when did you produce and what programs/instruments did you use?
You’ve got some big records coming up in the next few months, please tell us more:
I can’t give too much away, but some of my next releases for the rest of the year include a tune with Bru-C, and one with Window Kid, a single release on Dr Fresch’s label, a single release on Chris Lorenzo’s label, and a 2 track dnb release. Its gonna be a wicked few months in terms of music.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Steak and chips with stupid amounts of peppercorn sauce. Can’t beat it. Favourite place to hangout has got to be Brighton. Got so much love for that city as its basically where the whole Zero project started and grew in the early days. Best city in the UK, especially in the summer.

What is your name and role within Among The Restless?
My name is Rhett James and I am the lead singer.
Where are you currently based?
I am based in inner-city Melbourne but currently stuck in Brisbane due to COVID.
How has your COVID19 experience been so far?
For the band, like any other creative act currently in the world, COVID has been an interesting roller coaster of uncertainty and improvisation. We had to change all of our plans and have been taking every week as it comes. It’s sad to say that the band has only been together once since the virus broke out and I miss our shenanigans dearly, but coming up to Brisbane in June was a saving grace for me personally and bought some reality back into my life which has been really nice. I just feel for the boys back in Melbourne that are toughing it out.
Your new single ‘Without You’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
This song was influenced by the groove-based rock sound of the late ’80s and the charismatic showmanship of these performers with a modern twist that we have incorperated. We wrote the song about situations that we have been around whilst experiencing the coming of age and is relatable on all different levels.
How did you go about writing Without You?
We went about writing Without You to be a fun and relatable song. Our guitarist Lachie actually came up with the main riff and concept for the song in the shower then brought it into the rehearsal room for the boys to work on the form. Once we got the form locked on, the Bass player Josh, as well as Lachie and I, sat in a room for a fair amount of time coming up with the lyrics based on our collective past experiences. After we felt happy with the lyrics we took it into the rehearsal room again and both the drummer Jaidyn, and our other guitarist Seamus had their say and we glued the song as a band
The song took slight changes when we took it into the studio. These changes diversified each of our individual parts which created the final recorded version of Without You.
Where and when did you record?
We recorded at Red Engine Studios in Brisbane with my Dad Steve James in mid-March, just before COVID struck.
How did you approach the recording process?
We began the process by sitting down with Steve and playing an acoustic version of the song so he could get an idea of it. He then gave us his feedback and requested we change a few things which we did. We then began with Jaidyn on the drums and all followed individually with bass, guitars, and finally vocals.
What programs/equipment did you use?
Lachie used a JCM900 amplifier with a vintage 1960’s cab and played an Ibanez Premium for lead guitar and using both a Fender Tele and Rowe custom electric for rhythm Josh used a Fender Precision bass which was Di’d Jaidyn used a 90’s DW kit with Zildjian cymbals and a Tama Metalworks snare Seamus used a Fender Tele going through a Vox AC30 for rhythm and a Tokai Gold Top going through a marshal JCM900 for lead breaksRhett used a Neuman U87 mic with a Neve 1073 mic amp along with a Urei 1176 compressor. Steve recorded us with Neve 1176’s and an SSL desk G and E series with ProTools HD.
Would you do anything different next time around?
I wouldn’t change what we have created for the world. I am extremely proud of myself and the boys!
Who are you listening to at the moment?
I have been listening to a whole range of artists across genres but my favourites getting me through COVID have been Anderson Paak, Megadeth, Machine Gun Kelly, The Screaming Jets, and Post Malone.
What do you like to do away from music?
I’m a massive football fan. I’m both extremely passionate about football and music and It’s good for me to have another outlet in which I love doing.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
The band takes every day as it comes, we have one more song planned to release for 2020 which will be our heaviest yet! we look forward to sharing it with everyone soon.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Sushi Link on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy. The band used to meet there every day for lunch when we were all at uni and the food there is amazing. Special place.
Interviewer: Anthony Huttley
Rich, you’ve been one of the more recognisable names in Australian progressive house for a while now, can you tell us a bit about how you became a part of the scene? Were you always into electronic music?
I only began delving into underground electronic music at around 2003 when I was sharing a house with someone who collected vinyl records and liked to play them most afternoons after work. Prior to that I was 100% into heavy metal and guitar bands (which I’ve recently started to return to, just for some added inspiration!). Becoming part of any music scene in a town as small as Brisbane is definitely a challenge but when I first decided to give it a go I wasn’t aware of that nor had any set goals to strive for, I just knew I wanted to a) get behind a DJ booth in public, b) run my own night-club events, and c) host and meet as many international touring DJ/producers as possible without going completely broke. Looking back at the progression (pardon the pun) of the last 14 odd years I guess it has worked out rather seamlessly and sequentially, but it’s been a great learning experience and regardless of any musical or artistic benefits I feel being involved in the underground music scene has completely revealed my inner self in ways I doubt would have been possible otherwise.
I’ve heard a couple of people say that the scene in Brisbane, where you’re based, is a bit unique. How would you describe the music scene there these days? Is there much room for progressive house or the more underground genres of electronic music?
As I alluded to with the earlier question, yes it’s tough getting a foothold and staying relevant in such a small scene but there are definitely as many positives as negatives. These days the Brisbane nightclub world is very regimented, structured and defined in terms of not only musical genres but desired clientele, fashion trends and most definitely age demographics. Unless a promoter is happy to host events outside of the dedicated entertainment precincts, and rely more heavily on their own promotional skills or focus 100% on building their own fan network, they’re very restricted in the choices they have when running those events. I guess that’s not necessarily entirely a bad thing as it allows the crowd to be more informed and discerning, but there are only so many nights per year for events to take place and only so many dancefloors available. Put it this way – I’m glad I no longer have to promote events!
Recently, you welcomed a new member into your family, which is huge, btw, congrats! As someone who is normally quite busy in the studio, did that affect your production?
Thanks! Yes Violet arrived 9 months ago and has turned “normal” life into something else! I consciously made a decision prior to her birth that I’d close off any studio activity until the newborn routines had stabilised enough that I could once again successfully multi-task. I didn’t want to deal with the stress of pushing myself to be musically productive at the same time as learning how to be a Dad, and so far it’s been the right move. I’ve used the last 10 months to completely rebuild my studio setup, install a few gadgets and finally buy some bass-traps which have made such a difference with my confidence in front of the speakers. The brain is currently over-flowing with musical ideas so I’m super keen to get back into a production routine, hopefully within a few months time.
How would you describe your sound?
As a DJ I try to hover between a few genres, obviously progressive house and techno, but since around 2016 also breakbeat. Playing longer gigs in South America over the years has taught me that musical energy is as important as technical skill and track selection, so throwing in 15 or 20 minutes of breaks in a prog set has a huge effect on dancefloors when I’m playing gigs, as well as in recorded mixes which can get a little monotonous after a while. As a producer I’m obviously locked into the progressive genre and continue to find inspiration in productions from the masters such as Guy J but also weird and unique masters such as Maceo Plex. I guess prog is my “safe space” when in the studio but I still enjoy making it so have no real need to take risks at this stage of the game.
I find your sound quite unique, which is a huge accomplishment in the overly- saturated progressive house market. Were you actively trying to produce something different, or has it always been organic?
That’s good to know, because yes I have always wanted to have a different sound if possible. Most of the time if I’ve got something unique going on it’ll be a happy accident however, as I’ve never been deeply interested in synthesis or the nitty-gritty of sound design – I just like trying as many synths, drum-machines, arpeggiators, effects units and manglers as I can find, seeing how far I can bend and twist traditional sounds and hopefully capture what comes out the other side. Luckily I have a steady day-job so I don’t need to rely on music to make a living, but if I did I honestly think I would get bored with studio production due to having to churn out tracks on a schedule and focussing on my own “sound”, as I know so many producers do. Expression and inspiration go hand in hand for me, if I was unable to be inspired (because the studio was a workplace) I doubt I would be able to express myself musically!
Your podcast “Resolutions” started 10 years ago, and still goes to air each month on Frisky radio. That is a hell of an accomplishment, congratulations! Tell me, what was the motive behind starting that?
10 years, such a long time! Other than just loving to make DJ mixes the motive for the podcast was two-fold, a) to keep myself in a regular routine of track-hunting, technical practice and label/artist research plus b) to boost my DJ profile and have something to promote myself with. At the start of it all I was obviously still too fresh to be getting booked for gigs so having a mix-tape/CD/podcast to hand around at events and to promoters helped massively even with such a small audience. Being hosted by friskyradio these days is a great privilege as it’s always been such a steady, reliable and well-respected home for progressive music even now with the uptake in streaming platforms such as Spotify. In recent years I expanded the show to a 2 hour format so I’ve been opening up the 2nd hour to a few guest DJs here and there, for the most part focussing on like-minded DJs from Brisbane, of course!
Have there been any stand-out years in terms of quality, music- wise? Have you ever found yourself struggling to compile enough decent tunes?
To be honest no, there has never been an especially lean year or a stand-out year that I can recall. I’ve always found way more music than I could ever hope to play and there has never been a struggle even just relying solely on Beatport and not having to branch out to the other smaller retailers. I guess I have put in a lot of time over the years when tune-hunting and researching labels, so that must have paid off compared to what other DJs are experiencing. It’s amazing how much good music is out there at any point in time!
After so many years at it, has your objective with that mix changed much over the years?
Resolutions episodes have always been something I’ve wanted to be able to listen back to myself, to feel that they capture a certain essence of the time they were created both from the point of view of tempo and genre, but also where I was at as a DJ and where my career was situated. For example any episode after mid March 2013 would probably take on more of a melodic, hypnotic and subtle feel due to me having visited South America for the first time and observed how the people respond to those kinds of aspects of the mix. I think anyone can create a weekly or monthly podcast but if those mixes are created purely as a promotional vessel for the chosen tracks (or even just for social-media clicks) and there is little or no consideration to the flow, the energy, the emotion, then they’ll be more difficult to enjoy let alone remember.
Speaking of changes, I saw you post something about a new project called “Meld” recently. Can you tell us all what that’s about?
Meld is a concept suggested to me by my friend, Filip, in the USA who has been a big fan of Resolutions for many years. Filip is not a DJ but loves electronic music. The idea was for him to curate a batch of electronic tracks that he loved and I would then piece them together in the studio making a special one-off DJ mix just for him. I think it’s a fantastic idea which allows fans to connect to the DJ, melding the two different yet intertwined passions for music. I’m hoping people will approach me to make more Meld mixes in the future, who knows it could actually become a “thing”!
You were due to tour South America for the 7th consecutive year in a row this year, obviously you can’t due to Covid-19, what’s the plan for you now?
Travelling and gigging through Latin America has become such a regular part of my life since 2013 that to not be over there at all this year really does feel odd. I’ve made so many friends there over the years and it’s rather painful to think of what they’re going through with constant quarantines and plummeting economies. Along with all the other out of work DJs I sure can’t wait to see a vaccine or some other end to this whole debacle but who knows when that is likely to occur. Clearly my plan right now is to stay locked indoors but as soon as the borders are opened up again and it’s safe to take long-haul flights overseas I’ll be hunting down gigs again and dusting off the old Spanish-language textbooks!
What’s your DAW of choice in the studio, and why?
I’ve only ever used Apple’s Logic when in the studio, mostly due to a lack of time to delve into any other DAWs. I’m keen one day to try Ableton and I believe the latest version of Logic actually shares many of the same workflow features so it could be a seamless switch. But after more than 10 years using Logic it’ll be tough to beat!
Top 3 plug-ins of the moment?
I’ve actually been researching lately into the world of Channel Strips and Pre-Amps, in a software-sense. So initially my answer would be biased towards the Arturia, Black-Rooster and Univeral Audio products in that category as they can add such a nice subtle colouring to any sound. In terms of synths I’d have to call out a bunch of Kontakt (Native Instruments) 3rd-party libraries that easily stand out from the herd, such as Tronsonic and Phono Loop’s Texture Mozaik. There’s so many options out there for making sounds so my money will always go towards the plugins that make weird and unique results without too much effort or technical know-how.
Who are you listening to at the moment? Any names that are standing out for you?
There’s always someone new and fresh popping up in my crates so this is a pretty easy question to answer: Jonas Saalbach, Hansgod and The Micronaut come to mind. Well worth checking out!
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
Aside from continuing to push Meld and Resolutions further along I’ll also be returning to making originals and remixes in the studio by the end of 2020, but am more excited to finally be getting some traction on mine and my mate Verve’s new record label idea. In a similar fashion to Meld we are trying to stand out from the crowd and the releases we’ve planned will be very different in format and content than your regular electronic music label. Stay tuned for that, the label is called Context Digital and will be coming to all the good music retail stores very soon!

Where are you currently based?
I am currently based in Adelaide, South Australia prior to COVID I was living out of suitcase traveling between London, LA, Amsterdam, Adelaide and Sydney. Last week I flew to London which was an experience traveling through a pandemic!
How has your COVID experience been so far?
I have been super fortunate to not been or had any of my family/friends affected by it. which I’m really thankful for. I’ve been able to use this time to be with my family which i don’t normally get when I’m traveling all the time and we’ve just been isolating and being present. As well as working on LOTS of new music of course!
Please tell us about your prior success as a songwriter and how it all came about for you:
I have been writing songs since I was a little girl! The first song I remember writing was when I was 5 it was a song about being true to yourself! No one tells you how to do something like writing songs it just sort of happened. In my final year of school, I was flown to Nashville during exam week, to do an album after being spotted on my youtube channel which has now been deleted! After that, I wrote for The Voice and other artists and that was my first experience as a young writer, writing for other people. Nashville was a huge eye-opener. I was shocked to find out that people really do this for a living.. fast forward and Sony ATV heard some songs I was writing on a songwriting camp and the rest is history!
PS1 ‘Fake Friends’ has been well received within the UK, how did you come to be part of this track and why do you think this track in particular has been such a success?
Funnily enough, I wrote the song 3 years ago on a songwriting camp, it was actually the first song that Sony heard and signed way back then. Originally it was written (if you can believe it in a hip hop/ pop type of way! ( I know hard to believe) I sort of forgot about the song as a few years had past and the producer who I wrote the song with hit me up and asked if it was okay to send to PS1, a few months later it was turned into a House track!
You have a debut solo release coming out in September 2020, what can we expect?
I am really excited about my new song Playing Up! I wrote it a year ago whilst going through a breakup and during COVID I isolated with Adelaide producer Israel Amoy and we worked on music together. Playing Up was one of the songs that came out, we produced it and send it over to grammy-nominated Berkay Birecikli to add production, mix and master who is based in Los Angeles. It was again unlike any experience due to the pandemic things were slow but it was awesome to get to really work on every production element and make sure we were all really happy with the outcome.
How do you usually go about writing music and what or who influences your sound and songwriting?
I normally write songs about situations that I have gone through, its the reason for why most people start writing and I genuinely find that if I can connect to the song others will be able to as well. I always write down lyric ideas and poems and listen to a lot of different styles of music.
What do you have planned for the remainder of 2020 and going into 2021?
Writing lots and lots and lots of music! focusing on my own artist project! and hopefully, in 2021 I can start traveling and performing!!
What do you like to do away from music?
I love working out and being outdoors, I am always in dark studios so any time i can get out and go for a walk i love it!!!
Who are you listening to at the moment?
I can’t stop listening to Raye, Mabel, MNEK, Joel Corry, Dua Lipa, Sigala, Stormzy, Sam Feldt, Jonas Blue, Manu Crooks, B Wise, Mø and Anne Marie!

Where are you currently based?
I’m currently based in Perth, Western Australia.
How did you first start playing music?
I was singing as a hobby from a young age but my proper start came in when my cousin and fellow artist, Rosel, asked me to join a studio session a while back and I thought I’d get on the mic and give this a go. After the session, I had my first feature on an original song called Nightfall.
What’s been happening recently?
As you know, I just released my debut track ‘Mean That’, but I’ve also been working on A LOT of original music, and some collaborations in the Dance music scene, keep an eye out!
Your new single ‘Mean That’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
‘Mean That’ is my first piece of original work that I’ve banked for a while and I’m really happy to put this out. I wrote the song while I was going through some relationship struggles. People say things and don’t mean it and when you leave the relationship they go back to saying things they don’t mean to get you back. It’s like a never ending cycle and I wanted to portray it. The track overall has a very RnB and pop vibe, which mesh well together.
But it would be great to hear from everyone what they thought about the track, my DM’s are open!
Where and when did you record and who with?
I probably finished recording ‘Mean That’ at the start of 2020 with FRAAN, an incredible producer from Perth. He produced the track for me too!
What do you like to do away from music?
I am a huge sports fan, so there’s a lot of games I keep up with on the weekend. I play sports and love to hit the gym too. Along with this, music and my day job, I try find time to keep a social life!
Who are you listening to at the moment?
As you’d expect, Drake is one of the main artists on my playlists but I’ve been vibing a lot of Bazzi and Stanaj lately.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
It’s going to be a busy few months for me, I’ve got a few collaborations and original work releasing soon. As I said, be sure to keep an eye out.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
There’s nothing better than being at the local pub watching the footy or soccer with the boys, then having a chicken parmi (laughs)!

Where are you currently based?
In Govanhill in Glasgow. It’s the most culturally diverse area of Scotland, full of creatives and interesting locations, more languages than anywhere else in the country and a ton of green spaces. We like it here.
Your new EP ‘March Last Year’ will be out August 21, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
This was written at a time when we were holding down a residency in Glasgow’s largest after hours venue. It was a wild time, with us sometimes playing three times in a weekend until ungodly hours of the morning. The creativity, energy and vibes at that time were so exciting and exhausting. We wanted to write some music that we felt represented the venues we were regularly playing in, and so began writing our first house EP. There are many more to come.
How did you go about writing the music?
This was before we had built our studio and so were literally made in our bedrooms. We would take turns moving synths across the east end of Glasgow in the rain in January/February and sitting up late getting frustrated. It was a truly collaborative process, however all three tracks were from Oliver’s genesis. We cracked them eventually and sat on them for a while before deciding to send them out to labels. We wanted to work with someone in Glasgow, so Jackie Knows Karate were a great fit, as they weren’t reticent about a slightly heavier sound which we were feeling at the time.
Where and when did you produce?
Production took place in bedrooms, and mixing anywhere with a plug and headphones. We’ve since built a studio, which over lockdown has been a saviour.
What programs/instruments did you use?
We used Ableton as the DAW. Then a good chunk of the instrumentation is played through a Korg Minilogue (which any Minilogue owner will hear in these tracks immediately!), the Arturia Drumbrute provided some of the ancillary percussion and the rest would have been some finely attuned samples as well as the occasional digital synth.
Please tell us about your studio setup:
Now we have (see attached photo!) a Korg Minilogue, Novation Bassstation II, Artutria Drumbrute, a Fender Jazz bass, a few midi keys, a microphone and plenty of plugins.
How did you approach the recording/production process?
Recently we’ve been beginning tunes separately, bringing them as far as we can individually and then passing them over to each other. The new ears bring new musical ideas as well as new perspectives on the mix itself. We each have particular strengths which the other recognise and respect so it’s a great partnership.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
We’ve been listening to an absolute ton of music during lockdown. Spending countless hours cycling, walking and drinking mean countless hours of imbued culture.There’s always such a wide range of countries and genres always being played in our flat. Ladies on Mars’ edits have been lovely to get you moving in the morning, our pal Wuh Oh has been killing it with his bonkers productions, Fontaines D.C’s new record is unreal, Celeste has been a beautiful vibe, Baba Stiltz been on a lot, Toy Tonics always pump out jams to keep your feet moving, Mura Mesa made a track with Tirzah which has been on repeat the last week or so… This list could go on and on!
What do you like to do away from music?
With what little time we have away from music, we like to drink and eat. Also travelling and arguing with friends about politics. Lockdown has made a lot of that impossible, so we’ve mostly been drinking and eating. We’re also both keen cyclists so we’ve been taking this opportunity to properly explore some of the amazing Scottish scenery all around Glasgow.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
Fuck knows haha. It really depends on what apocalyptic cliche happens next. If we manage to avoid nuclear war or alien invasion we’re going to keep producing at the rate we have over the last few months. We’ve got some serious stuff on the way which we can’t wait to get out there. Also, we’ve set up our own label In The Event of Capture and are lining up some releases on that. Send us demos! intheeventofcapture@wshom.club.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
We eat anything. We hangout (more?) anywhere. Just name the time and place. We’ll bring the cutlery.

Where are you currently based?
We are currently based in Stuttgart, Germany
What’s been happening recently and how has your COVID19 experience been so far?
We have just released our new single Dreams, which we are really excited about:
As with everyone else, we had to get used to the current state of things. We tried to do the best we could and work on new music and we were very lucky to stay healthy in the past few months.
You have a new single ‘Dreams’ on the way, what influenced the sound and songwriting for this track?
The fact that the Covid-19 Pandemic hit right when we started recording, the feeling of isolation found it’s way in there naturally, which coincidentally fits the mood of the track very well. After we recorded the drums we were basically separated for 2 months. In that time I started to record the rest of the song and we finished the mix and master when the whole quarantine deal was over.
How did you go about writing Dreams?
Dreams stems from another song I wrote years ago. I never was fully satisfied with that version and I new that it had a magic to it that was worth discovering again and working on/with. I sat down with the band and we traded ideas, first for the new drum part and then to see where we could get the chorus. We’re very satisfied with the end result.
Where and when did you record/produce?
Up to this point we have recorded and produced all of our music on our own. We usually record the drums in our rehearsal space. In march, when the corona virus hit, I started to record the rest of the instruments and vocals.
What programs/instruments did you use?
We record and produce in Logic Pro X.
What do you like to do away from music?
We all love to bbq and watch movies.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Personally, there is nothing I’m more excited about right now than the forthcoming Killers record Imploding The Mirage.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
We’ll see how and if playing live will be possible at all this year. We’d really love to. But we’re always working on new music and have a lot in the can for the nearer future!

Interviewer: Anthony Huttley
How would you describe your sound and the music that you play?
My sound is a direction of atmospheric progressive house with techy elements and vocals.
You’re based in Melbourne, let’s pretend for a minute that covid doesn’t exist… What’s the music scene like there? Is there much room for underground electronic music there?
Melbourne’s scene was at a growing point when we went into this global mess. We had a lot of talent brewing and it is starting to show on a global level. From Anthony Pappa returning back to Melbourne and bringing his years of knowledge with him, too guys like GMJ & Matter who are killing it with their releases on global labels currently and have recently just started their own label Meanwhile Recordings with a bang!
I would like to see these guys get booked more and overall bringing back some of those prog events that really display the awesome artists’ lots of Australia doesn’t even know they have!
Adding to that I think some of these really amazing artists don’t have the time, energy or health to be out Friday to Sunday socialising just to get there names on the bills. I think when your new you have to do that, but when we are talking about some of the best artists in the world of their genre, then there should be more thought given to their experience and not their social status or popularity.
Ultimately I would love to see our best homegrown talent not go unnoticed.
How did you wind up in electronic music? Were you born with a drum machine in your hand, or did you take the standard “classically trained” route like (apparently) many others?
Haha, I started out when I was younger like many learning Guitar out of school, and Clarinet in school. It was fun and definitely helped form some underlying knowledge but when it comes to music academics I am useless. I was self taught on Ableton and just picked it up and am now at a position I feel comfortable doing what I do best with it.
Are there any gigs or events over the past year or 2 that have really stood out for you either as an artist or a punter?
New Caledonia is always a place that stays close to my heart. The community over there for electronic music is tight and passionate, and their hospitality left a lasting impression on me for life. The last time I travelled there was when I was booked to support Nick Warren for Subcultures 6th Birthday and those gigs were fantastic. In Melbourne there have been some really fantastic events going down at My Aeon leading up to this break, and Morning After were definitely making moves as one of if not the best parties in Melbourne with their Enchanted Gardens Party aswell as hosting The Soundgarden’s Australian Show.
You had a bit to do with Nick Warren and the Soundgarden earlier this year. How did that all come about? Are there any plans to work with Nick again in the Future?
I met Nick when I supported him in New Caledonia for his gig there, we spent a day or two seeing each other and chatting, My release was great with them and I am honoured to have been accepted onto such a huge label spearheaded by the creative minds of Nick & Petra. I hope in the future to work with them more, definitely, and can at least say there is still something in the pipelines for us 
.
You recently released a huge tune with John Baptiste, “Neon Sky”. What was the collaboration process like? Would you mind walking us through it a bit?
Neon Sky is part of the Neon Skies EP.
Me and John have worked together for a few years now and have built up quite a flow in the studio. I can tend to try and create and create and create, whereas John can be very selective and firm when it comes to how something can sound. So together we have a great balance of creating and tightening our songs in the process. Apart from that we just play tennis in the studio and hop on and off the computer more or less having our input.
What is your DAW of choice and why?
Ableton is my DAW. I never really learnt anything else and was self taught so stuck with it. I love the intuition that follows after you have spent time figuring out what it is you want to do with it. Once you learn how to get in your flow in your DAW nothing can stop you.
What are your 3 favourite plugs at the moment?
I always love using my Soundtoys Bundle, Serum & the Reaktor 6 Plugins
Who are you listening to at the moment?
I am spending a lot of time in the studio writing my own music at the moment, I receive a fair few promo’s so sorting through them is fun but leaves me tired and just wanting to listen to soft music at the end of the day. I have been doing Meditation and Qi Gong with my partner at the moment outside if my music time and that is really nice.
Where can we find your tracks and sets?
I would say the easiest place would be my Soundcloud as I try and keep everything up to date there.

What do you like to do away from music?
I recently bought some mountain bikes with my partner and we have been loving going on bike rides and exploring the trails around my area. Other then that I like watching shows, playing games occasionally, or meditating and relaxing with my girlfriend.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
I was supposed to be going on a big travel of Europe and South America with my music at the moment, but due to current circumstances we had to cancel all those plans and are remaining in Australia for now. I hope to make alot more music and prepare for when the world re-opens and I can take my music out to all those international dancefloors!
I have a number of releases planned so you can be sure to expect to hear new material from me soon!
Favourite food and place to hangout?
French Toast (Sweet or Savoury)
& Bed. They can go together, that’s fine.
