So first off, we couldn't be more stoked to have you on the site! Have you been stuck in the studio all day today?
Pretty much! I've been cooking up some new songs!
Sweet dude! Stoked to hear them! So where are you based out of at the moment?
I'm in Texas. Home of Chuck Norris
As a producer have you always made house/electro-house/dubstep?
Well, I used to make Trance House and a lot of Top 40 remixes. They were not really that good though. Then I started making some electro inspired by Porter Robinson and Deadmau5. Then gradually built on from there to dubstep, house, and now rock electro.
Did any artists help you get started on the journey of your producing/DJ Career?
Well I also have inspiration from my friends Joe Garston, Mikkas, and PRA2. I am good friends with all of them and they will give me the criticism I need to make the song as good as I can.
I love Mikkas. His Unison remix was incredible. SO what is your equipment of choice for producing music?
First off, I have to agree with you about the Unison remix. I still can't stop listening. As for equipment. I basically use FL Studio and Massive and Sylenth. I also use a small midi keyboard for when I have writers block on a song. I don't have anything else. I like to keep my setup simple, but my songs complex.
It's always good to see a producer so talented with such a simple setup. That being said who are some of your favorite artists right now?
Definitely Porter Robinson. I'm also in love with Drivepilot right now as well as Charles Deluxe. I aslo can never stop loving PrototypeRaptor. His music is so detailed and amazing. I could say so many more but then we would be here all day.
With all these artists you must have 3 tracks you cant stop listening to?
Top 3 right now: Drivepilot - Retaliation
Porter Robinson - Unison (Mikkas Remix)
Cold Blood & Ice Cream Cones - Arion
I know we would all love to see you live! Do you have a tour in the works for the end of 2011 beginning of 2012?
I'm not sure. I would love to have a big tour, but I'm not sure how it would get in the process. I'm working on trying to get a gig in Tallahassee, Florida sometime this year. That's all I really have planned right now, but there may be more in the future.
Do you have any secrets you'd like to share with your fans?
Well, I do have a secret obsession for making remakes, but I dont really show them. I've actually remade Pon De Floor, Sandstorm, and Sofi Needs A Ladder. I'm also working on a remake of Porter Robinson's Unison right now. Another secret is...... I DON'T LIKE MOOMBAHTON AT ALL. I'm sorry. It just sucks.
Haha I think thousands of people in the EDM would would agree with you on that one... Me not being one of them though... Are there any works in progress that you'd like to let us in on?
I have a remix of Galaxy Mask by Digitalchord coming soon. I am going to put a free download of my rock electro song on soundcloud very soon. A remix will be coming out on Illuzion Records. That's pretty much all there is. And I am working on songs.... as usual.
I'm excited to hear those! As for releases coming out soon what is the deal with your new EP? I saw it's being launched on Big Fish Recordings next month! Care to tell us a bit about how it came together?
Well, it's a very long story. But I will tell the short version. I've been talking to Hirshee for a long while and when I sent him Ballistic he wanted it. Then Hyperdrive and finally Peaceful Devastation. He thought the time was here when my talent kicked in. So he signed them.
Well thanks for the interview man! Looking forward to everything in the future!
You're welcome! Thank you for having me!
