Podcast #140 - JĀST [GER]

Follow and Support @jast_dj Interview : Virtual Underground : How has this JĀST story started ? JĀST : I started making music at seven, when I began to play the drums. The instrument has stuck with me and I think it helps me visualize the rythmic elements in my sets. For the past ten years I've felt drawn to electronic music more and more. It still took me years of listening to tracks and podcasts of other artists and going out in the Berlin scene to actually start getting behind the decks myself. For the past four years I've been DJing and lately I started to focus my attention more on groovy, percussive and hypnotive tracks, that can be layered on multiple decks. VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? JĀST : Especially with the groovy tracks I play in this set a lot of inspiration is drawn from the sounds of the city - this moment where you leave the club in the morning and every rythmic and arythmic sound around you unites and together they form music in your head, that is what I want to achieve with these multilayered sets. But the sound of the sets I play is always heavily influenced by my mood as well. VU : Could you tell us more about your music selection and mixing process ? JĀST : I try to dig my music up from different corners of the Internet and I like to go vinyl shopping as well- a lot of it is following the right labels/artists and not being afraid to spend a lot of time out there choosing the right tracks. While mixing I try to keep every song I play running for a long time and to mix it with different tracks, highlight different elements of the track, so the set gets a natural flow that is somehow more than the sum of the tracks I use. VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? JĀST : The set is recorded on a X:ONE43 and two Denon SC5000 and a CDJ900

Virtual Underground: Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? ProOne79: I generally draw my inspiration from new sounds, but sometimes i draw inspiration from past experiences or everyday life. Virtual Underground: Could you tell us more about your music selection and mixing process ? ProOne79: I like to mix my productions with other artist's music and create eclectic mixes that combine house, techno and their subgenres. Virtual Underground: Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? ProOne79: For this set i used Traktor connected to an S2 MKII controller

Podcast #137 - NAKANO BLU [SP]

Interview with @nakanoblu : VIRTUAL UNDERGROUND : How did this NAKANO BLU story start? NAKANO BLU : I used to work as a drummer before moving to the Netherlands, but I was already producing trip-hop and downtempo music as 'Paul Wilbury'. Then the pandemic hit, so no more gigs unfortunately and I moved to Amsterdam where I got exposed to the music my friends were doing, more IDM, jungle and D'nB. That helped a lot in defining what I wanted to accomplish with NAKANO BLU. VU : Where do you generally get your inspiration from? NAKANO BLU : Mostly from going to the club and listening to my favourite producers play there. I also get a lot of ideas from other non-musical artforms, but that is more concept-wise. VU : Can you describe your music selection and mixing process? NAKANO BLU : I have changed quite a bit the last two years, but nowadays I try to find non-european roots in the electronic music I play. In Spain people listen mostly to reggaeton and latin pop so I try to incorporate that in my sets with experimental dembow and other latin electronic genres like baile funk or kuduro. VU : What software/hardware did you use for this set? NAKANO BLU : I recorded this on CDJs 2000 Nxs.2 and a DJM-900 mixer. VU : What is your craziest dream? NAKANO BLU : I don't really remember my dreams but I dream a lot I chase someone parkour style XD. Jokes aside, musically maybe my dream would be to just play at my favourite club and collaborate with my favourite artists, but who doesn't want that? haha links: https://nakanoblu.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/34Nv34AHWtVTQwuonomsLj https://www.instagram.com/nakanoblu/

Podcast #134 - iOÛN [FR]

by @ioun photo by www.facebook.com/reflexologiquephotos Interview : Virtual Underground: How did the story of iOÛN begin? iOÛN: The story of iOÛN began almost 3 years ago. First of all passionate about rock and alternative music, it was impregnated with the electro culture both in France (especially in Brittany) but also during its experiences abroad (England, Poland) in clubs and festivals (I am especially at the base a spectator who likes to vibrate thanks to the music). Two of my friends of studies create the association Armen Crew several years ago, that I will join in 2019 first as a volunteer then as a DJ. VU: What are your main inspirations? iOÛN: My inspirations are wide and diverse, I love rock (I also play in a band), alternative music and electronic music and especially the rhythmic sections of the latter. As far as electro is concerned, I'm very attracted by the incisive and percussive sounds of the Prodigy, Djedjotronic, Voiron or Helena Hauff for example. I like to propose sets that will not be only with the same style of sounds all along, I like to vary and bring different phases and ambiances in my sets (mainly electro often coupled with techno, pieces a little bit calmer, also indus or even more broken pieces), to vary the intensities to finally, simply make my audience travel in a journey at the same time dancing, sometimes dark and especially energetic. VU: Can you tell us about your selection and mixing process of the tracks? iOÛN: I do my digging mainly via Youtube by subscribing to many channels that perpetually suggest me new ideas of sound (and also discovery of new artists) and also via Bandcamp which is according to me a great platform to digest and pay the artists. So I pick in my last finds that I buy on Bandcamp but not only, the CD format occupies an important place in my purchases (I don't like to limit myself only to the digital format). Fortunately, there are still some record shops that offer an interesting range of CDs in this genre that is electro in the broad sense (new or second hand). Then I build my sets so that the intensity and the tempo increase in the duration. For the mixing, I use a rather simple and raw technique, I go to the essential while remaining in rhythm (it is the most important for me, it is necessary to stall well! and then I simply make my EQ transfers and I do not loop). VU: What software/hardware did you use for this set? iOÛN: I still use the same equipment as when I started, namely : - A pair of Numark NDX 400 (MP3 + CD) - A Mixars UNO desk - A Reloop Tape recorder Let's say I'm a bit old school but it suits me very well and it makes me work a lot on the rhythmic approach. I don't like to be assisted by a computer software (having two spectrums to manage annoys me more than anything else), once again I prefer to go to the essential and concentrate on the structures of the pieces (by ear) to know when to send the continuation. VU: What are your next projects? iOÛN: I'm planning to start a mix duo with a long time friend in parallel to my band and solo projects and that we start working on it. For the future, I plan to continue to invest myself with Armen Crew (my second family!) to organize events and play for people, it's very exciting for me. I'm also open to all kinds of proposals like online podcasts or participating in events.

Podcast #133 - Ekin [TUR]

Interview : Virtual Underground: How has this all started for you? Ekin: My first experience with music started when I discovered my sister’s old cassette player. She was listening to Limp Bizkit. I remember my first song was to Take a look around. Then I discovered other types of metal and started playing bass guitar. I was never into fancy solos. I always liked the idea of being the supporting pillar of the band and improved myself in every genre in bass. Even admitted to Berklee for a 5 week bass performance program. Before pandemic I was playing regularly with my band in a local metal bar called Dorock. Being the youngest member of the band and my tendency to use distortion earned me my nickname Basstard. Then in Berlin, Berghain to be precise, I was drawn to the vast world of techno and the limitless possibilities of sound design. That's when I started experimenting with my first controller. Virtual Underground: Where do you generally draw your inspiration from? Ekin: Music is how I express myself. I always felt myself full of emotions that I don't know how to let out. I had a turbulent childhood and preferred music over people. I was very good with maths and physics and could see the pattern in a song effortlessly unlike relationships. They were very complicated for me and emotions were like randomized functions that ruined every equation in my head. In my sets and compositions I try to reflect my way of seeing the world and how it's cynical, confusing and dark. Virtual Underground: Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? Ekin: I like the productions from the 2000s and 1990s. I work as an electronics engineer and while working I dive in the vast archives and select the tunes that intrigues me. I list them according to bpm and key. In this set I acted extra ruthless and selected some hard hitting tracks from C mantle, Headless horseman and Martyn Hare and tried to build a dystopian and intimidating atmosphere. Virtual Underground: Which software/hardware did you use for this set? Ekin: I used Traktor Pro 2 software and Traktor S5 controller. Virtual Underground: Could you tell us more about snatchers? Ekin: Snatchers is our İstanbul based imprint/label/collective for electronic music and more sound disciplines. It is a place for young musicians to grow and share their works founded by @omeerata. It is a non-profit organization as we say in snatchers we are in it for the music :) Virtual Underground: Any next plans? Ekin:I started learning Ableton and hopefully I will release my own tracks soon. Also I started digging records from 1990s and my ultimate goal is to expand my musical arsenal :) Follow and support Ekin @ingeniousbasstard
