INTERVIEW:

NAME: Liquid Stranger
LOCATION: Scottsdale, AZ

COULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND/STYLE OF YOUR PRODUCTIONS:
Throughout the years, I have been meddling around with all kinds of music, ranging from ambient to drill n’ bass. The last
few years I have been mainly focused on dub music. I like dub due to its open frame. There are very few limitations since
it is basically more a way of manipulating sounds then a genre in itself. To me, Dubstep is the ultimate dance music, and I love the mix of gnarly whale noises and high doses of humor.

HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER BASS MUSIC AND WHAT ARE YOUR EARLY MEMORIES OF
THE SCENE:
I grew up with the music of Data, Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, and Jean Michel Jarre. These are my first memories of music
that really spoke to me. I got into the Rave scene in 88, and was exposed to massive amounts of acid house, techno, and
jungle music. To put it shortly, I have been a victim of bass for most part of my life

TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR PROCESS WHEN PRODUCING:
It is a no-control battle. Inspiration hits, and something happens. I have found that the more I learn to silence my ego,
stand back, and fully surrender to the creative process, the better the result will be. I tend to work really fast, simply because I have to. I do not have the discipline to sit for more than 5 hours with one song. I get bored very easily,
so I just have to move forward.

WHERE, IF ANY, DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION OR IDEAS FOR TUNES:
It could literally be anything. I get a lot of inspiration from movies (especially bad ones it seems), and things that happens during the day. Other people’s music is also an inspiration of course, but I have lost interest in digging in the crates, so consequently I am very badly updated with new music and producers. The biggest influence for me music wise is, without a shadow of a doubt, vintage computer games. During my childhood, I spent so much time listening to the soundtrack of the C64 games, and I consider Chris Huelsbeck and Rob Hubbard to be true geniuses of the modern age.

WHICH PRODUCERS ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH THESE DAYS:
I like producers who are original, and who’s character shines through in their music. Nuff said.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS TO EVOLVE YOUR SOUND/PRODUCTION IN THE FUTURE:
…yes, I always tend to come up with far too many plans for new projects, but again, it is beyond my control. The worst
songs I have ever made are results of to much rigid planning.

WHATS THE BEST CROWD YOU HAVE PLAYED OUT TO:
Well, back in the old wild techno days, I played a whole bunch of amazing festivals, such as Voov Experience, and Boom.
Lately, I have mostly played in clubs, and while it does not really compare well to the massive outdoor vibe I have to say that the US has a really good Bass culture in general.

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE SONG YOU ARE GIVING OUT:
Just a remix I did for fun for the friction Lab show on BBC…but I do wonder what Dhaaru Pee Ke means.
