Step 2: read interview:
i grew up in a boring sub-urban city with terrible nightlife and music culture. Our only alternative to the nightclubs churning out bad chart music was to make parties in squats or in the middle of the woods, and this is what I did for a good few years before I came to Barcelona. But that scene can be hard on your body and mind so I was looking for a way out…
how does that influence your music?
I wasn't into House or Disco so much until I started living in Barcelona, I listened to a some Garage which was big when i was growing up and ultimately came to influence me further down the line, but mainly i would listen to hip hop or my mum´s record collection which was anything from Nirvana to Massive Attack and everything in between.
You live pretty close to the white isle, is Ibizia still amazing or is there another spot you prefer to be a party tourist?
I don't like Ibiza its trashy and shit. I would only return if i could build a time machine and visit back when it was about hippies, love and music, although outside of parties, the island itself especially in the North is beautiful… I think Barcelona still has some way to go before it rivals other cities but its getting there… I see London is pretty pumping these days if you can put up with all the skinny jeans and mustaches...
words i think of when listening to your tracks: cosmic deep sex disco future house. What words come to mind when you listen to your tracks?
Vaginas, orgy, ice cream, gangstas, lesbians, DP, lubrication, zebra, breasts...
Your sound ranges across a wide spectrum of influence and style. Your house and hip hop have a nod to the classics while you keep it sounding fresh and new. You have described it as Dope & Deep, What inspires you to write this type of music?
I don't think about it so much, i just make stuff that makes me buzz. I get some really nice feedback from the sound cloud community, its nice to know someone is listening and enjoying the vibes, I may not be technically polished like many people out there but I hope my love of dance music comes through on what i make, when people from across the world tell me they are playing my joints in clubs i get a special warm feeling in my balls...
We at motional are big fans of your George Michael - Monkey (lw bananas edit), what is your take on the edit craze that has been sweeping the underground over the last few years? Overdone or essential?
Edits are fun! Yeah theres loads about, some are shit, some are amazing. I personally love making edits as i find i often hear something in a track that I love and i want other people to love it too, i guess edits for me are as much about reviving something that i feel deserves more attention as they are about making something new for the dance floor.
Aside from George Michael you have also edited Janet Jackson and other Pop tracks, what is your favorite Pop track of all time?
Dennis Edwards feat. Siedah Garret - Don't Look any further. The video makes me smile too...
Your Soundcloud page is STACKED with solidly produced originals, remixes, and edits, how long have you been making tracks?
Ive been making noises since my early teen years, Ive only been making House and Disco for the past couple of years...
What labels do you release on and what are some of your favorite labels?
The first label to show me love here was Digital Delight - a fantastic label based in Barcelona by some extra smooth players. The label has grown to receive a lot of attention recently which has been excellent for anyone associated with it, and it continues to grow and impress the right people. It also has a sister label- Sultry Vibes, on which i have released a collaborative EP with Sishi Roesh called Dope Slangin´ Motel.
Name a few current dj's you are into, producers?
Bubba, Chris James, Sishi Roesh, Miguel Puente, Diego Moreno, Damian Uzabiaga, Whim-e, Mike Fisher, Chembass, Nobody knows, Rebel, Eats Everything, Marcin Czubala, San Soda, Jamie Jones, Richy Ahmed, Lee Foss, Manik, Jonny Cruz, DOTB, Soul Clap, DJ T, Sergio Bernardi...
do you dj at all or perform live?
Im working on a live set right now, will be ready soon… Few gigs coming up in the future...
Hardware? Software?Or both? Tell us about your studio and your favorite piece of gear/vst/program/ect.
I don't have a studio, I just have my macbook and some basic monitors. I would love to own some analog equipment one day, until then I have my much loved Ableton and some plug-ins. My fave VST would have to be Izotope Ozone- the incredible mastering suite with some amazing presets… As i don't have any analog synths, I ilke to hunt the sound I need and sample it directly, maybe from the break of a track, an intro… something I learned from Hiphop.
Your RA page describes when you moved to spain you really became fascinated with peoples old records. Do you still dig in the crates, records stores, and buddies catalogues for classic jams?
Im lucky enough to be friends with a massive House head (Lyonel) who has some proper good house and disco on wax. I owe a lot of my influences in House music to him and his records, he's just started producing so you can expect to hear some dope shit from him somewhere soon. I also spend hours listening to obscure R&B from the 90s, new wave from the 80s and early disco and House on the internet. Youtube has revolutionized crate digging for me as it allows me to go off on a path and surf the associated videos for hours, after a starting point of one particular video you can end up in some crazy places...
Found anything good lately?
Yeah this guy on youtube called Harlemnightsmusic who owns all these classic synths and he makes these really cool triply videos of him playing his own versions of classic 80s synth pop and Disco.
Anything upcoming we should be on the look out for?
Some really cool things happening with Marcin Czubala´s new label- Your Mamas Friend, something on a Digital Delight compilation, a mega cool new label starting up which I can't tell you about yet, an upcoming release on a very well known label, my new live set coming soon, Im going to make a porno…
You would have to write the soundtrack! Tell us a bit about the track we are featuring, thanks by the way for the exclusive download!
Its a track built around a loop taken from Tony Lee´s Love so Deep, pretty basic but thats how i like it...
Thanks for the chat, keep up the great work Lee! We look forward to your future releases!
Thanks for the support <3
