yes, great interview. interesting that he came to the 'crackle' on his own, not through basic channel or pole or the other usual suspects

re: all of the talk about female vocal samples. i was reminded of the first time that i heard Burial's "nite train," with the sample "close your eyes, let the rhythm get in" from michael jackson's 'rock with you'

it's all good apart from the fact that it's so obviously someone on the scene pretending to be some unknown south london garage head youth....

why would anyone bother doing that ?
juset because you haven't seen him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

proabably to create a bit of mystery - woooh. rumours already mentioned in interview.
there's this producer and nobody's ever met him except kode 9 - yeah right.
reference points are just too perfect - too much following the current party political line - foul play, hyper-on experience, photek, metalheadz, steve gurley, el-b, groove chronicles, atmospheres, anti-musicianship etc. tbh imo it reads like someone a bit older, with a fair bit of academic education and not originally from south london and with an agenda they're trying to push writing / speaking like they think a south london youth would. we'll see...i'm happy to be proved wrong...

look there's too much transparency in the music industry already - 'units', politics, factions, marketing etc - what's wrong with a bit of mystery and magic? i could tell you who he is to stop you being so cynical, but wouldn't that just totally break the spell?

point taken and a good point, but my 'smoke and mirror' alarms did go off. i'll reign in my cynicism, you cast a more powerful spell next time. and as devils broth says, all this talk is just increasing the mystery...

people knowing what your boat looks like is'nt important if you make tunes really, it;s only important if you are a pop singer or a rapper etc..

This is just fantastic:

Fairly blown away by his discussions of how he makes his tracks just in a wave editor without sequencing anything...

I know someone who does this with mind-blowing results.

Only problem comes when you want to remaster/mixdown/remix the tune....

i'm amazed at him using soundforge. there is a pressure to go the high end cubase route, good on him for finding such an amazing sound with such a basic set up. just goes to show how limits can be liberating sometimes.

soundforge... meh. if he was really hardcore he'd draw the waveform on a roll of toilet paper with a crayon and scan it.


hasn't he heard of warez? soundforge???? *cries*

Really enjoyed this interview Martin.

The album and breezeblock set next Monday night are looking like musical highlights this year already.
