This mix you are about to hear is a special one for me. I recorded it solely with the dusty records that I learnt to mix on from the very beginning. Jack Woodward and I used to collect a lot of house and disco and got so much energy from the warmth. I wanted to revisit the very thing that brought me into this dancing world. This one is for you Jack <3
Velodrome is the reason I am the artist I am today. It gave me so much opportunity to find new music through events, and feel comfortable taking these new found inspirations to the studio. I am so grateful that the team trusted me to make the music that resonated so deeply with me and putting out that first release has awoken a terrifying passion to keep going!
I draw my inspiration from music out of Aus and Europe mostly. I love deeper sounds and have been really inspired by European dance floors recently. My music can be highly emotional so I also take huge inspiration from where I am at in life and how I am feeling. I am a huge softy and that comes out!
I would say a good way to start is ask for help from your friends that also make music. It is so incredible to see how people you love make such immersive sounds and getting an insight into that process can help you take the first step. Learning isn’t easy but one bit of advice I can give is let the music guide you. Sometimes the best things you make are totally unexpected, and I think that’s amazing. Hey if you find you really resonate with making classical oboe/trap crossovers then just run with it.
The entrance was exciting and terrifying. It took a bit of getting used to but when we all got settled it was like old times. It is good to be back.
I am thankful for my friends, housemates and support all around the world. It has been a chaotic year but it is the care, love and friendship that has really stuck out for me and a lot of people. Be kind to people, send that message and bring that dance floor energy whenever you can.
I am working on a few releases for next year but for now they will have to stay Hush hush heheh
