Cooh interview and mix

YELLOW-STRIPE (YS) – When and how did you first start getting interested in and producing Drum & Bass?

COOH (COH)- I was listening to a lot of metal and hardcore music as a kid, because of my older brother had a lot of metal tapes at home and later I found the drum and bass music was the closest sounding to metal electronic music. When I was 16 I was playing in a metal band for some years and then I one of the guys from the band showed me his computer with some program to write electronic music. That�s how I started chasing that heavy sounds.

Lucio De Rimanez itw and free tune

W Jeff Campsey: Seems like there are a number of incredibly talented DnB producers coming out of Russia. How do you think where you live has influenced you in your music?

Lucio De Rimanez: Definitely – Russia is an incredible country with many interesting and talented people. However, I think my parents (rather than my location) have had a greater influence on my music and creativity; my father plays drums and my mother was a professional singer.

Music in control interview Dj Hidden

First off, tell us more about your album The Words Below, for instance where did you get
the inspiration for the title and tracks?
While I had released a lot of 12 inches before The Later After, it was still quite a challenge to
write an entire album. I was happy to see the release getting good reviews though. The
tricky part when creating an album is that the tracks have to both work individually and
simultaneously have to be part of a larger story. When I wrote The Words Below, I decided for more

Fexomat Interview

SBR : Hi ! could you introduce yourself ?

Fexomat: I’m Felix Herberger aka Fexomat , member of NSF [Neurotic Sound Foundation] , Darkstep.org and promo DJ for the drum and bass label “Future Sickness”.

SBR : You have ecletic style of mixing (from darkambiant, to brutal breakcore) what do you use to listen at home ?

Fexomat: i listen to all kinds of stuff at home. from metal to minimal to terrorcore to jazz. i find myself mostly listening to stuff that got released online thru Creative Commons lately , as i think it’s the most interesting music to get out there.i still raid every online label i find , regardless of the genre. I get bored by something really quick , so i always search for new inputs . the only music i don’t listen to is hip hop .

SBR : What is your musical background ? have you played any instrument before turning digital ?

Fexomat: I learned piano and bass guitar and played in several bands before i got into DJing in 97/98. it was just messing around with some friends tho my musical background basicly starts with Jazz (my parents used to listen to it ) , to metal (mostly trash / speed metal) to EBM / Industrial / Gothic and goes to drum and bass / jungle in 96/97..now listen to everything from gypsy folk to black metal.

SBR : Your mix are really complex ableton live stuff with lots of different style metal/dnb/breakcore all together. why and when do you choose to turn digital for djiing?

Fexomat : When i tried to set up my first metal mix (metalcore) , i wanted it to have parts that are mixed rather than blended or cut ..and that is pretty impossible without warping the tunes digital .that made me check out ableton live.. but in the end it was just a matter of time – when i was dj’ing with vinyl i bought all the bootleg remixes on whitelabel i could get..always wanted to do those myself

SBR : How would you describe your style as a dj and as a producer ?

Fexomat : i guess just mashup fits the best . maybe “experimental” for my tunes ..i hate genres haha

SBR : If you could make a collab with an artist (electronic or non electronic) who would you choose ?

Fexomat : trent reznor \m/

SBR : How is the darkstep/breakcore scene here in Berlin ?

Fexomat : small and good

SBR : Have you got some controller for live djiing ?

Fexomat : I use an Alesis X25 contoller/audio interface .

SBR : How do you see the future of djing and digital djing in particular ?

Fexomat : I guess it will always be the same : eventually – the only thing that counts is the mood you create in the club. never got why people flip out when a dj performs digital . the music is the only thing that counts. ..i must admit tho , that i’m one of those assholes who immediately stops dancing if a DJ trainwrecks a mix..so i prefer it when they perform digital haha

SBR : If you had to go to a desert island what 3 LP/EP would you take with you ?

Fexomat : NIN – “The downward spiral”

NIN – “Pretty Hate Machine”

Megadeth – “Rust in Peace” ….

i could live on them for years

SBR : What about your future ?

Fexomat : I hope to visit more foreign countries to play there. that is realy the most interesting part about beeing a dj … i just love how different every country / crowd has been so far …we’ll see.. i won’t stop annoying you..that’s for sure
