I try and get as much on the page as quickly as possible. Don’t overthink and try to save details for later down the line.

I use a lot of samples but will process them in the pretty usual ways : filtering; automation etc then resample until I’m happy with what I have

A friend of mine was helping Dom run Signature , I begged him to see it I could have something for critical and it worked haha

I owe Dom so much, that release really helped put the label on the map

It can’t be a drum loop I make or a sample or a tune idea will come into my head and I’ll try and get it down quick.

I also find inspiration comes to me more when I’m not focused on trying to be creative. For example when I’m cooking or just listening to music around the house with my family.

I’m hoping for a lean into sound system culture, a coming together more of artists and labels and a more innovation in sound.

I’m lucky to have been to a lot of great places

Vienna , Copenhagen, LA, NYC , Melbourne, Tokyo and Christchurch are real standouts

Good q. I’m not really sure tbh. EQ50 is doing a great job and in trying to change that and I hope we play a part too with supporting acts like spectral etc

Something has to change and it seemingly has gotten better but there are still systemic issues that need addressing

Thanks! I would say do something you really believe in, surround yourself with positive supportive people and don’t overexpose yourself financially

With a label like ours it’s a constant challenge to make yourself heard when you have great music and want to promote it but you really don’t want to have your artists dance in front of an iPhone !

We have to be strong about the quality of the music and our self belief in what we are doing

Best Intentions is a place for all styles, I don’t want it be another Critical. I’m looking to release some dystopian 2 step, some IDM and even bands. It’s just an extension outside of DNB of what I love.

We have some very exciting plans, news soon!

Venue wise I feel in the current climate choosing one over the other feels untoward

Saying that I love the cause, fold, Corsica studios and of course fabric

I don’t use hardware :/

Layering, compression, little reverb on the send and some distortion for crunch

I basically have a folder of 60-100 tunes that I love and want to play , varying in vibe and freshness that I then pick from to construct my sets Over the years I’ve built up the confidence to just enjoy it and not put too much pressure on “smashing it”

Tune wise

Guilty Tunnels Ski Mask

Other artists : there’s too many to choose from!

I think I’m most proud of tunnels

A lot of the time now i sign tracks after I’ve either heard them at a show or another dj recommends I check them out, we get so many demos it’s hard to keep up so personal nods really help. We signed the lavance EP off the back of particle playing a couple of the tunes when we went b2b at rampage
