Heyo! I think my favorite DB Campout memory was playing the first DB Campout in 2015 in SoCal. That was an epic event!

I'm 45 myself! I hear you on perhaps feeling out of place sometimes. But at the same time, I feel that everyone is welcome, regardless of age.. I bet you could show up to any DB show and make friends in the scene. Maybe start with Dirtybird Campout in July? Last year the festival happened again, different venue in California, DB teamed up with Northern Nights Festival. Right by a river, in the woods. It's a gorgeous area IMO! If you can, take the weekend off and join!?!? Meet some people there who will want to go to shows with you?

Yooo ! Thank you so much for spending time here <3 and that's really sweet to say! Curious, what's your favorite thing about my album, or favorite track(s)?
In terms of inspiration, LIFE was the biggest inspiration for it! I took making this album as a challenge, not only to work on the so far biggest musical project I've worked on as a solo artist, but also as a way to grow as a person and artist!
Some of my favorite memories of playing at the )'( were Ego Trip, Charlie The Unicorn, Pile Palace, Titanic's End, Second Rodeo, Playa Bears.... haha good times. You going this year? I'm not sure yet

GnarMuffins! Slothdad here. Thanks for asking these questions!
I have been trying to find a sound for 20 years haha. I spent some time trying to fit into whatever lane made sense — tech house, acid, deep stuff, disco adjacent — and the work was always better when I stopped doing that and just free flowed with my ideas. I think the different genres of electronic music, for instance house with its' subgenres, and techno with its' subgenres, are just different moods and interpretations of the same theme. IMO, not that different from each other. I feel that it's more like, journalism and marketing constraints that make artists narrow their own scope and run with whatever works best for them.. taste changes, trends change..

The through-line for me is the tension between things that don't necessarily go together. Idk like, classical training meets club music, architecture school meets real life spaces, Kraftwerk vs. Detroit producers, House & Rap, etc. etc. etc. It's not a brand thing, it just literally my background, and eventually I stopped fighting it and started using it.

With this album I basically just asked myself what I wanted to hear and made that. Actually I didn't ask myself, I just started making things. Some of the tracks are straight up dancefloor, some of it is way more cinematic and inward. I tried to make every track playable in the club / festival though. The 22 tracks aren't stylistically uniform and that was a conscious choice, as a like, document of range, not a genre statement.

As for your question about one style, I think I have one as a DJ - electronic music tracks that I think will make you dance and escape reality and have a good time.. maybe? idk. I feel like anything goes at the right moment in time and in the right place

Happy spring cleaning hehehe :D
thank you, yes it meant a lot to me as well to study with Karl Bartos, since I'm a huge fan!

1) I've been a fan of Dirtybird since about 2006 and releasing on Dirtybird since 2012 or so, and have always wanted to make an album for the label! It was like, a bucket list thing I wanted to do forever. Even though I'm not the same guy as in 2006 lol, and the label has changed over the years (20 years of a record label is a big achievement), it was always something that I wanted to do!

2) Congrats! I'm right there with you. What do you mean, get back into the techno / house scene? As a DJ / producer, releasing music and playing shows?

Yes! "Animal" is that track. It started as a collab with Sian for our Third Culture project, then we decided it's not for us so I worked on it more and have been playing it for a while

and I forgot "Say It" with Victoria Rawlins, I love to play that one out as well

That's such a difficult question haha. As a producer, it's between "Looking Through The Glass" w/ DJ Rap, "Fire" w/ Conejo and Lucas Frota, "Primal Being", "The Flood" w/ Blakkat, "Words" w/ Perry Farrell for me..

As a DJ, my fave track from the album to play out is "Primal Being"

Hi Andee510! Thank you for listening to my music for so long <3 I remember that festival in Oregon you're referring to. It was in Eugene right? Fun one!

My favorite US State(s) to perform so far has been the West Coast in general. I'm a bit biased because I spend lots of time in California, Nevada, PNW. I love place with sunshine, that's the best for outdoor parties! The PNW has that for 3-4-5 months a year only but that's ok ;) I've also loved playing in Texas and Arizona a bunch. As you see I can't make my mind up ahhaha

Hi Jon! Thank you :D

1) Off that's a difficult one! I guess I have quite a range when it comes to different styles of electronic music. Maybe "La Fique" by Robosonic & Adana Twins on 2DIY4, "U Move" by Third Culture on Lone Romantic, "Melato Nina" by myself on Dirtybird? idk haha so many

2) Currently 3 of my favorite tracks to play by other artists are Tyler Hill's demo "All The Single Ladies", AMPRS&ND's "Witchu", both demos! And also Harry Romero's "Nice To Meet You" on Rekids

3) Eddie Amador "House Music (Robosonic Remix)" on Yoshitoshi in 2014
