GET SOME UK UK MUSIC, ART AND CULTURE

Brooklyn’s Daniel Lopatin has been gently and carefully constructing his vision of sound since back in 2007 when Betrayed In The Octagon met with critical if not commercial acclaim marking his rite of passage as a fully fledged recording artist and demonstrating all of the flourishes fans have come to know and love; Lopatin has gone on to release four more trademark albums ahead of 2011′s Replica, with 2010′s Returnal marking perhaps the most charged ambition with which to break through the misty arena of fan worship and scorch a path through bigger and broader horizons. Now with the piano drenched melancholic Replica due to drop next month he will surely see that dream bear fruit. Check this video for a taste of what’s to come:

Remixes for The XX and Ellie Goulding have been followed up with a solid debut release on legendary dance music label R&S. Fresh from recording his debut mix for Mary Anne Hobbs’ experimental show on Radio 1 we caught up with Pariah for a quick interview. This kid is on a tear right now, make sure you catch him at GET SOME on June 19 and big up MAH for the shout out!

Who are you and what do you do?

My name’s Arthur, I’m 22 and I produce music under the name Pariah.

Where are you from and where are you now?

I’m originally from Scotland but I moved down to London about 4 years ago.

When did you first get involved with music and what were you doing?

I guess I’ve always been involved with music from a very young age but I started producing about a year and a half ago. I’d messed about on Logic before when I was about 16 or 17 but I never really learnt how to do anything.

First record you bought? Last record you bought?

I know that the first tape I was given was either a Gloria Estefan or Michael Jackson album and that was when I was about 7 or 8. God knows what the first record I bought was. The last one I bought was the new Oneohtrix Point Never album, “Returnal”. Its amazing!

What is your most memorable moment in music?

Mixing for Mary Anne Hobbs’ show.

Where/Who do you get you inspiration from?

Burial, Brian Eno, Boards of Canada, Move D, early Aphex Twin, Garage, Jungle.

What’s next for you/your label?

My next release is a 2×12″ on R&S which is called “Safehouses EP”. Hopefully gonna get the masters finished in the next week or so.

If your career in music never was, what would you be doing now?

Well, I’m still at uni at the moment so I guess I’d probably just be doing that…. not hugely exciting haha.

Who should we be watching in 2010?

There’s so much good stuff around at the moment. Hessle and Hemlock are killing it at the moment. R&S has some truly amazing music coming in the next few months too.

And finally, please complete the following sentence…

GET SOME… nuts
