Brawther is a Parisian producer with links to the midlands in the UK and by the sound of things, he is a producer I should really know a lot more about. George Fitzgerald is on the remix of ‘Spaceman Funk‘, a track I would really like to get hold of. To find out more about Brawther, check out this interview I found on Juno Plus. Big up.

Straight out of Austin, Texas, VVV has been smashing the new wave of Garage music (I hate the phrase Future Garage, what’s future about it?). This is the latest productiion to hit my feed on Soundcloud. Love the vocals on this…
Throwing Snow is a diverse musician, drawing influence from anything from Folk to Dubstep, as we can see here in his beautiful new remix of a track by one of my favourite bands at the moment, Glasser.
I have been talking to Δ Δ since November/December last year and have also posted up some of his music. I am particularly proud to rep this guy seeing as he is a fellow Greek (not many of us are doin’ it)! He has been kind enough to answer some questions and put down a special Get Some mix, great tracklist by the way, so have a read and listen and waste the rest of the afternoon with us!
GET SOME X Δ Δ INTERVIEW
Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Dimitri, I write and produce electronic music as Δ Δ.
Where are you currently based?
I live in Athens, Greece.
When did you first get involved with music and what were you doing?
I started playing music at the age of 12, when my parents got me my very own drum kit. I guess something must have clicked right then and there…
What’s your background as a music maker?
For years I was playing drums in local hardcore and punk bands, but always felt the need to work on something completely different. Being a self taught drummer with no formal musical training whatsoever, it was scary and exciting to find ways in which I could compose music.
The first time I recorded something on my own was when I got an old microphone and started recording sounds and chopping them up into small loops. It sounded like crap at the time, but it felt good doing it, so I never stopped. Since then I try to get my hands on whatever makes a sound.
What were the musical influences of your childhood?
I grew up on a steady diet of hardcore punk and hip hop, stuff like Wu-Tang, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Eazy-E, but I was fascinated by electronic music, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, LFO and The Future Sound of London being the first that come to mind.
At the time I discovered most things through my older brother, who’s been instrumental in my involvement with music. I remember going through every record I could get my hands on and carefully studying the structures of songs, the textures and the groove.
What musicians and producers have had the biggest impact on your life and productions?
There are just so many to mention. I’ve been a record nerd all my life, so this has always been the hardest question to answer. I’m always interested in things I don’t know, so whenever I discover something new, I immediately get lost in it. If I had to narrow it down to only a few, off the top of my head I’d have to say anything involving Gerald Donald (Drexciya, Dopplereffekt, Arpanet, Der Zyklus etc), Low, Muslimgauze, Minutemen, Ryoji Ikeda, Legowelt, Aphex Twin, Giorgio Moroder, Raymond Scott, Townes Van Zandt, Vince Clarke, Fennesz, The Beach Boys, Popol Vuh, David Axelrod, Pierre Henry…
How would you describe your music?
There’s a question I usually avoid. I wouldn’t know how to describe it really, since I don’t operate within a particular style or sound. A song starts when i stumble upon a sound I can mess around with and from there it evolves gradually over time into the final composition.
How has the music industry changed since you first got involved? In your opinion, has the online revolution has a positive effect on what you do and the music industry?
Obviously it’s had a positive effect, as it creates whole new possibilities and allows you a place to exist, a distinctive voice, which I find extremely liberating and fundamentally human. Of course, it only makes sense that music is moving parallel to the rate communications and the internet are evolving. As far the industry itself is concerned, I’d like to believe that people who bought records and are interested in music will keep on buying records and supporting the people that created them. MP3s are like the flyers of this generation. The record on the other hand has a life of its own. I never heard of anyone fetishizing over something as lifeless as an MP3.
If you had all the time and money in the world, what project would you embark on?
A center for the research of electronic music and a label to publish that work. I was always fascinated by the work of early musique concrete studios and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, so the idea to recreate something within that spirit with the technologies that are available now, is definitely something i could imagine myself doing. Also, it’d be really funny to play music in lab coats.
Who do you think is the most interesting new artist at the moment and why?
There’s so much good music out there, it’s difficult to pick just one. One who definitely deserves more recognition, even though he’s been around for a few years, is Maxmillion Dunbar. He’s got a really consistent body of work and has a lot more to offer. Just have a listen to “Cool Water” and you’ll see what I mean.
What can we expect from you in 2011?
“Sportex” will be out soon on Pushing Red with a remix by Ikonika, it’s my very first release and I honestly couldn’t think of a better way to start the year! Hopefully, more releases and gigs will follow along the way, I’ve yet to see where it all takes me…
Who should we be watching in 2011?
Boddika, Instra:mental, Raime, Blawan, Joe, Giganta, Riffs, Vital Heat. Keep your ears open and you’ll find amazing music where you least expect it.
Where would you like your music and life to be in 12 months?
12 months is a long time, I don’t even know where i’m gonna be tomorrow, let alone in 12 months from now. Hopefully, my dog will finally find a mate, my cat’s leg will heal and I’ll find a few more sounds to mess around with.
And finally, please complete the following sentence…

Lone has uploaded a stunning track on his soundcloud…this will have you daydreaming away at your desk…
Hot of the press! Jamie Woon’s Lady Luck is remixed to a brilliant Justin Timberlakesque sensation. Release date: 4th April.
Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden and Caribou’s Daniel Snaith are planning a split vinyl release, although it is unclear as to when it will be out. Daphni is an alias of Daniel Snaith’s and the word is that a few of the tracks on Caribou’s last album ‘Swim‘ were actually Daphni tracks. ‘Ye Ye‘ could have also have been on that album by the sounds of things, even if this tracks has a bit more of the 3am’s about it! ‘Pinnacles‘ is a classic Four Tet cut, exactly what you would expect from Kieran Hebden and I for one am not complaining. Check them out.

These two gems popped up on my Soundcloud feed this morning and I couldn’t help but share them with you. ‘Outline To Cross‘ is from a Mary Anne Hobbs Radio One clip which sounds like it might be from a while back as MAH had never heard of Roof Light, interesting. ‘Gathering The Apples‘ is lifted straight from Giles Peterson‘s show, ‘Worldwide Radio One‘. Both really melodic, ambient and hypnotic pieces of electronic music, beautiful. Enjoy.
