Shinra came onto our radar last year with his Ball & Chain Ep. Excellent well rounded release and we cant wait to hear what he has got coming up next. As usual we got in touch and fired some questions.
“Late last year I was proud to release a 12” EP on Null+Void recordings, which got a great reception. It caught the attention of some fantastic DJs and producers, including Bicep – I’ve been really inspired by the feedback it got. I’ve also had a track out on InFine Music and just had a remix released for Chevron on Balkan Recordings which has gone down well.
The mix was recorded at my studio in North London using Ableton Live, pretty standard setup.
The main themes of the mix are braindance, acid, and electro – the kind of music I love to listen to and produce. I wanted a mix that starts off fairly laidback and melodic, which then moves through the gears to some faster paced dancefloor electro (the kind I’d play in a club DJ set). Lots of analogue wonky synths and snappy drums. I’ve finished off the mix with a track from Dwaalicht (aka Wisp) off his recent EP on Analogical Force – it’s my favourite release of the last few months.”
Up next…
“I’m putting the finishing touches to an EP of braindance/acid for a really great label which got in touch a couple of months ago. I haven’t submitted it yet so it’s not ready to announce, but I’m excited about it. After that I’m intending to work on a potential follow-up release for Null+Void. I’ll probably squeeze a couple of remixes in too. Lots to look forward to!”
