Interview: Opierm

Hey, fellow readers!

Today I have an extremely special person joining the hot seat at ATD - Up and coming filter house producer Opierm. He's making a name for himself in the scene through his undeniable talent behind the boards, along with appearing in multiple groups such as Le Disko Wave and Miss Phantom. He's also the head of Creux La Nuit - a collective focused on bringing back French house in style.

Anyway, enough of me talking - let's hear it from Opierm.

For those that don’t know you – who are you, and what music do you make?

Hello, my name is Opierm (real name Patrick) - I try my best at making French House and sometimes Lo-fi House.

What artists got you into French house, and who inspires you the most in your production?

I'd say that DJ Falcon, Étienne De Crécy and almost all of Cryda and Roulé got me into French House. Honestly, Vanguard or The Phantom's Revenge inspire me the most in my recent works.

If you had to take three albums to a desert island, what would they be?

Shiny Disco Club - Millennium Disco Volume 2
The Phantom's Revenge - Original Tracks
Fred Falke - Part IV

Tell us more about your collective, Creux La Nuit.

Well, Creux La Nuit started in September 2023 - my goal with the collective was to sort of "revive" that 90s French House feel (didn't end up doing it up until mid 2024 I think?) at first it was just like a playground, but since we have been getting more recognized and known in the actual scene, we've been more serious.

What's your favourite food?

My favourite food is sushi.

What are your favourite video games?

I've stopped playing video games that much since I started focusing on music more, but could be Minecraft or Rocket League.

If you could have dinner with one artist, living or dead, who would it be?

I would definitely have dinner with DJ Mehdi, he seemed like such a nice guy to be around with, rest in peace.

What equipment do you use to make your beats?

Just my PC with Ableton and sometimes my MIDI equipment. (Novation Launchkey)

What advice would you give to aspiring filter house producers?

Remake stuff - it'll help you discover new techniques.

Any shoutouts you want to give?

Shoutout to the CLN family, my parents and everyone who likes my music :D

There you have it, everyone. You can go and find Opierm on all of the usual spots (SoundCloud, Spotify, Bandcamp, YouTube) and all of his side projects on various corners of the internet. I want to say a huge thank you to Opierm for letting me interview him - it's been a pleasure.

As always - keep enjoying your stay at the discotheque.

I’m Brett Francis Ewels, I’m a DJ/Producer from the UK. I started my career making French Touch inspired music, which has slowly evolved into Nu Disco and Pop over the years. What musicians, producers and artists inspire you the most in your work overall? It changes everyday. Seriously. Inspiration can come from anywhere. A lot depends on my mood or my headspace. It’s just knowing where to pull from. If it’s a Funk song, it’s t...

Over the last couple of weeks, there's been loads of amazing new releases, and I thought I'd finally get back to doing promotion posts after last week's host of incredible interviews - I can't thank all of the interviewees enough for their co-operation and support - it means the world. I also just quickly want to thank everyone for the support over the last week, the growth for the blog has been insane and I am so happy that people are enjoying a random teenager's ramblings on scenes that really deserve more love - you're all awesome.
