Interview: ZeroZed

 


Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque.

For today's interview, we have American producer ZeroZed joining the hot seat at ATD - he's known for producing an eclectic mix of garage, French house and if it's your thing - drum and bass, too. He's also a member of both Deladapt Records and Creux La Nuit, so he's recognizable in various places!

Without further ado, I'll let him do the talking.

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

I'm ZeroZed - I mainly make UKG & jungle music, but I also do french house.

What are some of your inspirations musically?

I'd say that Todd Edwards inspired me (no pun intended) but I am also inspired by the whole Todd Edwards fan crew. I'm not really inspired by anybody for my jungle music!

You recently released your latest EP, Needing on Deladapt Records / CLN – can you tell us some of the production secrets behind it?

For the first track (I Need You) I just stole drums from a WIP version of Luv4Loop's "The Answer" and the bass I stole from Sauve La Musique's WIP of a track called Reach Out :P

Building onto that, what programs / equipment do you use to make music?

It's a whole jumble of a mess - I used to use LMMS before switching to FL Studio, but I use Ableton for collaborations - nothing physical though, maybe except for a CD player.

If you had to take three albums to a desert island – which releases would you pick?

Honestly, I don't know! (I'm just a producer, so check my last.fm!)

My favourite track of yours is your edit of “Love Sensation” on the joint single between you and Luv4Loop – how did that come about?

So, I first used FL Studio for the WIP, and Luv4Loop wanted to collab, so I sent the project file - but he used Ableton - so I remade it in Live 12, but realized that wouldn't work because he uses Live 11, so I down converted it.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Do you think I know where I see myself in one year?

If you were allowed to have lunch with one artist you love, living or dead, who would that be, and why?

Michael Jackson in 1984 so I can tell him not to go to that Pepsi commercial.

Do you want to give any tips to aspiring producers?

Honestly, I need tips myself!

Do you want to give any shoutouts to anyone?

Danny Shazam, Najjan, TG, Sauve La Musique, Garx, Klaus Veen, Luis Obando, Fidel Guzman, Ayala. basically anyone in the Todd Edwards fan crew because that's why I started making music in the first place.

There you have it, everyone.

You can find ZeroZed on Bandcamp.

As always, keep enjoying your stay at the discotheque.

In this post - there are several people who regular readers will know - and also a bunch of new talents that are making their debut on the blog. Get the popcorn. This is going to be an extra special post! Let's get started! Discoholic (feat. Vampire Loves Sunny) - Sparkle On! One of my favourite releases to come out so far this year - the brand new single from Washington D.C based DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Discoholic is absolutely incredible - and it brings me so, so much joy. As always, the production on this single is absolutely phenomenal - it's effortlessly clean, sparkly (see what I did there?) and extremely bright and fun. As per usual, the instrumentation is gorgeous, rich and glittery - making it a perfect track to spin at parties, or just ...
