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.

Interview: Louis La Roche

  Hello everyone - welcome back at the discotheque. Today's post is extremely special - as we get to hear from UK based nu disco, pop and French house producer Louis La Roche - a veteran in the French house scene of the late 2000s and an extremely accomplished musician in his own right - with his work amassing tens of millions of streams and a heavy amount of incredible remixes under his belt. It is an honor to get him onto the blog! Without further ado, I'll let him do the talking! For those that don’t know you – who are you, and what music do you make? 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...

Prime summer drops and fun new things!

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque. 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. Anyway, let's get to the awesome new things that have come out! Tater Andersson - Superstars To start off this post, here's something a little bit different. On June 23rd, Norwegian electroclash / blog house musician and producer Tater Andersson released Superstars - a fun, yet dark and exciting punk electro track with some kick ass production, some sweet vocals from the man h...

Late September / early October drops!

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a hot minute since the last promotion post on the blog (to be more specific, a month!) - and over the last two weeks, there's been some incredible releases, happenings and the return of several legends. Without further ado, let's get straight to it. ADRIANWAVE - DEREALIZATION Released independently on September 30th - Derealization is the brand new album from future funk legend Adrianwave and boy, it is absolutely fantastic. Stuffed to the brim with chilled out hip hop beats, golden age future funk that could fit perfectly on Artzie Music and dazzling, sample based disco jams, this - is a fantastic return to form for one of future funk's all time greats. Throughout the ten tracks released on this album, Adrianwave demonstrates his talents widely, creating a fun, interesting and incredibly unique album. My personal favourites on this future classic include Obsessive Compulsive - a groovy, extremely upbeat future f...
