The record is a result of studio sessions with co-producers Andrew McDonnell (Petite Noir, SUNS) and Dan Brown (Massive Attack, Karin Park). Currently living in East London, the red-haired "origami pop" artist takes a few minutes to reveal what's going on inside the paper folds.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Hi there, how are you and what are you up to today?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm trying to relax! I just released my debut album 'Makeshift Happiness'. It's been a lot of work and sleepless nights but it feels good to have it out finally. I'd like to stop for a moment and take it all in. I'm grateful for all the interest in it, as for me it's important that my music reaches people and opens up some kind of dialogue or exchange of energy. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>To those not familiar with you, how would you describe your sound?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Origami Pop</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What are the 5 albums that have influenced you the most?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I listen to such diverse music that doesn't necessarily sound like mine, but here are some of my favourite female artists who've influenced me:</span><br /> <br /> <ol> <li>Bjork - Homogenic</li> <li>Moloko - Statutes</li> <li>Sia - Some People Have Real Problems</li> <li>Little Dragon - Ritual Union</li> <li>Feist - The Reminder</li> </ol> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Which other artists are you into at the moment and why?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm really enjoying Jessy Lanza's new album 'Oh No' as the production is awesome, her melodies and use of effects are really unique and I like that she is making pop and RnB music with depth. She seems to be quite an introverted person so I relate to that as I'm a reluctant front person myself. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think Shura is amazing too, her songs are so polished and catchy and she's another 'anti-pop' artist in the sense that she's not what you would expect when you hear her music. Also I love that Christine and the Queens is doing so well, with a quite eccentric take on pop music that's somehow broken into the mainstream. We need more of that in the Top 40!</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm enjoying a new artist from Seattle called Liyv, who makes 'sad music for people who like bright colours'. And I'm expecting big things in future from Australian artist Chela who's released some great singles with Kitsune and I Heart Comix. </span><br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3vj7DhJSueY" width="560"></iframe> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Are there any key pieces of equipment that you are using to define your sound? </b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I was working with the two main producers on my record, we tried to keep to a few synth sounds to maintain some consistency, like the Juno 106, Moog and Prophet 5. I used to write songs with a guitar a lot and although I'm trying get away from that, there are still some guitar parts in the mix. I used to write more folky music and play live with a guitar but now I'm exploring what kit to use that makes sense with my current sound. I'll probably use a Novation keyboard in future to control some of the sounds. I'm still working on how best to construct the live show. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The UK music scene is certainly always changing. Some might say that at the moment it’s more electronic oriented. Do you think this makes it more difficult for indie and alternative acts to get recognition than it would have done ten years ago?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What would you say some of the challenges artists face today in the music industry?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think the internet and all the platforms you can access for free are really helpful for independent artists to get their music out there. However, the downside to that is there is so much music coming out every day of varying quality, it's so hard to be heard above all the noise. I also think the focus on social media and numbers of followers is very limiting and it can leave behind a lot of talented people who are not so into promoting themselves on things like snapchat and Instagram. I don't like taking many selfies, so unfortunately that can be an issue in this day and age of 'over-sharing'. It would be nice to just make music, but sadly the reality is, you have to do all these other internet things, even if you do have a big record label behind you.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Where do you gather song writing inspiration? </b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I mostly get inspiration from people and strangers around me, as well as past experiences and emotions. I think I'm quite an empathic person and I take a mental note of how I sense that people are feeling, like when I overhear conversations on a busy street or in a cafe. In a big city like London you're faced with close up encounters of strangers every day and I find it interesting to observe people who might just be sitting on their daily commute on the London underground and I wonder what they are thinking, what's motivating them, what's makes them sad. I'm probably projecting a lot of my own feelings onto my songs, but that's how some of the themes are sparked in the first place. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Take us through your songwriting process. Are there any particular steps you take when put music together?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I tend to start with some kind of musical structure, like I'll play some guitar chords or listen to a beat or arrangement that a someone has sent me to write to. For me the words and melody come at the same time and I find it hard to separate the two. Even if the words start out a bit nonsensical, there'll be a theme that appears and I'll build on that, slowly refining the lyrics and melody until I'm happy with it. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I use to drive a lot for a job, in and out of London, so I've actually written a lot of my songs in the car! I find that it works best when I'm actually concentrating on something else like driving, as that's when the best melodies and lyrics seem to appear. I think it has something to do with tapping into your sub-conscious.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What’s the best gig you have ever done and why?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The best gig I've done was when I released my first ever single independently called 'Your Heart' at the Lock Tavern in Camden, London. It's not that it was a very big or impressive show or anything, it's just that I'd finally pulled together a band of talented musicians and promoted my own show with some other great artists playing before me. All my good friends and supporters were in the room and there was just a really nice energy. I said before that I'm a reluctant entertainer, so it was nice to have a live show go really well and feeling so much positivity in the room. I'm hoping for more of that in future -  quality over quantity. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>And the worst?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I played at a terrible 'festival' once in Newquay, Cornwall. It was headlined by some great artists like Aluna George, but they put all the lesser known acts on a stage in a random pub in the town. They clearly didn't plan or promote it properly, so we were all playing to random locals and stag and hen parties who weren't actually part of the festival at all. The main stage was on the beach and it was so windy and rainy I think the whole day had a poor turnout. I won't name the promoter, but I know I wasn't the only artist who had a bad experience that day! </span><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/286990709&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>If you weren't a musician what would you be? </b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think I'd like to be a photographer.

Fire Department and the Department of Building and Safety. "And you can’t live here. So it’s basically shutting me down entirely."<br /> <br /> Cassel's two-story warehouse is an otherwise unobtrusive space in an industrial zone in Del Rey. It's estimated that there are hundreds of underground art spaces in the city Los Angeles that also lack the required permits to operate as housing or music venues. Cassel claims he's not alone, and knows several other venues that have been foreclosed, but prefers not to name names.<br /> <br /> "Some of these spaces should be shut down," he admits, but warns against the possibility of decimating L.A.'s arts community and driving spaces even more underground (and thereby even less regulated).<br /> <br /> "The reason there’s so many is that there’s a need for it," he says. "People across the country want to have a space to go that is not a bar, not a club, not a church and not some hotel banquet room. They want to have a creative space."</div> </div>

The 4-track split EP is a product of tracks individually created by the two artists and released in a shared collection.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> <br /> In the span of a single year, John De Lord (PKA Delo) has seen support from the likes of Dusk & Blackdown, Addison Groove and the Swamp81 fam, and opened for the likes of Dillinja and Zinc. Synchronously, John Randall (PKA Yak)’s tunes have graced the sets of Dusk & Blackdown and Loefah as well, plus those of Hodge, Paleman, Plastician, Lamont and Troy Gunner (to name a few), and he’s shared the booth with the likes of Call Super, Walton, Alex Coulton, Palms Trax, Ejeca and Dark Sky. This well-earned good will surrounding the two Johns at the moment is enheartening; the fitting buzz almost palpable – both indicative of the continued health and recursive growth of the wellspring that is "the UK sound".<br /> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> Delo’s "S-Wer" is a skeletal, syncopated 909 workout punctuated by namesake onomatopoeic vocal cuts, sporadic sub pulses and bubbly percussive trills. Never before (outside the realm of yesteryear minimal techno) has a track done more with less.<br /> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> Moving on, Yak’s "Anju" is a steppy ting, starting off as a stripped-back soulful garage number, before shifting gears into a bassline-driven belter riddim. As said bassline strobes and slithers along, Yak gradually brings back the funk and soul, expertly balancing heft and poise with almost jazz-inflected flair. One of those rare day & night tracks – equally effective in the club, at home, and on the way to and from.<br /> <br /> Delo retakes the lead with "Hades", a serpentine, cone-tearing blend of Shackleton-esque, halcyon-days dubstep and contemporaneous club rigueur. This murky, plutonic invocation moves forward with a gait that’s as graceful as it is ponderous – nigh-hypnotic in its Afrofuturist vocal juju.<br /> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> Yak rounds out the split with "Magg" – a drum tool so clap-happy it almost seems like it’s applauding itself in real time as it rolls along... and the applause is well- deserved, as its baroque percussive anatomy is reminiscent of a batucada, in its festive ebullience.<br /> <br /> <iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/283207055&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> <b>"Coaction" Tracklist</b><br /> 01.

With both a <a href="http://bbc.in/2fAtC4C"><b>BBC Radio One</b> mix for <b>Toddla T</b></a> and a <b>Boiler Room</b> set already notched up, we recently picked up on his UK dancehall remix of <b>Cadenza's</b><i> No Drama (Feat. Avelino & Assassin)</i> and thought we'd catch a few words with him before he blasts off completely.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-nnZBFfMreg" style="text-align: center;" width="560"></iframe></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <b>Where's your hometown? What's the scene like?<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b><br /> <br /> I grew up in Watford where the general vibe was snakebites, vodka bars and loutish behaviour. It was only when I began hanging around in St.Albans that my interest in music really grew to the next level. When I was there, St.Albans was a massively creative city with all of my friends being in some way or another involved in music, art, photography, or fashion. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> <br /> <b>Tell us a bit about how you got started? <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b><br /> <br /> The start for me was during my mid teens when garage, 4x4 and grime were hugely influential. From there I began producing on a fruity loops demo when I was 17. It wasn't until the following years when Dubstep began to blow that I got seriously involved in it. The dubstep parties back then were the best thing going, in my eyes. Being immersed in the birth of a new sound was massively inspirational, too. We used to travel to Leeds often for the <b>DMZ Exodus</b> parties at the West Indian Centre as well as all the <b>Caspa</b> and <b>Rusko </b>parties at <b>Fabric</b>. Those were the days.<br /> <br /> <b>For those unfortunate souls that haven’t had the chance to listen to you yet, how would you describe it?</b><br /> <br /> Weird, synthetic, bass driven, technical dance grooves.<br /> <br /> <iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/281083953&color=000000&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe> <b><br /></b> <b><br /></b><br /> <b>What's your process when selecting music for a show? Where do you find your stuff?<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b><br /> <br /> My selection comes from all over. I've got a really eclectic taste in music. I tend to try keep the vibe moving with sounds from different scenes just so it doesn't become stagnant and repetitive. <br /> <br /> <b>Can you talk us through your production process? </b><br /> <br /> It all depends on how I'm feeling that day, to be honest. Like any creative outlet, there's never a set way of doing things. But usually I start by trying to find the weirdest sound possible either a sample or a synth and then spark an idea from there. I'll create a groove with some crazy sounds then just build on it. I love experimenting with weird sounds. The weirder the better in my eyes. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> <br /> <b>What are your biggest musical influences? Are they all similar?<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b><br /> <br /> <b>DMZ, Night Slugs, Cashmere Cat, Hud Mo, Diplo</b> to name a few. I would say they're all different in their own right. But they've all mastered the sound at which there in. <b>Hud Mo</b> and <b>Diplo </b>have stretched even further and mastered the art of producing their own sound in many different styles and genres, which is what I aspire to.<br /> <br /> <b>Can you tells us your top 3 favourite tracks ever? (Sorry, we know it's tough!)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b><br /> <br /> Its so hard to answer these questions but these 3 are the ones that bring back the most memories for me.<br /> <br /> <b>Main Ingredient</b><i> - Summer Breeze</i><br /> <i><br /></i> <b>Collie Buddz</b><i> - Herb Tree</i><br /> <i><br /></i> <b>Jimi Hendrix </b><i>- Wind Cries Mary</i><br /> <br /> <b>What would you say is the best set you've done so far? <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b><br /> <br /> Another tough one. I think my first <b>Boiler Room</b> is one that sticks out most to me. That was fun.<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <b> Any funny moments you remember from backstage or on tour?<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b><br /> <br /> <b>TSVI </b>was playing in Berlin, so myself and <b>Wallwork </b>went with. Insert were shooting a documentary on us at the time. A lot of funny moments, all very hazy if Im honest. I'm sure there's some very incriminating footage of me that I'm praying will never see the light of day. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> <b><br /></b> <b>If you could support one act, dead or alive, who would it be?<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b><br /> <br /> <b>Oasis</b>, in the height of their career. Those guys knew how to party.<br /> <br /> <b>Does your inspiration usually come randomly or do you manage to summon it?</b><br /> <br /> Summoning inspiration is a very tricky thing. There's things you can do to maybe spark that inspiration like searching for new music, going to a dance or just messing around with some synths, which I try to do a lot of the time. Sometimes, even with those things, it may not happen. I try and keep myself active with music to keep the inspiration flowing.<br /> <br /> <b>Do you have anything exciting coming up that we should be looking out for? </b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /> My second EP for<i> Nervous Horizon</i> is almost finished and will be released early 2017.

Starring Cianciolo as "an anonymous corporate woman," according to a statement from director Alex Carver, the film takes place where the "distant past and distant futures are irrationally fused in a bizarre, iconic vision of martyrdom where animals are citizens and people are drones".<br /> <br /> Hopelessness is the title track of ANONHI's powerfully political and emotional 2016 album, on which her anger and sadness about climate change, drone warfare, male violence and mass surveillance is articulated over stirring synths, complex beats and eclectic instrumentation. Naomi Campbell starred in a previous video from the album, the emotional 'Drone Bomb Me.'<br /> <br /> View both videos below<br /> <br /> ANOHNI - Hopelessness <br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5ZW1BBkquFA" width="100%"></iframe> <br /> ANOHNI – Drone Bomb Me <br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aUEoic7ro_o" width="100%"></iframe></div>

The full-length, 54-minute album follows on from 2016's The Ship and 2012's Lux. The album is titled Reflection and according to Eno is "the latest work in a long series."<br /> <br /> According to the ambient composer, whose full name is Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno, the pieces are generative works of art, creating music by a cosind system of probability and rules. In other words, the piece will unfold differently every time it is activated. The album represents a selection of recordings of various iterations of those unfoldings.<br /> <br /> On the album itself, he went on to add: "When I make a piece like this most of my time is spent listening to it for long periods — sometimes several whole days — observing what it does to different situations, seeing how it makes me feel. I make my observations and then tweak the rules. Because everything in the pieces is probabilistic and because the probabilities pile up it can take a very long time to get an idea of all the variations that might occur in the piece. One rule might say 'raise one out of every 100 notes by five semitones' and another might say 'raise one out of every 50 notes by seven semitones.' If those two instructions are operating on the same data stream, sometimes — very rarely — they will both operate on the same note...so something like one in every 5000 notes will be raised by 12 semitones. You won't know which of those 5000 notes it's going to be. Since there are a lot of these types of operations going on together, on different but parallel data streams, the end result is a complex and unpredictable web.<br /> <br /> Perhaps you can divide artists into two categories: farmers and cowboys. The farmers settle a piece of land and cultivate it carefully, finding more and more value in it. The cowboys look for new places and are excited by the sheer fact of discovery, and the freedom of being somewhere that not many people have been before. I used to think I was temperamentally more cowboy than farmer...but the fact that the series to which this piece belongs has been running now for over four decades makes me think that there's quite a big bit of farmer in me."<br /> <br /> Take a listen to Brian Eno and Karl Hyde performing live.<br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dgdLBgsfYaE" width="560"></iframe></div>

The 15th Anniversary Compilation features a long list of some of the most credible and established names, and includes up-and-coming, groundbreaking acts such as Synkro, Rain Dog, Jehst, Robot Koch,Flako, 40 Winks, Long Arm, submerse, kidkanevil, 1000 Names, Tendts, Kafuka, Erik Luebs, My Panda Shall Fly, CYNE, Soosh, Nuage, Michal Lewicki, Jilk, Sieren, Olof Melander,KRTS, Deft, Barnaby Carter, Rumpistol, Fau, Button Eyes, Deceptikon, Pavel Dovgal,Memotone, Graciela Maria, Mujuice, Stompy’s Playground, Sina., Sweatson Klank, Senoy,Parra for Cuva, Fybe One, Monsoonsiren, Tom Day, and many more. The box was furthermore designed by English comic illustrator Dave McKean (Dark Horse Comics / DC Comics / Tundra).<br /> <br /> Since the Berlin-based label's 10th anniversary the face of one of their founding members who passed away way too early graces the logo, created by artist Dave McKean. The album is dedicated to one of the founding members of PMC, who passed away too early. The compilation logo features her face.<br /> <br /> The compilation represents a journey to the moon that began fifteen years ago and over 150 individual releases later. Many many stories and shared memories – not all of them good, not all of them bad either. While modern space age technology would make it possible to reach the moon’s surface a lot faster, for Project Mooncircle it is not only about moving forward as quickly as possible, but also to turn around, look back around themselves and to reflect on everything that has happened and is happening. "This is why we have such a broad range of artists guesting on our latest compilation. Some that have been part of the voyage from its earliest stages, others that have been with us for major milestones along the way, and even more that might move ahead with us into new and unchartered musical regions." says Malte.<br /> <br /> The limited box (only 500 copies worldwide) includes five colored vinyl LP’s with over 35 exclusive tracks plus four additional digital bonus tracks (with digital download code), a bonus double CD version exclusively designed by Lorena Assisi, a T-shirt (only size L) and an exclusive documentary about the label – all in a box specially designed by Dave McKean.<br /> <br /> The compilation will be out on the 6th January, 2017.

Having shared stages with the likes of Dragonette, Miami Horror, k-os, Lights and more and reworked beats from Kaytranada, Calvin Harris, Sam Gellaitry to name but a few, DiRTY RADiO have continued to build momentum by releasing a series of stand-alone digital singles. DiRTY RADiO’s collaborations with Young Franco and Sleepy Tom for Diplo’s Mad Decent label have earned the trio just under 5 million plays on Spotify to date. DiRTY RADiO won a Western Canadian Music Award for Urban Recording of the Year, garnered airplay on BBC Radio 1xtra and attention of tastemakers such as The FADER, Pigeons and Planes, Majestic, Earmilk, Hypetrak, BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac amongst others. “We're always in our studio”, says DiRTY RADiO member Waspy. “We're here every day, non-stop. We wouldn’t have it any other way”. Waspy explains, “We self-produce all of the music collectively, we all play on everything, we all have input into every single aspect of the recording process and writing process”. The trio’s obsessive dedication to songwriting explains the leaps and bounds they have made in recent years. DiRTY RADiO began as a glorified solo vehicle for singer-keyboardist-percussionist Shadi, who released the album Debut in 2010. As the project evolved, it quickly took the shape of a three-piece live band, including Waspy (drums/keyboards/production) and Tonez (keyboards/mixing). Shadi is a prolific top liner and multi-instrumentalist who grew up studying jazz and has a background in soul and R&B. Waspy grew up playing drums in punk and metal bands before becoming obsessed with hip hop and electronic music. Tonez is a classically trained pianist and technically savvy production whiz. Together, the three members split songwriting duties democratically, resulting in a glittering, futuristic R&B sound that mixes soulful hooks with widescreen synth swells and thudding dance beats. DiRTY RADiO explore progressive soul, electronic dance music and pop while retaining a style that is entirely unique. “It’s as organic as you can possibly get,” reflects Waspy. “We’re making music out of our own studio, by ourselves, and we’re performing it ourselves. We just want to write incredible songs and try to change the sound of music.”</span></span></div> <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/290258384&color=000000&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe></div>
