SINISTARR PODCAST ON DNBTV & TAKE 5

Yes, Sinistarr coming through with a proper fresh mix for the DNBTV.com podcast. Jeremy was nice enough to man handle a "Take 5" session for us and here it is.

1. What's good in Sinistarr's hood as of late?

Well a lot of good things in store... My 12" on Influence Records (Nixed/Leeroy Jenkins) just released last week, and I just wrapped up my digital EP with Sonorous Music. I also have more wax dropping in December -- with the LONG awaited tune "Lynx is Playing At My House" and "Park Avenue/My Thoughts Exactly", both forthcoming on Horizons Music. I have been working hard in the studio, with many different tunes, and collabs with big names like Eveson, Mixmaster Doc, and Redeyes, and up and coming names, such as JJ, Dave Owen, and Syntex. I've been working equally as hard behind the scenes with Peer Pressure Recordings, getting ready for the new year ahead of us -- expect a lot of big things in store.

2. Techno or electro?

BOTH. When you are from Detroit, it's not the same electro that is popular in the West or in other places. If anyone is interested, listen to names like Aux 88, Underground Resistance, Interdimensional Transmissions, and DJ Stingray - That's REAL, worldwide electro. :) As for Techno - i live and breathe it. 'Nuff Said.

3. What influences your production?

See above...Other than that, a lot of words and interactions with people and places, and a lot of other music from the 90s. I listened to the radio as a kid - and a LOT of it.

4. Is Drum and Bass dead?

Not at all... I feel drum & bass is at a very transitional stage. There's a lot of exciting producers and DJs at the forefront, along with the labels tthat give them an outlet to publish their works. I'm excited to be a part of that movement, and will continue to push new music constantly.
