Here is part 2 of the previous post.
As part of the DC Breaks, Frankee tour we were also lucky enough to have a little chat with the other RAM records genius on the tour, Frankee.
If you read the post below you can see all the right places to see him in Australia!
Thanks for the chat mate!
----------------------------------------------
1. Your style is very diverse in a way that you don't really stick to one sound of Drum and Bass. You've written dark techy stuff but also smoother vocally stuff with rolling baselines. How do you approach each track from a production point of view?
Each track is a different track and in the same respect the process that I go through differs. It really depends on my mood that day/night. There are so many factors that will decide my inspiration for the session.
2. How did you get involved with RAM records?
About 4 years ago I was at a fabric Ram night and I was loaded with 3 demo c.d.s to try and give out. I managed to get them to Andy, Scott and Ray Which luckily enough got some attention. I have however been a massive ram fanboy since i can remember so Ram have been involved in my life for a very long time.
3. Are you excited to hit the shores of Aus/NZ? What are you looking forward to?
Excited is an understatement! I am well and truly buzzing! I’ve already done 2 shows (Wellington and Christchurch) and they have been unreal! If the following shows are anything like the previous then i am a happy man.
4. You've had a pretty awesome run of festival gigs recently, which gigs have been the highlights?
Honestly, Wellington and Christchurch have been a big highlight. Such a responsive bunch and they know there tunes!
5. We're pretty excited to hear you and DC Breaks under one roof, what can we expect from the show?
I can speak for D.C Breaks and myself and say we are excited to be out here. Expect Complete mayhem, loud and proud dnb and generally a heavy party.
6. Which one of your productions was the most fun to write and why?
Im having loads of fun writing my new material. I had a bit of writers block recently and I’m at the other side of it now so I’m really enjoying getting really musical at the moment. If i had to pick one already released track it would be gully simply because it only took me a matter of days to make. Those tracks are quite often the best.
7. Tell us about your production set up, what software and plug-ins are you using?
I use logic 9, Some Mackie 824’s and some plugins including Fab filter, T-racks, waves and various other stuff. I would really like to try some of the analogue emulation plugins like Slate and Uad. Guys if you’re reading…. :-)
8. Standard Frankee live show set up...
3-4 decks, a mixer, some loud and clear Monitors, cool lighting, some beer and depending on what mood I’m in some cheeky shots of vodka.
9. What do you love most about Drum and Bass?
Everything, Im truly and deeply in love with it.
10. And finally... What's next for Frankee?
Lots more exciting gigs, A remix which will be coming out in April and an imminent release on Ram which we are currently finalising.
