- MIX UP -

This week's mix up goes exclusively to Liquid Stranger. 

We had a chat with him way back in 2011 which you can read HERE. Lets see if we can get a sneaky little chat with him again ;)

Enjoy the Mix

- SUBMISSIONS -

Last week Liquid Stranger sent in his new track to be posted, what a monster of a track, AND... It's FREE! 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

We also received a track from Circus Records by a producer called Dr. Meaker. It's an awesome vocally rolling Drum and Bass track.

Enjoy

- MIX UP TIME -

 

Here's two mixes that are on repeat on my iphone that I think you need to hear.

First up is the new Liquid Stranger mix - Infusion Mix Vol. 4

Secondly, the 2015 Homegrown Freqs mix by Blog Wars. This contest happens every year. If you live in Australia and want to enter your mix, follow this link!

- INFUSION MIX - SHAMBHALA EDITION -

The Liquid Stranger has a new mix out. This time it's his set at our all time favorite music festival, Shambhala. 

Go grab it!

- THE GARGON -

He is constantly changing his style with an open mind... 
If you were to look up Liquid Stranger two years ago, you would find hard hitting Dubstep floor fillers.  Judging by his latest mix, he's shown us that he can easily change it up with style.

He has just released the official video of his new song "The Gargon." This video has been created by a Melbourne, Aus based animator named Andy Thomas. In my opinion this is one of the most amazing and creative music video's of the year.

Check it out below and make sure you cop Liquid Stranger's new EP "The Renegade Crusade EP" coming out the 15th of April.  

- INFUSION MIX by LIQUID STRANGER -

Liquid Stranger is back!

He's nice enough to hook us up with his Infusion Mix Vol. 1.

I listen to a LOT of mixes all year around and there are only a few that really stand out to me. Every mix by this guy is of the freshest material and the clearest sound.

Now play it through a decent set on headphones or speakers, this mix is not to be wasted playing though shitty iphone ear-buds or laptop speakers!

Enjoy guys!

- THE LIQUID STRANGER -

LIQUID STRANGER

In my opinion he is the most talented producer in the Rottun Records/Interchill crew. Producing everything from the heaviest Dubstep to the most melodic Dub/Reggae to hit Beatport. This week I'm really excited to have a chat with Liquid Stranger!

1. How long have you been producing and DJing for?
I've been making tunes most of my life. Got my first synthesizer when I was 8 years old.

Making tunes is the perfect therapy for me, it keeps me sane. When I was younger I was into fighting, partying, and extreme sports. Music was the thing that made me stay out of (too much) trouble.

2. How did you come up with you name?

My original idea was to have several different people playing as the Liquid Stranger. That way I could remain anonymous. I'm not a very social person, and I don't like too much attention. Anyways, my plan had a major flaw since there was no way for me to make sure that the people I sent out were suitable to represent the name. Besides, after a while my name got written on record sleeves and the rest is history.

it's hard work to stay hidden in this information age :)


3. So your originally from Sweden... How would you compare the dubstep scene there with the scene of where you are now?

I know very little about the scene in Sweden. I've been living in the US for almost 6 years, and when I left there was only very few people who were into Dubstep. I made my first 'Dubstep-sounding' tunes in 2000-2002, but no one wanted to release them at the time :) I started making Dubstep again when I moved to the US.

4. Your Dubstep has been topping the charts for a while, and then you released an amazing Dub/Reggae album... Where do you find the inspiration to write such a diverse range of music?

The Dubstep/Drumstep stuff works great on a big sound system, but I enjoy a wide variety of music and I don't want to limit my output to one genre. I need to make different kinds of music or else I get bored. Right now I'm working on a new Rottun EP which is hard as hell...and simultaneously I'm making songs for the new album on Interchill which is more like deep space electronica.

5. At Dubstep Democracy we are huge fans of Rottun Recording's, tell us how you got involved with Excision and Rottun...

When Excision started Rottun he asked me to send tunes, and so I did. He is a great guy to work with. Very straight forward and honest.

6. What Programs and Plug-ins are you using?

I use Cubase and various software but most of my sounds come from vintage analog synthesizers. I'm a total gear slut! My favorite pieces of gear for Dubstep is the Cwejman S1 MKII, Korg MS-10, and the TR-909. I really like the Mooger Foogers as well.

7. What's the most memorable live show you've played?
I have no idea, I've played a lot of really good shows...and as Dubstep is getting bigger, the production is getting better.


8. What artist/band/musician, dead or alive, would you give anything to see live?

...there is really no one that I would give anything to see. It's not that dramatic for me. Trying to think here, but nothing comes to mind...hmm, Tangerine Dream during the 70s would have been nice.

9. Top 5 tracks to play at the moment...

Well, I only play my own tunes when I perform. 95% unreleased/VIPs. I don't really listen to Dubstep at home ever, I don't hunt for the latest tunes, and I'm honestly very poorly updated with whats hot and not :)

At the moment I'm going back through the early albums from Brian Eno, The Orb, and Steve Roach. In my car I have a hard drive with a 3 week long IDM/electronica playlist on shuffle. Music is so tied to emotions as well, and the output from Warp Records, Skam, Mo Wax, and Ninja Tune would be the soundtrack to most of my significant memories.

10. And finally, whats next for Liquid Stranger?

I will continue to do a couple of shows per week. I'm also planning a substantial US tour, and have started to think about doing something for EU and OZ as well during next year. My goal is to release a new EP on Rottun before the end of 2011, record a new DJ mix within a month or two, and have my Interchill album ready for release in May next year. Got some collabs planned as well...a lot of tentative ones, but the most solidified projects are together with Downlink, Bare, Ajapai, and Messinian.
