Interview GTRONIC

With an Australian tour coming up and his tracks being played everywhere GTRONIC is one of Belgium’s newest producers to finally break through. Check the interview and see how he feels about all this:

INTERVIEW GTRONIC

What got you into producing music? And why the trash, rave genre?

When I was tired being ‘just another dj’, I wanted to use my music knowledge in a creative way. So I started experimenting with Reason, Cubase, Fruityloops etc. I just love to hang out in my music studio, searching for crazy distortion sounds. I try to find my own sound, and spend a lot of time in fine tuning. Trash, rave, wobbly, pumping, heavy basses,… I just love it.
Put me in a minimal room, and I’ll drop dead hehe

We know you did a remix for Beatbouncers’ newest EP (which is nice btw) but what have you planned for the future?
Well, I’m trying to make new remixes as much as possible.
I just finished 2 remixes:
- Soda n Suds – We do it again (GTRONIC duck&slide rmx)
- Robot Disaster – Boy (GTRONIC chilin’ in the studio rmx)
Further remixes planned:
- NT89 & Distrakt – Pumping
- Autodidakt – 15 seconds
- Devnik – Concrete
- ….
With these remixes I can experiment in other synth sounds and track structures.
Working with new samples and trying to create a solid EP for other artists,
that’s why I love to do this.
And it’s also a good way to promote your name…

Your track Iron Man is going all over the world right now thanks to the bloody beetroots. How did you react when they played your track? Or did you already got a reaction from them before they dropped it at 7Years CC?
It all happened on the day after 7Years CC!!
Fuck, I almost had a tear of happiness.
I saw the video on facebook. 2 hours later I received an email of Bob Rifo with his compliments. Damn, I still can’t believe it hehe.

In some of your tracks you have that typical gtronic sound like in your remix of foamo and Iron Man. When and how did you create it?
Mmm, difficult question.
When: During the 2 years I’m producing.
How: Can’t tell you this, sry hehe.
It was worth asking ^^
I see you have an Australian Tour coming up. Can you give us some more information about it?
Well, I don’t have further details on the tour. The organisation is still waiting for gig confirmations. Tour date: 16th oct to 26th oct. I’ll be playing on 4/5 events.

How are you preparing for such a trip? What are you bringing along?
Everything will be organised by Trashbags Touring Agency.
I just need to prepare a good DJ set. That’s why I made this track ‘Destroyer’.
I had to create a ‘wicked’ own intro hehe

Are there any other countries you would really like to spin at? Why?
Uhm, I want to see the whoooole fucking world! These life experiences are awesome.
That’s why I love to produce so much. I chill out in my music studio, creating some beats, and then go around the world to play them.
I want to do this for the rest of my life!

Which artist should we interview next? Why does he deserve it?

Mmmmm, I know a lot of good guys who deserves to be interviewed.
I would say: Look into my top friends on myspace.
These guys I support the most…

Crazy track with pounding hoover synths. My favorite part is at 0:52!

Big Fat Kickdrum


Electroclash pioneer Felix Da Housecat is back with a new album called “He Was King”. It will hit the record stores on August 25. This is what he had to say about the album:

Whereas Kittenz and Thee Glitz was straight up electro, He Was King is straight Felix da Housecat pop with a nice electronic feel.

I’ve only listened to We All Wanna Be Prince (released as a single) for like 5 seconds… Me no likey.
Kickdrum however has the biggest, heaviest bass you could possibly want. The song is kinda minimalistic but that’s ok with me.
LA Ravers is a ravin’ electro banger. Check out those tunes and buy the album when it gets released!

01. We All Wanna Be Prince (3:33)
02. Plastik Fantastik (3:29)
03. Kickdrum (3:49)
04. Do We Move Your World (4:35)
05. We (4:20)
06. Spank U Very Much (2:32)
07. Do Not Try This at Home (4:08)
08. Turn Me on a Summer Smile (3:39)
09. Elvi$ (6:06)
10. LA Ravers (3:47)
11. Machine (3:31)
12. He Was King (3:23)

Here’s a remix I found on the Panormx blog:

Felix Da Housecat – Kickdrum (TEDD Remix) / TEDD

I guess the remix makes Kickdrum more ‘electro’, but I think I prefer the original mix.

These guys are back with another great track. Pure trashy electro as we are used from them. In the future they will be playing in France, the UK and maybe even Germany. I’m glad these guys finally got a chance to spread the word and ofcourse their tracks.
