DJ Hazmat Explodes

Let me be frank: I usually despise mash-ups. I normally would rather listen to the actual songs. With DJ Hazmat, however, this is not the case. Out of Burlington, VT, Matt Weston is an up-and-coming DJ that is killing it with creative mmixes that capture the energy and tremendousness of everyone’s favorite songs in the best possible way. Energetic combinations, like Jay-Z and Flux Pavilion/ Eminem and Gramatik, are combined in a keenly simplistic manner. He can get a party going anywhere and makes the kind of mashups you can easily recognize and sing a long to. He has been very productive lately, putting out a lot of of songs on his soundcloud. Also available there are higher quality versions of the songs for anyone who wants to really blast them. Make sure to see what he has to say on twitter - he’s a funny guy as well as a great DJ!
 
I also I caught up with Mr. Weston last week to see what he had to say about being a DJ:

Dastardly: How’d you start djing? What was the beginning like for you?

DJ Hazmat: It’s kind of funny, I didn’t even listen to electronic music before college, or mainstream hip hop, or anything I play now, I was a dispatch bro, bro. But DJing was always something I was interested in but never really had the facilities to try. I got my first piece of equipment, a numark mixdeck in like november of my freshman year and taught myself on the free trial of virtual dj until actually manning up…and stealing it from the internet. I did my first legit gig in January at a fraternity party where my laptop was promptly murdered halfway through by a beer. Even with that, it was still incredible to control a party like I did, so I started taking it more seriously, upgraded my equipment and music library and have been trying to take it as far as I can since. its crazy to look back and see myself doing a party with just a laptop and a dance library of like 100 songs, probably 40 of which were deadmau5, I was nervous as f*ck too, can’t even remember how many requests I had to shoot down, but minus the whole laptop dying, it was amazing and I knew I wanted to do this for a while.

Dastardly: Why mashups? They are often really tricky to make well and it takes a creative guy to see which songs would fit well together. How’d you get into it?

DJ Hazmat:  I chose mashups to kind of bridge the gap between house and mainstream music. You can only listen to instrumental electronic music for so long before your head pops, but if it has a well known song or songs in it, it definitely gets and keeps peoples attention for a longer time. That’s ultimately what I’m trying to do at any performance, make sure the audience is interested so regardless if I’m playing my stuff or someone else’s, it’s always nice to expand the target audience to people who were like me and didn’t really listen to electronic music, and mashups do a great job of that. But also, I mean what drunk girl doesn’t want to hear LMFAO dubbed over…well over anything really? Yeah they can be tricky, but it’s also that much more rewarding when I put a song up and get someone telling me something like “they sound so good together, I would have never thought of that!” or something along those lines. It’s kind of cool to try and merge two or more things that originally were never thought to be similar and see the product work out. (i.e. midnight rizzo, can’t imagine HOV was thinking about flux pavillion when he wrote izzo.


Dastardly: What are your top 3 most played songs on your iTunes?

DJ Hazmat: Hmm currently, 1. Sweet Disposition (Axwell and Dirty South Remix) 2. Levels (Skrillex Remix) 3. Kick Out the Epic Motherfucker by Dada Life. but with all the new music I try to find, that list changes all the time.

Dastardly: What are we gonna see out of DJ Hazmat in the future?

DJ Hazmat: Alot! lots of talk about gigs in several locations, both east and west coast. I’m getting into actual electronic production so in addition to mashups there will some DJ Hazmat originals coming out in the near future. Things are looking good, but I’m not one to try and Jinx em’ so we’ll see. Hopefully everything works out because this is something i could see myself doing for a long long time.

Exclusive Interview: VibeSquaD – Orphan Alien Pt. 1

September 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Warning: This is nuts.

The Denver/Boulder/Ft. Collins triangle of Colorado is home to some of the most colossal and breathtaking mountains in the land. It is also home to one of the most interesting guys I have heard in a long time: Aaron Holstein of VibeSquaD. Holstein’s music isn’t what you typically expect from electronic music. While bringing in the throbbing bass from dubstep, he tosses in some ticking, some whirring, and some meandering synths over a layer of organic percussion to end up with…well, whatever it is he ends up with. With the momentum perpetually shifting in his songs, there is no drop or sequence that defines his tunes — instead, each song has a theme that it returns to again and again with fresh takes on familiar melodies.

Orphan Alien Part 1 is no different – seven songs deep, all of them absolutely nuts. So good, in fact, that I decided to take a few minutes to catch up with Holstein. It took a few tries to get a hold of him, because he was was busy working on his music in his home studio. No wonder his music sounds so good. Don’t forget to grab a free download of his track “Shine” after the jump!

 

Dastardly: So I’m loving the name VibeSquaD. Where did it come from?

Holstein: I’ve been in bands for 20 years or so, just always playing music. Originally I was playing in a band called Squadzilla, which ended up becoming Zilla after a while. I was left with the ‘Squad’ part when I was back from touring and when I was making music by myself, so I ended up using it in this project.
 
Dastardly: That’s a much better story than I expected. If you’ve been in bands for so long, do you have like an electronic music hero that you look to or that influenced you a lot?

Holstein: There’s lot’s that I appreciate about music and musicians. Early on, I really liked Tipper and Bill Bless, but that was 10 years ago. There’s lot’s of music in my iPod and I love all of it, so I’d say not really one guy but a lot of people and things that they’ve done that I appreciate.
 
Dastardly: That’s sweet. You’ve been influenced for a lot of years. How has that influenced your current direction? What is your current musical direction?

Holstein: I just did it as a little kid – I was frustrated finding kids to work with and depend on to further my goals. Just like guys were so unreliable and we had different ideas so I wanted music by myself. It was just more satisfying than with other people. I better got my point across and was in total control. Like I had writer’s block, for the first time in a long time, this winter and this spring I exploded. I did that because of myself. Because of that, the future is untold – I’m always evolving and changing.
 
Dastardly: That segue’s in perfectly. What have you been up to recently, if not just working on Orphan Alien?

Holstein: Lot’s of travel. I have lot’s of like shows on weekends and stuff and I play a lot of shows on the road. I make music 9-5 every day and spend the rest of the time with my family. You know, hanging out with the kids and stuff. Whenever I’m not traveling I spend time with them as much as possible.
 
Dastardly: As a college kid, that’s what it’s all about. Trust me. But, concerning the EP, I’m not really sure even what Genre to classify it as. I’m not big on pigeonholing songs into ultra-specific genre’s but your sound is just unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. Tell me about it on like a cerebral level.

Holstein: It’s all about stretching out of my comfort zone. In terms of Genre’s, I feel like they’ve become anti-genre almost. Like most music fans have an eclectic taste and have lots of different songs on their iPod. I don’t want to stay in a boring genre or define myself in one way. I did vocals a lot in this album, all me by the way, and I even messed around with a drum and bass song with some vocals and that slow, chunky sound. I want everyone to feel the breadth and width and how deep they are with melodies. I also played around a lot with synths to get the whispiness of them. This one was really and evolution of where I’m at. I’m planning on releasing Pt II on 11/11/11 – which brings like the unity of the sound.
 
Dastardly: 11/11/11?! That’s so sweet. That’s a really cool date.

Holstein: Well actually I released an album on 10/10/10 last year and one on 9/9/09 the year before that. It’s a cool thing for me, working with an imposed deadline. I just know I’ll get it done by then. Plus it’s a cool sequence of dates.
 
Dastardly: That’s really sweet and I never noticed that before. Now, totally unrelated, I’ve never seen you live, but I have looked it up on the internet and done a little research and your shows are out of control. What gives them so much energy and power?

Holstein: I have a whole bunch of love and respect for playing in front of people and for the music. Being the guy who plays it at shows is really awesome. Playing with that perfect level of bass is a true honor for me. It gives me the chills to see people dancing and having fun and knowing that I’m the one doing that for them. I get off on it as much as they do. I love it.
 
Dastardly: When you’re not playing in shows, what do you do in your free time?

Holstein: I’m into photography, I snowboard in the winter, and I travel a lot – but I like to make it an adventure. I just have lots of opportunities when I tour, because I’m pretty much alone when I’m on tour. Just like finding a cool place to sit down and read. When I’m home I’m totally beat – I don’t really go out or have much of a nightlife when I’m at home. I chill out with my family because I’m all over my place for my job, so I get some good time with them too.
 
Dastardly: What is the highlight of your musical career? Is there a moment or a show that just tops them all?

Holstein: As I get older there are more and more special moments that shed light on it. I’ve been fortunate with lucky gigs where I played longer or got to play in front of a lot of people or something. Physically it’s hard to say – I don’t want to let down the small show, where the big show might not have been the best show. I love small shows with a lot of energy and awesome crowds, but the big ones are great too. I learn each time. So there’s not just one moment. I played at sunrise at Wakarusa  and it was so cool. Literally thousands of people smiling in the sun. It’s all about making people happy though.
 
Dastardly: What’s your top played song on iTunes?

Holstein: I always get obsessed with a band or an album and listen to it for like three weeks then move on. Like one time I only listened to Frank Zappa, all of his albums, until it drove people crazy. I love a lot of stuff though, and have a lot of it on constant rotation. I love a good album.
 
Dastardly: So are you an album guy and not really for the ‘hit single’?

Holstein: Well I’m all for music ADD and going all over the place and listening to whatever you want, but it’s just cool when it’s a whole production. Like one song is good, but a whole album of them with 10 on it is even better.
 
Dastardly: Last Question: What’s your touring schedule like? I’m out east up here in Burlington, VT, so are you ever going to make it out here? I’d love to see you live.

Holstein: I’ve been dying to get out east! I went to Hampshire College about 20 years ago and so I was up in Burlington a lot to see Phish. All my formative music was out east and so I’d love play there. I just signed with new management so they’ll be able to get me shows out there, because I don’t have much of a fan base out east. Expect to see me out there maybe in the winter or early spring.

The Number 23

September 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

MJ - Da Best

So the other day, I was making some Ramen. Then I realized that 23 is awesome. The Number 23 has attached itself to some of the very greatest people that have ever walked this earth: MJ, Jim Carrey, and now a mighty man – a dubstepper named 23. After having his Chromeo Remix on repeat for the past 3 weeks (literally), I decided to get in touch with the guy for a quick, rapidfire Q&A sesh and some Madlib shananagans. Please support 23 on Beatport – his debut EP is up there as well as his Arkasia remix – pay him money for the service he is doing your ears (which you should). Make sure to check out his soundcloud, where he sporadically releases some really sick sounds.

Rapidfire Q&A Sesh

Dastardly: What’s the best part about being an electronic music maker?

23: Getting to play my music out and see people reacting and dancing to it.

Dastardly: Why do you do it? What keeps you going?

23: Music is just something I keep coming back to. It’s rewarding to make and often challenging or even puzzling. I’ve been a long time puzzle solver.

Dastardly: What can we expect out of 23 in the future?

23: Exploration, experimentation.  Live instrumentation. Misinterpretation.

Dastardly: What are your top couple songs on iTunes? What are you listening to lately?

23: Been listening to a lot of Porcupine Tree lately.  Also been on a kick for Streetlight Manifesto and NOFX.   This stuff changes weekly though.

And the 23 madlib…

(23) was (calculating) one fine saturday evening until he stopped to get some (infinity) at the local (Frank Zappa’s bathroom). As (23) went inside, they noticed that the (goat) was looking kind of (smarmy). Confused, he looked (toothlessly) around until he saw a sign that read “No (5 tons of flax), No Service”. Feeling (embarrassment) he left the (Frank Zappa’s bathroom) and (f***ed) off into the night.

BWOMP! Mix Series 009: Mochipet – Space Bass Ship
 

BONUS: Mochipet – Who Da Boss?
 

What are the main musical influences in your upbringing?

Well, I grew up listening to Metal. A lot of Thrash Metal. Like Testament, Exodus and that sort of stuff. Then I moved toward more Jazz. I was listening to a lot of experimental Jazz like John Zorn. I was listening to stuff like Mr. Bungle. Frank Zappa. I guess from there I moved to the more IDM stuff like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher and that’s what brought me to here.

So when you first started producing, did you start by making breakcore?

Well I guess so, but I didn’t know I was making Breakcore at the time. I was just making music and some people in Europe got a hold of it.

Through the Internet?

Yeah, I put a lot of my stuff on my website for free and a bunch of people in Europe got a hold of it and they’re like ‘Oh. You make Breakcore.’ And I’m like ‘What’s Breakcore? What are you talking about?’ So they sent me all this stuff which was kinda along the same lines of what I was making, but a little more aggressive and harder. The stuff I was making was a little bit more experimental and intricate with moments of ‘hard’. But Breakcore is mostly a lot of hard stuff and that’s how I got into really making Breakcore. After that is when I made the ‘Girls Love Breakcore’ and maily ‘cause I thought it was funny. I did some tours in Europe and it was kinda weird learning about this Breakcore scene. So after that when I made the record, I got labeled Breakcore.

Then can you walk us through your journey of production style – where you started to where you are now?

Yeah, it’s definitely changed a lot. You know, I never made dance music that was even danceable until maybe like three years ago. When I started out it was definitely a lot more experimental and more like musician’s music I guess. Now my stuff is a lot more accessible, a lot more dancey, a lot more club oriented than it used to be.

So what made you start Daly City Records?

It started when a lot of my friends were making music and there was really nowhere to put out. That was back when everybody and their grandma was starting a record label so I was like ‘I’ll just start a record label,’ but I didn’t realize how much work it actually was. It’s just like ‘FUCK!’

Would you say that being in your sector of the music business is tough?

Any sector of the music business is tough. There are so many people doing it. I’m surprised that anybody cares about what I’m doing most of the time. I was actually just reading Forbes magazine on the plane and they had Jay Z and Warren Buffett in there. They were talking about the Forbes 400… the top 400 richest people in the world or whatever. Jay Z is one of them but he’s very low on the totem pole. I think they picked him because he’s such a contrast to Warren Buffett. Anyway, they interview Jay Z and he was talking about the music industry and how different it is. It’s a weird industry. Very strange and very tough.

When we’re watching Mochipet on stage, you’ve got your laptop and your midi controller. What exactly is going on back there?

Well I have clips and songs loaded into Ableton Live. I have a lot of effects linked up like the plug-in Effectix. I use that a lot. Plug-ins like Artillery. I have a lot of preprogrammed effects tha I assign to buttons and manipulate on the fly. I usually line up all my clips and trigger them off with different combinations of effects on it.

The costume is obviously a signature trademark of Mochipet… has it seen its share tragedy and horror?

Definitely! Not the costume I have now, but the original one went through maybe three or four European tours and some US gigs. It’s mangled and thrashed.

Do you still have it?

I still got it, yeah. I’m keeping it for keepsake and stuff. It’s all felt and originally I got it from my friend because the first thing we released on our label was called ‘Baby Godzilla’. It had EDiT and Daedelus on there and my friend had this costume in a closet that someone gave to her. She’s like ‘You should wear this, it’d be funny.’ I’m like, ‘Cool! I’ll wear it.’ So I wore it and everyone liked it so much I just kept wearing it. But yeah. It’s extremely hot and it’s not functional at all. It’s been through Belgium. It’s been through warehouse raves which are immensely disgusting… You know, very dirty joints with an inch or two of beer on the floor. Yeah, that thing was disgusting by the time I brought it back from Europe.
At one point, I think I was playing in Seattle and it was kind of last minute. They flew me up the day-of because someone canceled their appearance. So they called me up like ‘Can you come up?’ and I’m like ‘Yeah sure.’ So I didn’t even bring a jacket. I don’t know why, I guess I was just spacing. So here I am in Seattle in the winter time, freezing my ass off so I just ended up wearing the suit the whole time I was there. It was a strange night. The promoter’s girlfriend actually ended up crawling into my suit with me. At one point when I was sleeping in the costume… it was really weird.

What’s your taking on emerging scenes like the bass movement on the West Coast and which new artists have your attention at the moment?

You know what? I was just thinking about this question ‘cause everybody always asks me things like ‘What are you listening to?’ I was just listening to something too that I thought was really cool and I can’t remember for the life of me what it was. I listen to so much stuff…
Scenes are cool I guess, it kinda unites a force. But it’s weird because electronic music is so European, so having a west coast scene that rivals that is awesome. I don’t know that I necessarily want UK scene to have such an influence on the world. It seems like it’s always been that way. Drum and Bass, Dubstep… it’s always been that way. I wish it was more of a cohesive movement on the West Coast as a whole. Right now it’s a little bit scattered.

What about Glitch Hop? From Denver over it seems to be gathering a lot of steam.

Yeah, a lot of the Glitch Hop guys are combining Dubstep which is cool… But other than Glitch Mob I don’t know of any BIG, BIG Glitch Hop artists. But I hope it really happens for that scene. In San Francisco people are definitely getting tire of the same ole Dubstep. Some people are playing Drumstep and a lot of people are going back to hip hop with the bassy. I really hope some sort of sound develops from it all.

So you have an EP coming up… and album coming up too. Can you tell us what we can expect? Also, who might be featured with you?

Yeah the EP is kinda like glitch/dancehall thing that I did with MC Zulu a little while ago. It’s pretty much done it just needs to be mixed. It will probably come out early 2012. In January I’ll probably drop my record. It’s called ‘Rawr! Means I Love You.’ You know keeping with the whole dinosaur theme. For the album, it’s mostly bassy music, but it’s also a lot of more melodic stuff that I’ve been working on. I’m quite excited about it.

You’re switching it up a little bit?

Yeah. It’s definitely switch up a little bit. I actually finished it a while ago and I wasn’t that stoked about it. So I wanted to add more variety to it because I didn’t want it to be a one dimensional type record. I wanted it cohesive, but I didn’t want it to be just one type of sound. So I’ve kind of been revamping it and I’m just hoping people will like it.

Have you gotten any feedback from any of the new tunes?

I’ve been playing some of the tracks out that are already mixed. People seem to really like the first single a lot. It’s called ‘Whomp-a-saurus Sex’ and it’s almost like Metal. It’s like heavy, heavy dubstep type of thing.

Is there anyone that you have collaborations in the works with, or is there anyone in particular that you you’d like to work with in the future?

You know, I’d really like to collab with somebody ‘different.’ Someone like Neil Diamond or somebody off kilter like that.

Barry Manilow?

No not Barry Manilow so much, he’s a little too soft. Maybe if Frank Sinatra was alive… that would be rad. But Barry Manilow… he’s from San Francisco or something right?

I have no idea. He might be.

I have a bunch of bunch of people doing remixes on my tunes. I’ve been trying to work on some stuff with Z Trip. We just started. At first I was like ‘yeah it’d be cool if you just scratched over some stuff.’ But he’s like ‘I wanna do some production and really make some music.’ So I’m down for that because even in just the terms of collecting records he has TONS of that we could sample and bring to life. We could make it into something completely different instead of using the same Acid patch over and over.

What else is in the works for Daly City?

Tons of stuff. We have a ton of releases coming out. We got Freddy Todd with Black Mic. Kinda Rusty like but more on the Freddy Todd Tip. We have Elfkowitz with Mimi Page. Kinda Melodic Arpegiated Synths.  We have DVS with Ben Samples. And a lot of stuff we’re singing. We like to get the new new kids. Once they get some steam we let em go into the wild. Were like a incubator. Like Xerox back in the Apple days. We like a lil off kilter but still bassy and fun.

I am also starting a new label with Grassroots California Hats Company. We are gonna do one release a month with an Album and a Cap. Gonna launch early next year with my record and then move on to release some of our friends. That’s the way we wanna keep it, family oriented working with our friends.

If anyone wants to send demos just email a link to info@dalycityrecords.com. We do our best to listen.

Exclusive Interview: Stephan Jacobs

November 3, 2010 By 2 Comments


A couple of months back we gave you a taste of Stephan Jacobs. Today we have a few more along with a little glimpse into his life. Stephan has been hard at work cranking out more tunes for the world’s consumption so take a moment and check out the mini-interview and enjoy the massive remixes Stephan has generously bestowed upon us all!


How long have you been making music?


Well, The first time i ever worked on music was about 6 years ago when a friend of mine “Satchi Om” showed me the possibilities. but it was just a tease. Then i brewed on it for about a year got the software and started to learn to make my own tracks and really started hitting it hard about 5 years ago.


You seem to be staying pretty busy these days, any upcoming releases people should keep their eyes peeled for?


Well, on Nov 26th a collaboration i did with +Verb – “Blind Dreams” comes out on Gruntworthy, in December me and Sugarpill made a track “Level Attack feat. Naada” and its coming out on Muti with a handful of killer remixes.

In the Spring i plan on releasing my EP named “Synthesis” and it stands strong to that name.


Also been working on a few remixes that i will post up for free Download soon as well.


What has been your most memorable performance?


Coachella on the DoLab stage.


For production do you have any favorite synths?


I like Gladiator, The Ableton operator (Thanks to Love and Light showing me some tricks on it), Massive and I also like using outboard gear as well. Such as the Korg Electribe and MicroKorg.


What gives you inspiration in your music?


Other music gives me inspiration, friends, love, whats going on in my life. I feel that all of those things combine to make music what it is for any producer.


Coffee or tea?


Coffee in the morning, then hit the music hard and its a productive day.


Long nights or early morning sessions?


Anytime is a good time, but the morning with coffee is the best for me.



Now you know a bit about the man behind the music! Let the bass-filled treats be with you!


We Are The People (Stephan Jacobs Remix) No Turning Back (Stephan Jacobs Remix) Devils Water (Stephan Jacobs Remix) Richard Sweat – Spitfire feat. Myndz iii (Stephan Jacobs Remix)
