Interview
Its that Friday again! @squanchsounds has got some nutty bass tunes for you tonite on the other side! step on thru and get down with Peace Portal!
What inspired this mix and what mood or vibe were you trying to achieve?
I very rarely try to define a mood for a mix, I feel it limits my creativity, personally. I usually end up just focusing on the build and flow of the mix, trying to take the listener on a journey. This mix is fairly representative of what my live sets have been sounding like lately.
Where did you record the mix, and what equipment did you use?
I recorded this mix in my room, using my Pioneer DDJ-SB2 and my ASUS laptop.
What are you up to next?
Right now my focus is on building a bass music community within Bellingham. This began with Bass Culture, a monthly event at Kombucha Town that I have been organizing for 5 months. Bass Culture was part of the inspiration to form the Metanoia Collective, which I have been working with to throw outdoor bass music events with a focus on promoting local artists and community building. These events get better as more people in the community get involved and add their unique contributions, and I can't wait to watch them evolve.
