When did you first start mixing?
Mr.Oblivious: Well I started mixing dance music about a year ago. But the production aspect of music is what snagged my interest in the EDM scene about 3 years ago.
I got a few music programs for my computer and some small midi based controllers and started working on making music.
Is that mix you sent me your own?
Mr. Oblivious: The ideas and transitions are our own but the songs chosen are others. When it comes to Original tracks the production of our own tracks are slowly getting to the point where, in the near future we will be comfortable mixing them in with others.
When you say "our" are you talking about Splicer?
Mr. Oblivious: Yah Splicer. We both produce in our own studios. Yet we also work on projects together. Being close friends has helped us both learn the ins and outs of production. We both see a lot of potential in each other and in projects to come in the future, whether its solo or a collaboration.
Mixing is always fun. Alone or together. We have just found a good niche together and hope to take it as far as we can.
What are your plans for the future? What do you aspire to?
Mr. Oblivious: We hope to mix out as much as we can. Splicer and I have been asked to play the 13th at Tipsy Bar so we are looking forward to that. For me, I know I am going to finish up this Trance Electro Dance project I have been working on for quite some time now. My goal is to design an amazing Dance show that goes hand and hand with the visual aspect of life. I feel like when you can create an audio and visual experience for the viewer its a double kill! They go so well together that it creates an experience of a life time, an experience one won’t forget:)
I say this because there are many shows and festivals that I have been to have left such a huge impact on my life. No where else will you find so many beautiful people coming together all for the same reason.
Their stories are all different but the Music is the common interests. Its what we can all relate to. It moves and inspires so many people and in so many ways.
What’s one of your best rave-memories?
If i didn't go to EDC 2010, I would have never started mixing. I was inspired to move people. To create the flow of music through me to move people.
No where else have i ever seen 200,000+ people come all for a common intrest everyone indirectly relates to one another. One person puts their hands up and everyone else follows because that emotion start to flow through one another. Creating this endless vib that is powerful:) I love it. You put your hands up with everyone and you feel powerful. Its this power running through everyone called Love.
And thats why i mix and produce a lot more now. I have found my love
How did you discover EDM?
Mr. Oblivious: Well my cousin when I was younger always had turn tables and would go out and Scratch and flip live. I found it to be sooo interesting but always was intimidated by it. Yet me being me, I asked a lot of questions. She would show me old beats and i was awesome. But it wasn't until 2002 when I heard pendulums first album all the way through. It was like Drum and bass. Blew my mind!!!
Who are your influences?
Mr. Oblivious: The prodigy had a huge influence on me. I played bass guitar growing up. I still dabble on it every once in a while. Ill also record my own bass lines for dance music. But when saw they used a band live i was inspired to start applying what i know in music and on Bass to the dance Genre.
Great! Thank you so much. Is there anything else you would like to say before I close the interview?
Mr.Oblivious: Well I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for friends and family. They have taught me so much and I’m extremely grateful. I love them always!
