Underworld is a huge inspiration for me. I think that will be a little more apparent in songs to come. But something about their music that has inspired everything I’ve produced so far is the diversity in sounds and styles across all their tracks. Technically you might call them Techno, but they’ve made House and Drum and Bass as well. In fact, their new song “Scribble” is a collaboration with High Contrast (another inspiration for me). My favorite Underworld track is “Two Months Off,” but “Scribble” comes really close.

Inspirations: Underworld
Friday, June 11th, 2010Inspirations: Nicolay
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009I’ve loved Nicolay’s music for a long time now. And if you know me, you know that the first City Lights record was a huge inspiration. Well, City Lights Volume 2 just came out, and it’s amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything like it. Check the description here.
Simon Harrison’s Basic Soul Show
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009I love Jazz, Soul, Nu Jazz, Future Soul, Broken Beat… There’s such a diversity of styles among all those genres, and yet there are common threads too. Simon Harrison manages to tie them all together in his Basic Soul Show, which you can listen to here: Simon Harrison’s Basic Soul.
The show is a huge inspiration to me. In fact I interviewed Simon back in January, and you can read that here.
Hope you enjoy Basic Soul as much as I do. Let me know what you think…
