1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

When I was 16 years old living the “rebel ” lifestyle, I hit up every hard-core punk show locally. My favourite band at the time “Kali” threw down the gnarlyest show, breaking down a condemned house. It was in that moment I knew music was everything. 

2. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?

 At first, this was difficult, but the biggest game changer for me was scheduling and time management! Writing lists of my goals with life and music then checking them off makes you feel accomplished. 

3. As an artist, you can experience a number of road blocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?

There’s been many blocks, emotionally and creatively in life but as of recent my fiancée led me into guided meditation, seriously helps wonders just ask LSDREAM. 

4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

Great question! Definitely keeping those who you cherish in my life feeling loved and wanted. Music is my passion and my life, but never forget those who helped get there. I’d also like to add growing a very intimate circle of like minded people.

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

I started music really young, as an orchestra kid. My grandmother set the tone in our family a long time ago, that all her kids and grandkids had to try and learn an instrument. Myself and a few cousins got pretty good, but ultimately the poignant moment was in my teens when I started becoming aware of recording technology. I worked my way up to first chair/concertmaster violinist in my youth orchestra, so dedicating time and effort to doing something at a high level has kind of always been in my blood. From being a solo artists, to a producer/engineer, or a DJ or you name it… I’ve just stayed consistent and driven to try and do my best, and luckly now I get to say that I work in music full time. (And thanks to a lot of help along the way.)

2. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?

Meditation, focusing on gratitude, exercise, and reaching out to friends with conversations that aren’t about music. I really believe in yoga, though I’m not practicing as consistently as I’d like to currently. I have a good streak going with my wim hof breathing exercises, which is SO crucial in clearing my head between studio sessions and normal life. I try to play basketball a few times a week to stay fit, and I hit people up on social media / texting basically non-stop.
3. As an artist, you can experience a number of road blocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?
You’re either winning, or learning. I’m fortunate to have had a lot of cool opportunities throughout my career, but life hasn’t been perfect… When a record bombs or a show gets cancelled, or when two months go by and I haven’t written a new song, it’s important to use moments like that as a lesson or motivation to be better down the line. I feel like I don’t get discouraged very often, though. Sure there’s moments of impostor syndrome, or inadequacy, that anyone in their right mind will experience now and again, but on the whole I just feel compelled to work on art all the time and at any cost. For better or for worse!
Ravenscoon Pays Tribute to Old-School Dubstep w/ New “Collide” EP via WAKAAN

Ravenscoon Pays Tribute to Old-School Dubstep w/ New “Collide” EP via WAKAAN

There is nothing quite like the nostalgia of old 2000s dubstep. Being able to be transported back in time to an era where dubstep was on the rise is a treat, and who better to do it than Wakaan rising star and bass wizard, Ravenscoon. Aiming to replicate this heavy dancefloor sound with some of his own flairs, Ravenscoon has stepped up to the plate with his latest EP release, Collide, a three track monster designed to bring yo back to the days of some of the most iconic dubstep tracks. Featuring up and coming dubstep artists such as Ruvlo and VLCN, this entire EP hits hard from start to finish. Our premiere that we have the pleasure of presenting to you all today, “Bussin”, is soon to be a festival hit with its heavy bass lines and driving melodic synths. Though this EP seems to be a juxtaposition to Ravenscoon’s previous EP, the classic 808 sound produced by this artist is not to be beat. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Bussin” and the rest of the Collide EP, a certified bop

“I wanted to round off 2022 by releasing three of my heaviest tunes to date – all specifically designed to smash the dancefloor. The COLLIDE EP is my way of showing my fans that I can do it all while also highlighting two of my favorite up and coming dubstep producers, VLCN & RUVLO. Each song revolves around driving melodies, energetic 808 intros, and massive sounding bass design. Continuing my tradition of releasing an EP in December, this year’s installment seems to be the heavier spiritual successor to last year’s FUN & GAMES EP where I explored the trap & “wook bass” sound.”

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

I’ve loved music my whole life – both of my parents have always been big fans of listening to music and going to live concerts, which definitely left a positive impression on me. My mom played the flute for many years and my grandmother plays piano – so there’s generations of music lovers.

I realized I hated my corporate job and music is what makes me happier than almost anything – it was a moment of clarity when I realized it was always music that was my passion

2. You definitely have a very unique name for your project. Does the name have a specific meaning or derived from something in your life? Is there a story fans might not know about how you came to this name for your project?

My last name is Conversano – italian heritage. My family immigrated to the united states at the turn of the 20th century.

I am a big fan of Donald Glover (childish gambino) who got his name from an online WuTang Clan name generator. I decided to put my name in an anagram maker and chose the first one that stood out to me.

It echos themes of things being familiar but also new – and not being always as they seem.

3. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?

I have a problem with overworking – but this isn’t specific to music. I had a hard time separating my old job from leisure time, sometimes working late into the night and on weekends.

I remind myself to take breaks and set boundaries and schedules for myself. My partner is also helpful in keeping me grounded.

4. As an artist, you can experience a number of road blocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?

My passion and love for music. When something is your true passion, the rest of the BS is just a distraction. I feel infinite creativity and inspiration every day and that keeps me going no matter what

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

I’m pretty late to the electronic scene. I’ve listened to Daft Punk, Pendulum, and some deadmau5 for a long time. But when I heard one of Excision’s Shambhala mixes and Skrillex’s Bangarang EP, I fell in love with the scene. My first electronic show was Skrillex at Bonnaroo in 2012, and it just blew me away. After that, I became interested in DJing and started doing that in 2013 and producing the following year.

2. You definitely have a very unique name for your project. Does the name have a specific meaning or derived from something in your life? Is there a story fans might not know about how you came to this name for your project?

I wish I had a better story for this, but my friends used to make up words that sounded like “Gavin” a lot. It started out as “Babbin” and then somehow got shortened to “Babz.” It kinda just stuck after that. I might end up changing it or just starting a new project soon to reflect the music I’m trying to make better.

3. What kind of impact do you wish to have on the scene 1-2 years from now with your project?

I’m hoping to add a few more songs to my catalogue and maybe do an EP or LP, then maybe start a side project that has a more defined sound. I only work on music a few hours a week; if that, so getting around to producing more and find something that means more to me is the next goal.

4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

Just to have fun writing music and performing. If it stops becoming fun, then you can burnout easily.

Bemah Makes Waves w/ New Track “Drowning (ft. Little Lion)”

Bemah Makes Waves w/ New Track “Drowning (ft. Little Lion)”

There are so many different ways to make sound and music evoke emotions through the use of different melodies, bass lines and synths. Being able to portray many emotions within a track can be a task to create as artist have to make sure that each element lines up perfectly to be able to give off the right feeling. Maryland based producer and bass artist, Bemah has done exact this in his latest track that we have the pleasure of premiering for you today. “Drowning (ft. Little Lion). This track uses its deep bass lines and moody synths to create a dark atmosphere, complimented by Little Lion’s soft floating vocals that can be heard through out the track. Reflecting Bemah’s on feelings at this time, this track definitely reflects a deeper melancholic mood that changes into a light airy soundscape as the track progresses. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Drowning (Ft. Little Lion)”, a certified bop.

“I started this song last year when I was feeling a bit down on myself as an artist. I wanted to track to reflect those emotions which is why I created the dark and moody soundscape. Once I had the idea going, I knew it needed a soft female vocal to compliment it. Little Lion was perfect for this track and she crushed the songwriting as well as the delivery. I love the evolution of the mood throughout this track and I hope other listeners can feel the emotions that were put into it.”

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

My uncle initially sparked my interest in music. He was a touring DJ in his twenties and bought me a DJ controller for my 15th Birthday. I went on to make some of the worst mashups imaginable. Seriously, I remember one of them was Eminem and Adele … Glad no one can hear that now. Over time I got much better and in college I was DJing at the bars 2-3 nights a week. I wanted to move away from open format, so that is when I decided to pursue music production and it’s been an obsession of mine ever since.

2. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so? 
It’s almost impossible to separate. Even when I am not working on the Bemah project, music is still heavily involved in my life. I am always listening to new music, bringing it up in conversation, listening to music podcasts, watching production videos, you name it, I am obsessed. Fortunately so are a lot of my friends, so were always sharing new music and attending shows together.  A big challenge as an artist is feeling the constant pressure to create and output content. I work a separate job outside of music, so I never feel like I have enough time to complete everything I want to accomplish. This feeling can be overwhelming at times. I am lucky to have super supportive friends and family around me and spending time with them always helps me feel refreshed. 
3. If there was one thing you could change for the betterment of society, what would it be and why?

One thing that comes to mind pertaining to our music community is no ticket fees! Our whole community is getting scalped by unnecessary fees. Live shows are some of the best experiences, even therapeutic, so making them more accessible, especially during a time of financial pressure would benefit both artists and fans. 

4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?

 have actually learned so much about myself through making music. I would say the biggest lesson I have learned and yet still have to teach myself time and time again is to be disciplined. Life happens and sometimes you don’t feel like working but I have grown so much as a producer by not letting these feelings deter me from producing that day. On several occasions where I have felt like this and pushed through anyway, I ended up making something amazing that I can be proud of. It always surprises me. My best advice would be: try not to compare your music to others. I still struggle with this all the time. I have a sticky note on my computer screen that says “Comparison is the Thief of Joy” to constantly remind myself.  Everyone is on their own journey in discovering their sound/style and we all have a different starting point and different barriers to overcome. The best thing you can do is try to improve your own production everyday. Take inspiration from music you really love and figure out how to bring it into your world.
