3 QUESTIONS to JUST HER:
Q: Constant Circles is your new baby and it´s growing each day. What are your future plans with the label?
A: It has actually grown faster than I could ever have imagined! It hasn’t even been running for a year yet and it seems to have gained a huge amount of momentum and exposure, which makes me super proud, as I run the whole thing completely by myself. At the moment I am really busy with my own gig schedule, so I’m just concentrating on promoting the current release, which is Nandu’s stunning artist album, and organising the upcoming releases which includes an EP from Slow Hearts and a release from Giorgia Angiulli featuring a remix from some guy called Marc DePulse, who apparently is not a bad producer?!! In terms of future plans, I’m currently working hard on developing the visual art side of the brand, and also expanding the website which features music & art reviews, interviews and our radio shows (www.constantcircles.com). I’m also hoping to put on some label showcases later in the year and into 2017, in different countries and venues, to allow me to showcase both the musical and visual artists involved with the label. In the long term I hope to develop it into a much wider concept involving music, art, fashion and education.
Q: Most of the people also know Him_Self_Her. Did you stop the project or will it be continued one day?
A: Of course, Him_Self_Her has been a huge part of my musical journey and we had some amazing releases on massive labels like Crosstown Rebels and Toolroom. But I was working by myself for a while before we became Him_Self_Her and it was always the plan to make more solo material, particularly so that I could express myself more from a musical and songwriting point of view. Also Leon had some personal issues that meant he had to take a step back from the project - so at the moment it is on hold, and actually things have gone pretty well with Just Her, so it’s unlikely that I will have time to go back to it. However Leon is a great friend and you never know, we might have a reunion one day! But for now we are both concentrating on our solo projects.
Q: A few weeks after “Brexit“ now – how do you see the people living with this vote?
A: To be honest I don’t think anyone knows what will happen from this point onwards, or if we will even end up leaving the EU, as the politicians that campaigned for “Brexit” have all disappeared and our government is in disarray. There is a lot of animosity and uncertainty in the UK right now, and I understand why people used this vote to try and get their voices heard and to try and bring about some change in difficult times, especially those facing huge inequality, poverty, unemployment & so on. People are unhappy and want a better life. Personally I voted remain for a lot of reasons – obviously because I love travelling and working around Europe. But also because I’m a firm believer in love, unity and peace, and I don’t think division and isolation is ever a good thing. We have had imaginary borders imposed on us and have been conditioned to believe that a variation in skin pigmentation makes us different from one another, but ultimately we are all one race, on one planet. So let’s all just love our fellow humans :-)
