Taro Division (@tarodivision) is a hardline techno act from the UK who regularly releases on his own imprint Taro Records. With an obsession with drum machines, distortion and acid synthesis he create his heavy experimental sound. Practically everything, from hats to ambiances, is either moderately or abundantly distorted, but stays on the techno side and doesn't reach levels of rhythmic noise.

Podcast #53 - WNDRLST (@wndrlstt) [NL]

Interview with WNDRLST:

Virtual Underground: How have you discovered Techno music?

WNDRLST: I think I'm going to give a very common answer and say that one of my friends dragged me into it about 3 years ago (and still super glad he did today). I've always been interested in Electronic music but eventually got convinced to attend a techno festival in summer 2015 and pretty much fell in love with it since then. It wasn’t a hard techno party but it didn’t take me long to attend the more darker scene too which definitely is the scene I love the most. I’ve been DJ’ing and producing as a hobby for roughly 10 years now (on and off) and eventually started messing around creating my first techno loops. After 2 years of experimenting trying to create my own sounds I finally found the confidence to release tracks and sets as I am a perfectionist kind of guy and wish to show nothing less than the best I can possibly deliver.

VU: What motivates you to do your music?

WNDRLST: The strive to learn to create new sounds every time I open my producing software. I’ve definitely got artists that inspire me and as much as I love their sound I do want to develop my own style and have people recognise it eventually and sort of ‘claim’ my own role in the scene. As of currently I am definitely more confident with producing than I am with DJ’ing so I suppose the ultimate motivation at this point would be to have one of my tracks played by a big artist on some massive event/gig.

VU Any artists that inspire your work?

WNDRLST: Rebekah, Paula Temple, Dax J, Ansome, Perc, Ghost in the Machine - there are too many to list here, as long as its dark and industrial I’ll find bits and pieces in their tracks that draw my attention.

VU: How do you find your tracks?

WNDRLST: Some of my friends DJ/Produce, we share tracks quite often and if not that, I’d plan in an evening to browse Soundcloud and usually end up with a good tracklist by the end of the evening.

VU: What software/hardware do you use?

WNDRLST: Currently FL Studio 20 - picking up my first hardware piece soon, so after that a mixture of Ableton Live/FL Studio.

VU: Anything to add?

WNDRLST:Firstly, thanks for the opportunity and a thank you to whoever have listened to the mix - greatly appreciated. I’ve also just released my first EP named “Path of Destruction” including 4 dark techno tracks which you’ll be able to find on my Soundcloud profile. Currently no gigs planned although I am attending a couple of competitions which could potentially lead to claiming a spot in a line-up somewhere, therefore I would like to ask for any of you to give me a follow or drop me some feedback in general - constantly willing to improve.

Thanks WNDRLST for this amazing set!

Virtual Underground Podcast #51 by St0 (@st0hu), Producer and DJ from Humgary + Q&A

Virtual Underground: How have you discovered Electronic music?

StO: As a kid I had my parents buy me some UK hardstep jungle collection during a vacation. I think it was around ’95 when I was 12 years old. That really opened my eyes to all the various electronic music out there. I really got to love some drum&bass tunes (eg. Bassface Sascha, Tech Itch Recordings, Ed Rush) as well as classic jungle stuff.

Also my brother who is 2 years older started listening to some electronic music in the late 90’s like garage, Tech-house, prog house, Techno. Through him I also heard various kinds of electronic music.

VU: What motivates you to do your music?

StO: I love all around science fiction and horror movies. I am really in to dark and disturbing music. I am doing it for my own pleasure, the fact that others like it too makes me even more motivated.

VU: Any artists that inspire your work?

StO: The list would be really long but here are some of my inspirations: Craig Richards Carl Finlow, UMWELT, Drexciya, L.F.O., Aphex Twin, Noisia, Morphology, THE HACKER, Ricardo Villalobos, Dexter, Jensen Interceptor etc. while I also find inspiration in the band Animals As Leaders or Navene K the drummer.

VU: How do you find your tracks?

StO: I listen to a lot of mixes, I am following the new releases of my favorite labels and obviously I am following a lot of artists on Soundcloud.

VU: What software/hardware do you use?

StO: My set of hardware consists of a KORG VOLCA Keys, KORG Volca Beats, Novation Launchkey 49 MK II, a laptop (with a M-Audio M-Track X2 audio interface, a mixer and a turntable. As for software I mainly use FL Studio, Ableton,Soundforge and VST plugins.

VU: Anything to add?

StO:This mix includes some of my favorites as well as two tracks of my own, Hard Landing and Malfunction.

Right now I am working on a mix of my productions only but unfortunately I do not have too much time to spare these days. I have around a dozen finished tracks of various genres (D&B, Techno, Breakbeat, Electro) and I am working on about 2-3 new tracks simultaneously.

Marina: I just came back from Bordeaux where I was playing b2b with Venice Calypso​. I am really glad that I had that opportunity to meet people from 𝕯𝖊𝖒𝖆𝖎𝖓 𝕶𝖔𝖑𝖑𝖊𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖛 and play for such a wild audience. That was totally next level expierence. Another big step in my dream journey will take place in London in December. I will play at INFERNO where I will be able to feel totally different vibe from totally different audience. And that audience is very interesting , very unusuall. Really cant wait for it. I am slowly getting ready to release my first EP but I am not in a rush anyway. There is no need to be impatient with music production. I would love to release my music in close future but I really want to show tracks which are complete, powerfull and irrefutable.

Thanks Marina Aleksandra for this awesome set!
