Earlier this year (March, 2010) Dubchild played at KIEVBASS night and totally killed it there! That party became one of the best nights we've ever done. Two days of proper laugh, warm communication and heavy partying made me become even bigger fan of Dubchild then I used to be. So... enjoy Dubchild's interesting answers and 1 hr. mix of tasty bass heavy madness! KIEVBASS: Introduce yourself in several sentences for those who might be not familiar with you yet. DUBCHILD: I go by the name of Dubchild. I have been producing for a while now, I produce Breakstep, Dubstep, Grime, and Dubfunkie, anything with a dirty bass really. I have Released material on 100% Records (sister label to formation records) Storming Productions, Heavy Artillery and I am know releasing material on DPR owned by Noodles (Groove Chronicles). KB: Tell us about your music and cultural background. What made you become YOU? (Music, books, movies, comics, subcultures, etc. D: I come from a very strong musical background I have been brought up listening to artist such as Dennis Brown, Gregory, Isaacs, steel pulse, also Chaka Khan, Jimi Hendrix,Police,George Benson, Pink Floyd a lot of 80’s Funk and Soul Electro Hip-Hop.. My Dad is a lead guitar player and has played in many different bands from funk to dub reggae, so I have always been surrounded by music. I was taught to play the drums from the age of six by the time I was twelve I was playing drums for the steel band and orchestra at my school, that was around the age I started getting more into electronic production. My elder brother who got me into electronic production was introduced to a program called Octamed a sequencing program for the Amiga 500 by his friend who was already producing on his Amiga. The thing about this program was that you was able to add your own samples and back then people had to use outboard samplers so to me this was heaven, before we had the program we used to make beats using two tracks samples on the left channel drums on the right channel hahaha!. That was also the time I got really serious about Hip-Hop early 90’s the best time for hip hop well for me anyway I started to listen to how samples were chopped up and breaks were looped inspired by producers such as Pete Rock, Premier, Marley Marl and Rza. My brother used to buy break beat sample records Simon Harris etc so we started to understand more on how beats were arranged. also when I started collecting records I used to read where the artist sampled the original tunes from and try to buy them from record fairs and second hand record shops and try to recreate what  the other artist were doing which opened my eyes to the world of sampling. I was finding different loops and learning techniques on how to chop drums using different kicks and snares from different records and putting them together, I was hooked I had to do it every day just to get better. When the Jungle movement started to form I realized I already had the breaks that other producers were using so I messed about with few ideas I used to play my beats to family and close friends most of them were Djs or musicians as I was a bit weary to let people hear my tunes  but I was getting positive feedback. A particular friend introduced me to UK Garage or Speed Garage as it was called then he used to give me mixed tapes with people like Ramsey and fen Tuff jam, mj cole, Groove chronicles, Todd Edwards, labels like well built, prolific, nice and ripe. It was a fresh sound it was soulful U.S house beats with dirty jungle basslines. After moving on to Cubase and a Akai S20 sampler I started making 4x4 speed garage which opened the door to different techniques and manipulation of sound, Valta no http://www.kievbass.com/podcasts/2010/06/valta-and-minikin-interview-ru-and-podcast-for-dubstepper-ru/ http://www.kievbass.com/podcasts/2010/06/valta-and-minikin-interview-ru-and-podcast-for-dubstepper-ru/#comments Mon, 14 Jun 2010 13:23:36 +0000 Valta http://www.kievbass.com/?p=1515 http://www.kievbass.com/podcasts/2010/06/valta-and-minikin-interview-ru-and-podcast-for-dubstepper-ru/feed/ 7 http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/05/rob-sparx-interview-for-kievbass/ http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/05/rob-sparx-interview-for-kievbass/#comments Tue, 11 May 2010 16:06:48 +0000 Valta http://www.kievbass.com/?p=1367 http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/05/rob-sparx-interview-for-kievbass/feed/ 1 http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/baobinga-interview-for-kievbass/ http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/baobinga-interview-for-kievbass/#comments Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:51:57 +0000 Valta http://www.kievbass.com/?p=1303 http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/baobinga-interview-for-kievbass/feed/ 1 http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/kalbata-interview-for-kievbass/ http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/kalbata-interview-for-kievbass/#comments Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:29:59 +0000 Valta http://www.kievbass.com/?p=1103 http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/kalbata-interview-for-kievbass/feed/ 3 http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/high-rankin-on-kiss-fm-jay-cunning-show/ http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/high-rankin-on-kiss-fm-jay-cunning-show/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:53:18 +0000 Minikin http://www.kievbass.com/?p=1017 http://www.kievbass.com/interviews/2010/04/high-rankin-on-kiss-fm-jay-cunning-show/feed/ 0 http://www.kievbass.com/news/2009/11/baobinga-interview-for-kmag-co-uk/ http://www.kievbass.com/news/2009/11/baobinga-interview-for-kmag-co-uk/#comments Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:20:44 +0000 admin http://213.186.118.210/?p=586 http://www.kievbass.com/news/2009/11/baobinga-interview-for-kmag-co-uk/feed/ 0
