S.U.B. Podcast #45 Owlie (Platform - BG)




SUB: Hey, could you tell us how did you get involved and decided to start playing music?
 
Basically, this is all Basscatz’s fault! I had some previous involvment with mixing music, but  it was when Martin took me in Platform two years ago that i began to take all this more serious and started to improve my skills, got into producing beats etc.


SUB: Could you explain to us what Platform is and who stands behind it?

Platform Music is the first Bulgarian label specialized in Dubstep & Bass Music. Our first release just recently became one year old, but the organisation that is Platform exists for two years now! Behind it there are few very talented and devoted people who run the show – so shouts to Martin, Ivan Shopv, Bozhidar and everyone who has devoted a part of their time to making all this happen. Ofcourse we cannot pass all the amazing artist that have released with Platform in the past year: Balthazar & JackRock / Balkansky / L 33 / High Roll / Disphonia / Camelorg / Basscatz / d$pot / Vallew / DrumKid


SUB: You do your own production, what equipped do you use, and have you had a previous music background?

I’m still on the learning curve, though i have the opportunity to learn from some very talented artist who are around me.  Equipment wise at the moment I use Ableton 9 and an analog synth – that's it, pretty basic! 


SUB: Have you released anything by far?

I haven’t released any tracks up to this date, but there is a debut release coming on Platform around June 2014. More about this – soon.


SUB: Thanks for the quality made mix, as I can notice you used your own production, and never trying to go through those mainstreamed sounds. Why is that? Is it because of the laws for pirated music or you wanted to create your own specific sounds. Have you ever used more mainstreamed sounds into your sets?  

I think that dubstep is an underground genre with a distinct raw sound. Those mainstreamed sounds I think you’re talking about – they are part of the pop music culture.


SUB: Have you ever been to Skopje? 

This is my first time in Skopje, but from what I've heard from my friends – it’s mad, xaxa! So i’m looking forward to the party on Saturday. From me you can expect a wide selection of music ranging from 120 to 140 bpm – that's all I’m telling.


SUB: Why dubstep, have you tried any other sounds, what has got you drawn into this sound?

My head nods on dubstep more than on anything else, I guess that's why! I can’t quite explain what draws me into this sound though – it just does. I think this is the purest form of attraction to something – when you don’t know why, but you know you love it.


SUB: Can you tell us something more about the Bulgarian bass scene?

The Bulgarian bass scene is backed up by some amazing artist and organizations at the moment, so shouts to:  H.M.S.U. , Renesanz , High Roll , Balthazar & JackRock, Cooh and all the rest I’m missing – theese are the poeple who push the sound round here, so check their work if you haven’t!


See you all on Saturday!
