George Fitzgerald, SOAK, Marie Davidson, Mount Kimbie's Kai Campos and TOKiMONSTA discuss how they make their music matter in today鈥檚 transient world.
George Fitzgerald, SOAK, Marie Davidson, Mount Kimbie's Kai Campos and TOKiMONSTA discuss how they make their music matter in today鈥檚 transient world, whether an artist鈥檚 work has to have a clear narrative, having to live with music that you're not 100% happy with, and accidentally writing knock-offs of your favourite artists.
George FitzGerald is one of the most popular electronic producers and DJs in the UK right now. He was raised on garage and dubstep in his early years, before moving to Berlin to work as a translator and falling in love with the city's house and techno scenes.
French-Canadian producer Marie Davidson's hypnotic style combines analog synthesizers and drum machines with 鈥渟poken text鈥 vocals, leading to a prolific career both as a solo artist and member of creative trio L鈥櫯抜l Nu.
SOAK is a thought-provoking singer-songwriter from Northern Ireland. Their effortless intimacy and moving lyrics have marked them as a voice for their generation, writing honest and introspective tracks that are mature beyond their years.
After expanding the horizons of the dubstep scene in the late 2000s, Mount Kimbie's Kai Campos has gained a reputation for being an innovative producer, lending his skills to the likes of James Blake, King Krule and slowthai.
TOKiMONSTA is a producer, DJ and prominent member of LA鈥檚 underground dance music scene. She creates a futuristic style of electronic music that touches pop and instrumental hip-hop, and is also the boss of the Young Art label.
