Q&A:

Sum up this mix in 10 words…

A mix featuring a wide range of the styles of D&B from Interstellar Audio

What’s your personal favourite track on it?

Chris Avantgarde X Kevin de Vries – Mind Control (Jinbu Bootleg)

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?

IA is made up of a community of people with such diverse styles and tastes which makes a 100% IA mix a real melting pot of flavours but that is the essence of our brand which gives us the breadth we have.

Tell us about your next release…

Personally, as Cellar, my next release is a track included on Frontiers Vol.2, “Only One” its a track I really enjoyed making, I am not an accomplished producer by any means and this style was something I had wanted to experiment with and learn about so the sessions I spent in the studio on this one were really fun and challenging, I often say we should focus on the joy that comes from the act of creation rather than be too hung up on how music performs and this tune was all about that creative session enjoyment, I learnt a lot and I had good fun, input from people in our community helped me develop the track into the flavour I was aiming for and for me that is the thing I enjoy most about producing.

What have you got coming up? 

November 15th will see the release of our second instalment of Frontiers, an annual charity project that aims to try and contribute in some small way to the amazing work being done by humanitarian organisations around the world, this year the Frontiers project is helping Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) specifically their Emergency Surgery response that aims to provide emergency theatre operations in areas acutely affected by conflict and crisis such as Gaza and Sudan.

November 15th will also see IA host Lenzman at Hidden in Nottingham, a huge moment in the development of the brands event’s. We are trying to make space for the IA flavours of Liquid and Minimal DnB in a scene that is increasingly dominated by more trendy styles. https://www.fatsoma.com/r/5bf95dd4-c636-4001-81de-109b4eac4748/e/kompvu95

Then in December, we continue our annual Christmas social events, this time we are invited to Phatsoundz event with Kyrist & Spectral, IA will be having a fun brand takeover slot on the lineup and a bunch of our family will be letting our hair down for a bit of Christmas fun, would love to see everyone there https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Shrewsbury/Carriages%2C-Oswestry/Phatsoundz-Presents-Kyrist-Spectral–MC-XL/40070527/

And then as we move into 2025 there is a real drive to focus on the products we put out and develop our brand identity and flavour, some really incredible releases and events are in the works. Blessed to be working on these opportunities.

When was the last time you actually raved?

We threw our rooftop party in Nottingham a few weeks back and it was such a joy to get to celebrate the end of summer with the IA family and there was such a sense of community and optimism for everything everyone has going on, such an awesome day. 

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?

Huge thanks to everyone that supports the IA project and believes in the corner of the scene we are involved in, we try and make our community welcoming to all and we would love to get to know other people that love this sound.
