MiMOSA – Live @ Masquerade, Atlanta, GA (VTT Interview & Photos)
When did you first get into producing music?
I got into producing when I was 16 years when I picked up a
program called fruity loops and started making side trance jingles because
that’s what was popular at the time kind of like how dubstep is now. I met a
few friends, who were side trance producers and made a few tracks, I didn’t
really play them for anybody cause they sucked. I was into hip hop before that,
I grew up in California and that’s just what I was listening to.

After that I
went to Burning Man to check out more side trance and I heard this new chill
out music, anything that wasn’t side trance was chill out music. I heard it and
the shit I heard was a cross of hip hop and side trance and it had the hip hop
beats and psychadelic sound of side trance. I liked that sound and that’s where it all kind of started.

Does Touring ever take a hold with the partying and being in
a different city every night?
a different city every night?
I don’t really party, I play shows, we drive to the venue, I
eat my food. I get ready for the show, I prep my set, we do sound check and
then I got on the bus, I get ready to play. While we’re driving or parked at the venue I set up my sound
system and I am working on music while these guys set up the rig. I am constantly
fuckin’ working.

After spending time in NYC, in retrospect how did it move
you?
you?
I’m a westcoast kid, I’ve grown up in California I’ll always
have the sound. Being out in NY, it didn’t change me, but it definitely
effected me and changed my perspective a little bit. My outlook is the same and
I’ll keep my sound, but I try different things now. I heard a lot of stuff at
parties that I would never go to on the west coast and I was vibing it and I
went home and carried that vibe with me. I would make little stems and what not
and at the end of it I had the heart of a new project and took it back to LA
and refined it.

Sort of like the low-end theory movement they’re pushing out
there w/ gas lamp and other music?
there w/ gas lamp and other music?
Yeah exactly, everybody knows that it’s important to merge
the gap and trying to infuse the different sounds that we have and I am really
vibing with it. It’s really dope. Music is about unity and getting people to
feel great and you gotta hit all the notes.
