Here’s an extract:
Distal can turn his hands to everything from the deepest dubstep to the most juked-out club tracks, and the results never seem diluted; rather, they feel like a consistent series of experiments from someone simply in love with music.
Speaking to him, he’s exactly as you’d expect from his music: inhumanly enthusiastic and eager to elaborate about anything he’s asked, and even stuff that he’s not. He’s already released a substantial amount of music in the last 12 months, but you’re about to hear a lot more: ‘Boss of the South’ and ‘Angry Acid’, released on Grizzly and Tectonic respectively (the latter features a certain R. Ellis on additional production and mixdown) represent his two best singles to date, and he’s currently putting the finishing touches to an album for Tectonic.
We spoke about footwork, synaesthesia and taking your shoes off in the club.
You seem every bit the modern dance producer – tons of releases scheduled for various labels, flitting between genres, your own label – is that a pretty fair description of you?
“Yes, very. I like to produce and DJ music at all tempos and moods. Being eclectic is becoming more and more of a rarity lately. Plus I’m a bit ADD in the studio, I can’t get stuck making the same thing for too long or I’ll go crazy.”
