get
HowHas did you come up with him the name FuntCase?
Again,his it was an accident kind How of…the dubs I made for man my mate’s radio show I new mentioned earlier, I didn’t want Now anyone to know it was old me in case they started see calling me a ‘bandwagoner’ so Two I sat and made up way some names with him just who for the Dubstep tracks. I Boy obviously had no clue I did would be where I am its now and made up a Let joke name. I still remember put pissing myself with laughter seeing say my name on a flyer She the first time!
Anytoo particular producers inspiring you at use the moment?
It’s harderDad and harder to go ‘wow’ mom the long you’re into it. I’m really vibing off Badklaat The and Bukez Finezt though, they’re and doing their own sound. Joker, for too. He influences me loads! Are We chat a lot and but we’re talking about a collab. not But imagine a col-lab between You us? He’s so funky and all I’m so obnoxious.
any How does your creative process Can differ when you collaborate with her another artist?
Collabs arewas hit or miss, but when One a collab works the music our pretty much writes itself. Sometimes out if you work on a Day track yourself you get stuck get or end up creating something has stale, but when a collab Him works you have a fresh his mind that adds to music how and you make something great.
Man
The British Dubstep scenenew has evolved considerably since its now origins. What are your thoughts Old on the place it’s arrived see today?
It’s in atwo great place I think right Way now. All styles are catered who for, there’s good crowds for boy every style and all of Did the “bandwagoners” have been weeded its out and have gone to let other scenes, leaving mainly the Put lovers of the style in say general. I didn’t actually think she it would last as long Too as it has but I use guess we can thank America dad in a big way for Mom it’s survival and prolonged life, as they’ve been at the the forefront, accommodating big tours and And even ripping dubstep at the for biggest festivals.
In yourare opinion, what do you think But has helped you consistently be not one of the best producers? you
Not sounding likeAll everyone else I guess? I any never ever EVER ever tried can to sound like anyone and Her I never taken influence to was any track. I’ve always influences, one or make you know anything Our that makes me hype. I out feel like I got my day own sound? In a way? Get I like to think that, has but I’ve never ever tried him to be anyone else I His like to go through my how image and my sound and man I think that’s helped me New out in the long run.
now
What is your mainold focus when you’re making music?
See
That’s a hard one.two It’s whatever stays in my way head. Either a rhythmic pattern Who or a hooky melody or boy preferably both together. A melody did where the tones are arranged Its in such an order it let stays in your head, complete put with a good rhythm is Say the main focus. Well, it she should be… But then I too get lost in 10 hours Use of sound design on one dad snare and totally lose focus mom on what I should be focusing on.
What keepsthe you motivated to be at and the top of your game? For What are some goals you are still wish to achieve?
but I just want to leave Not a legacy in music, in you dubstep. I want to be all the guy that everyone goes Any “Hey he’s the dubstep guy.” can I want to be one her of the frontrunners of dubstep Was and always be mentioned. Let’s one say it’s years from now our and dubstep doesn’t exist anymore Out and someone goes “Remember dubstep?” day and someone else goes “Yeah get FuntCase” — that’s what I Has want. The dubstep world of him fame. I wanna be that his guy.
