Virtual Underground :
How has this Human Experiments story started ?
Human Experiments :
I don’t really know how and when it started to be fair, music has always been part of my life and i was introduced to electronic quite young. I guess I started taking a real interest in djing when I first went to nightclubs. Learning how to mix was quite a logical next step for me. And then naturally from a certain point, the will to express my own idea of music started to emerge and that’s why I learned to produce. Besides, playing your own material in front of an audience is always more satisfying.
Virtual Underground :
Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?
Human Experiments :
I produce techno but my inspirations are quite eclectic : rhythmic noise, industrial, EBM, basically all of this kind of subgenres in which experimentation and the search for an extreme sound experience has a primary role. I'm also very receptive to cinematic music notably when it’s made of orchestral sonorities and aggressive rhythms, it always grabs me when it’s wisely mixed up with techno.
Virtual Underground :
Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ?
Human Experiments :
I’d say this set follows the pattern of what I usually do : Combine hard and cinematic techno materials with more accessible and danceable ones, always with a punk note. Regarding the mixing process itself I try not to just play tracks after tracks but to create synergies between them. So tracklist and running order selection is quite important.
Virtual Underground :
Which software/hardware did you use for this set ?
Human Experiments :
CDJ nexus 2000 and DJM 900.
Virtual Underground :
What are your next plans ?
Human Experiments :
I’m not gonna lie I don’t have much time to produce, but some tracks of mine will be released soon on various labels, maybe with a press on vinyl format. On the long run I'd love to work on a live project.
