Sinchi & Friends 54 is London based Richard Baldwin aka @thesovietunion . We were first introduced to Rich's music by our friends No Strings Attached and the rest as they say is history. We fell in love with his track 'Anamnesis' and we were proud to release as the first on the @phantasm-records vinyl label featuring a special remix from In Flagranti and one from ourselves. Get to know the man behind it all below -
1) Introduce yourself?
Hi I'm Rich... I’ve been fiddling around with music in some form or other as long as I can remember, and have always been fascinated by synthesizers and drum machines from a young age. I’ve made music in a meaningful fashion since I was a teenager.
2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?
Being asked to release Anamnesis on the brand new Phantasm Records was a definite high. The original track was recorded some time ago so it’s strange how things work out.
3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?
I’m working on a few things, mostly trying to utilize the analogue hardware I love so much. I’ve recently repaired an old Roland favourite, so will hopefully make my setup a little more permanent.
