Artist Interview

Cakeboy will be back out of his box when the live opportunities return i'm sure!

Hi, please introduce yourself to those who are unfamiliar with your DJ work.

I have been producing & performing under the Cakeboy monika since 1998. I am not a DJ in the traditional sense. I come from a studio production background so chose the live route when it came to playing out, allowing me to mix my own music with other people's in a creative & spontaneous way. 

How have you utilised the 2020/21 lockdowns?

I actually started an entirely new musical project, which i'm pretty sure wouldn't have happened if my usual festival schedule hadn't suddenly ground to a halt. It's been great. A much more thoughtful & musical sound has been pouring out of me & i'm working with a singer too, writing lyrics & everything!. I've called it 'Holocene' & i'm unveiling tracks as they happen. Cakeboy will be back out of his box when the live opportunities return i'm sure!

Take the hook from one tune & splice it with another...

Describe your DJ style.

Bouncy breakbeats, bass house, mash ups, lot's of live samples. A bit tongue-in-cheek at times. I always aim to entertain.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

I'll say this... virtually none of the tunes are in thier original form. I love to pull things apart & knit them back together in my own way. Take the hook from one tune & splice it with another, alter the arrangements. I've always worked this way. It ensures a bit of originality & a sense of fun.

We explore the thoughts of artists and music sharing. In today's digital age, discovering new music has become more accessible than ever due to online platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and download services such as Beatport. While traditional methods of exploring music, such as visiting record shops, have diminished in popularity, the process of musical exploration remains significant and enriching, especially when one encounters a standout track. For performing artists, the quest for fresh music is a continuous endeavor, often regarded as equally important as the performance itself. This raises an interesting question: is it appropriate for artists to keep the details of their music sources confidential? This topic invites further discussion from some of the South West DJs and producers on the nature of music discovery in the modern landscape.
