I’ve gone back to my roots and started fully appreciating broken music again.

Hi, Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ life.

Hello I’m IOWLA, most of you know me as Myles or Myles Diverse. I’ve been playing / making bass music in and out of Cornwall since circa 2007.

Describe your DJ sound.

Electronic / experimental / bass / half time / dubstep / drum & bass and anywhere in between.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but this style of music really excites me and I’ve always felt it’s home.

Tell us how you have kept busy during the last year or so of lockdowns.

I’ve gone back to my roots and started fully appreciating broken music again. There’s not much of a scene in Cornwall but I’m really enjoying it again so 6 months ago I decided to start my own label.

Talk us through this podcast episode and why you have chosen to include the tracks that have made the cut.

It’s a mixture of everything I’m into at the minute. Starts off deep and murky then heads into some 140 dubstep, breaks, electro then heads towards half time drum & bass ending with some deep rollers. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but this style of music really excites me and I’ve always felt it’s home.

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.
