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.

Artist Interview

...I’m excited to share something a bit different...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Hello again! It’s been about a year since I last put together a mix for you all. For those who don’t know me, I’m Trix, aka ‘Miss Trixsta’, and I run a local Drum and Bass brand called Raw Rotation. While Drum and Bass is my main focus, I do like to explore other genres as well. This time, I’m excited to share something a bit different - a Breakbeat mix!

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

This year has been quite a whirlwind for me. I left my job of 10 years after realising I couldn't advance the way I wanted. I then started a new role, only for the company to fold three months later. But now, I’ve finally landed a job that I’m genuinely happy with, so I've been pretty busy getting all those "adulting" tasks back in order. Despite the chaos, I’ve still made time for my music projects. I’ve played some amazing gigs, including a memorable night supporting the legendary Roni Size in Exeter - a true highlight, as he’s one of the artists who introduced me to underground music over 20 years ago. Coming up, I’ll be supporting LTJ Bukem, which is another gig I’m really looking forward to!


I've also had the pleasure of running some stages for TNT Promotions down in Zennor, which has been a lot of fun. There’s nothing quite like an all-night music event in a field! Speaking of festivals, I'm co-running the Drum and Bass area again this year with my good friend DJ Leroy, and it’s only a couple of weeks away now! If you’re around, grab a ticket and support our local festivals. You can get tickets here.

My style is all about letting the music breathe.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

Just have fun with it! If you're loving what you do, that's what really counts. Don’t stress about what others think or what they’re up to. Be authentic, be kind, and you’ll find your way to where you want to be.

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

I’ve mentioned before how I like to blend two tracks together and let them flow in the mix. I’m not the type of DJ who crams 100 tracks into 30 minutes. My style is all about letting the music breathe. Over the years, I've drawn inspiration from old school legends like Marcus Intalex, DJ Randall, and Bryan Gee, as well as from newer artists. There’s always something fresh out there that keeps me inspired.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

As I mentioned earlier, I’m sending you something a bit different this time! I'm super excited to share an hour-long Breakbeat mix that I recently played live for the ‘Say Nuffin’ brand, recorded straight from the club. Don’t let the soft, atmospheric intro fool you—this mix is packed with heavy drops, big blends, dirty basslines, and some killer vocal breakdowns. It was honestly so much fun to play. I’m a huge Breakbeat fan and love the technical challenges that come with mixing this genre. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed performing it live!
