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've always loved the sound of a rolling bassline...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Hello everyone, my name is Pete Rees and I've been DJing since the late 90's when my love for dance music started, especially the sound of trance. I've always loved the sound of a rolling bassline with a melodic vibe so I've tried to stay true to my sound and follow that vibe through my sets.

...socialise with like-minded artists.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?
The highlights of the past year which really stand out for me have been warming up for Lisa Pin-Up, an ’90s/early 00’s favorite of mine; becoming a resident DJ for Khaos Events where I’ve played alongside some of Plymouth's legendary DJs; being a resident DJ on Beach Radio where I’ve shared the airwaves with the likes of Sebastien Leger, Mark Knight, Judge Jules, Nora En Pure; playing at the amazing Terrace Cafe and Bar on Plymouth Hoe for Sonar where my first event was the official pre-party for 1 Big Summer and more recently playing alongside Amber D.
