iEDM: What were your thoughts of the Dirtybird label prior to releasing music on with them?

Steve: Prior to releasing music on Dirtybird I loved Dirtybird and went to a bunch of their parties. Landing a record on Dirtybird was a huge goal of mine.

iEDM: Who are your dream collaborators and why?

Steve: Would love to do a track with Ardalan at some point - his production style is weird and very technical which does the trick for me. Would also love to write something super funky with Claude.

iEDM: Where else will we see you touring 2020?

Steve: All over the US and Canada, maybe Australia and who knows where else.

iEDM: Any new music/ collabs in the works you can tell us about?

Steve: I have a collab EP with Sacha Robotti coming out on his new label, Slothacid very soon. Lots of other collabs in the works - most recently I’ve been working on some tunes with Brazilian producers, Plastic Robots.

iEDM: Who are your biggest inspirations and influences in your music and why?

Steve: Some combo of Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead, Biggie, The Crystal Method and The Chemical Brothers. These are a few artists I listened to growing up who really inspired me to start playing and writing music when I was a wee lad and continue to inspire me today.

iEDM: What are your favorite pastimes outside of music?

Steve: Playing with my cat, cooking, software engineering

iEDM: Any new producers you'd like to shout out and put on our radar?

Cour T, The Sponges, Oonagi, Bøats

iEDM: Can you touch upon what this song is about?

“That’s Hot” is about a female bird judging male birds who perform mating dances for her (like that scene on that episode of Planet Earth or one of those other six nature shows narrated by David Attenborough - I forget which one). They puff their chests up and make their feathers turn magical colors or whatever, you know… bird stuff. I wrote this song with my girlfriend, “Big J”, who did the vocals, and my eel buddy, “oonagi”.
