I’ve heard on the grapevine that you’re in the process of launching (or have just launched!) your own imprint. What can you tell us about Beyond Time Recordings? Yeah man. It’s called Beyond Time Recordings and the first release was Realisation, which came out on the 25th of November. I’m really excited about it! Starting a label was always a dream too and after completing the process of designs, label name, distribution etc it’s finally ready! Time to get this music out there!

Is the label just for your own music or will you be releasing other musicians’ work? I’m just concentrating on getting my own stuff out there at the moment. Saying that, I am in contact with some great artists with some great music too so watch this space. I’ve got a few ideas for 2017 and am really looking forward to hopefully watching Beyond Time Recordings grow and building into a solid team!

Right, your FKOF mix. Tell us about that! Like I said earlier, really I’ve had my head down writing a lot of new music and really wanted to showcase a lot of it through this mix taking the listener on a Dark Tantrums journey.

What have been the highs and lows of 2016? I’d say my highs for 2016 were definitely starting the label and pushing myself again. As for the lows music-wise it’s probably not pushing myself at the beginning of the year and re-evaluating everything. But, then again, that could have been a good thing? I guess I’ll find out in the near future!

What’s next for DT — what can we expect from you next year? Right this year, Tantrums is bbaaaaaccckkk. Taking no prisoners! Seriously, though, I’m just focusing on getting a lot of music out there and have my first release Ever Lost dropping on 10/02/17 via my good friend RDG’s Circle Vision! I’m also excited for future shows and am in the process of some very nice collabs which will be revealed ASAP!

Any final words or shoutouts? Thanks for your time — and it’s a pleasure to have chatted with you! Well, first off, I’d really like to thank you guys for this interview/mix. It’s been a long time coming! I’d also really like to big up my family, music friends and supporters for sticking by me when I decided to close a few doors and go down my own road. You know this music game, along with other things in life, becomes a lot more different when you get into the scene and you won’t understand certain things until you do — but nevertheless it’s also very exciting!
