B.TRAITS INTERVIEW

2012-03-22T15:28:00.001Z

B.Traits - the first Digital Soundgirl - has fired to the limelight through her new record "Fever". It's a dancefloor killer with something for everybody, and it's out next Monday. We managed to get a special interview her and talk about radio voices and wearing mens clothing. Kind of. LEZGO!

To me, Fever sounds like 4 remixes in one as it hops from style to style. I love that, as it keeps the crowd interested and you can certainly let the tune play out from beginning to end as an actual song, which isn't that common in electronic music today. Would you say that reflects your progression as a DJ and/or a reflection of your current DJ sets, genre wise?

B.TRAITS: Definitely! With my production style, it's a mash-up of all things that inspire and influence me. As far as my DJ sets go, I play many different styles and genres, anything from 90 bpm up to 170-180 bpm.

Out of your remixes of Fever, which one is your favourite and/or which one would you play out the most?

I honestly don't have a favourite! They are all really outstanding in their own way. Each person took it in their own direction and made it special but at the same time, still kept it old school. I think that's why the package works so well, each remix is completely different but still strong on their own.

Are they any other female artists/DJs we should be keeping an eye on? Other canadian talent you can point us to?

I'm really liking Grimes at the moment, her voice is amazing. Kito and Reijalee are wicked, Jubilee, J.Phlip, Maya Jane Coles... There are actually loads of great female DJ's coming up; 2012 is going to be a very exciting year for us ladies.

What's your Radio 1 show gonna be like? Have you been practicing your microphone voice?

Haha yep! It's very weird hearing my own voice on the radio. I'm still trying to get used to it!! I just want to have fun with the show and to make the most of my time at Radio 1. I am into so many different sounds and styles, my live DJ sets are quite diverse and I really want to represent that on the show. I'm going to play as much brand new and exclusive stuff as possible, so you'll hear something that you've never heard before. Again, I just want to have fun with it and bring so much of my personality to the show as I can.

My radio show is going to be on the first Thursday of every month from 9-10pm starting on the 5th of April.

For the gyaldem out there that want a touch of B.Traits style, what clothing labels out there do you dig? Hellz Bellz and Kid Robot, right?

Yeah those brands are definitely cool but I am absolutely infatuated with menswear right now. I'm into being comfortable, comfortably stylish. I don't think fancy women's clothes are all that comfortable and I just like how menswear fits. I don't get the chance to do it so much ast the moment but I like to design menswear in my spare time, when I'm not 'working'. I'd really like to do a menswear (for women) collection in the future. For me, I wear a lot of printed t's that I've designed with Digital Soundboy. Brands I'm really into right now are Norse Projects, Wood Wood, WTAPS, Neighborhood, even Supreme has some really cute pieces out this year. I'm also really into brands like The Brooklyn Circus that bring classic vintage ideas back to fashion.

What are your three favourite recent tracks you've been playing out?

My top three tracks at the moment are -

Roska - Oracle
Breakage - Back To The Future ft. Dear Prudence
Zed Bias - Heavy Water Riddim

Fever ft Elisabeth Troy is out on 25th March on Digital Soundboy. You can pre-order Fever HERE

Mista Men ft. Detboi - Happen To You EP

2012-02-29T05:11:00.000Z

We've watched Mista Men develop, and I really do think that this EP marks a flashpoint. Every track on this EP is a beaut. Intoxicating, exciting, deep, upfront, accessible, underground.

Stomach clenchingly good. Recommended.

B.Traits - Fever (plus remixes)

2012-02-29T04:31:00.000Z

This track has been getting wild reactions in my DJ sets recently. A mish-mash of styles, it hops from killer riff to killer riff like it's 5 remixes bunched into one track. Absolutely brilliant, truly a track you want to let play from beginning to end. Big up yous B.Traits!

Anyhow, Toddla T & DJ Q taken this cue and brought a remix that flits from garage to dub to hard bassline. Another banger.

Watch out for impressive remixes from Eats Everything & D Bridge too. Gotta bag 'em all!

Work (St Etienne remix) - The 2 Bears - Free download! Also their album is out today too, natch.

2012-01-30T17:19:00.001Z

To celebrate the release of The 2 Bears debut album 'Be Strong', they've released this remix for free.

It's cool, man. 80s sparse French House vibes with a cool British Man Like Me vocals over it. I'm not actually an expert on sparse 80s French House, and have no idea if sparse 80s French House ever actually existed, but if it did, it probably sounds like this song. Which is a good thing. I suppose.

You can actually stream the whole album. This is very cool and more publishers need to do this. Why? How am I supposed to judge a song worthy of download from a 15 second sound clip? One of the main reasons I don't buy from iTunes (that, and the fact they don't tell you the bitrate of the files you're buying - but I digress. Here's the Amazon link!).

So yeah, The 2 Bears are basically going to be huge and you'll hear them everywhere. But you heard it here first, kids!

Great live set from LENZMAN. Really getting into this style of D&B... any other recommendations?

Introducing: Our Friend

2012-01-18T13:41:00.002Z

Our Friend is a promising 20 year old producer from Bristol. He's still getting to grips with his sound but an upcoming track called "Fryday Nite" is fire, so watch out for it. Very promising though, he's got an ear for what sounds "good" - a talent one thinks you're either born with or you're not - keep it up!

I Killed Kenny & Koder

2012-01-17T22:41:00.000Z

I Killed Kenny Ft. Koder - Leeches EP ***OUT NOW*** by four40records

Rating these two. Leeches reads like a club version of "Woo Riddim" and War Paint sounds like it'd be a fixture in Diplo's sets. Koder's got a great delivery, highly charismatic. Remixes are meh, stick with the originals.
