Robo Jo-Jo Exclusive - Torus Interview
Robo Jo-Jo: So tell us who Torus is and where you come from and how old are you and when did you start producing dubstep. ?
Torus:
My name is Zach Kremer, I'm originally from Hudson, WI. I actually only started producing Dubstep about 6 months ago or so, but I've been making electronic music in general for like 5 years
Robo Jo-Jo: How old where you when you got influenced by the music you enjoy and where did you get the name Torus from . ?
Torus:
I can't really say that dubstep was the original genre that made me want to produce it. I think it first started when I was like 16 with Drum and Bass music. I used to always listen to Spor / Noisia / Black Sun Empire, and I loved the gritty dark feel of the tracks. A friend later showed me a couple of Dubstep songs when I was 18 or so by Cookie Monsta and Tek-One; that was the first dubstep I really ever liked.
Robo Jo-Jo: What are the main influences to your genre of choice and what do you see in the music of what you like. ?
Torus:
It's really hard to name a couple of artists and say they're my main influences. I listen to a lot of music and a lot of genres, I think that listening to a variety of music will give you the best edge especially in today's world. Too many artists sound the same and I think if you don't take influences from multiple genre's, you'll just end up sounding like a bad version of your favorite artist.
Robo Jo-Jo: What do you do when you produce your music in the recording studio how longs does it take you to finish your productions what do you like to have in hand. ?
Torus:
Well I don't really have a studio, I've got a nice laptop, and a bunch of VST's, that's about it. But I normally start out with some aspect of a song that I really want to build around, whether that be some geeky trance melody I wrote up, or some crazy synth patch I made in Massive. Once I have the motivation, I'll start building the track. It doesn't work about 75% of the time, but when it does it flows real well. I'd say a track takes me anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, depending on how many musical 'road-blocks' I hit along the way.
Robo Jo-Jo: What is your studio set up what Software / Hardware do you use and which piece of Technology is your favourite in your studio?
Torus:
I have a nice pair of studio headphones (I don't feel like giving any brand name shout-outs for the headphones). A pretty powerful laptop, and I used to have a 49 key midi keyboard (I hardly used it and ended up selling it). As for software, I mainly run Massive, Predator, Sylenth1, and sometimes Nexus. My favorite piece of software has got to be Massive, I'm sure most dubstep producers would say the same.
Robo Jo-Jo: f you could collab with anyone who would it be and why and what producer/artist/musician would you want to meet?
Torus:
I'd love to collab with any big name artist, I love seeing how other people do things and picking up tips / tricks on production / synthesizing techniques. If I had to choose though, I think i'd say Shekel, Getter, Skrillex, or Diesel. I'd love to meet Skrillex in person, he seems like a real chill guy and not too full of himself.
Robo Jo-Jo: What is your favourite thing to eat and drink. ?
Torus:
Rofl.. I do love my pizza, ramen noodles, pizza rolls... pretty much any junk-food. I mainly drink water, but every now and then I'll grab a couple energy drinks and work on music or play video games all night
Robo Jo-Jo: What Medium Do You Prefer Vinyl / MP3 And Why. ?
Torus:
Mp3, never had the money to afford actually buying vinyls of anything.
Robo Jo-Jo: What to you think about all this new dubstep thats coming out of what it can bring to the scene of dubstep and how does it become what it is and how did you start to make it. ?
Torus:
I think all the new dubstep flooding the scene is just making the scene more cut-throat. Everyone's learning how to make "sick" noises with Massive and half the artists just throw a bunch of them in a song and call it good. Now it's going back to production quality / music theory / rythym, the way it should have always been.
Robo Jo-Jo: What is it that you love About dubstep and drumstep music. ?
Torus:
I really love the outlandish noises mixed with the slower beat. It's almost like a bunch of futuristic gang anthems imo.
Robo Jo-Jo: What is your top 5 Favorite Movies?
Torus:
I really like Requiem for a Dream, American Beauty, Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River, and A Scanner Darkly.
Robo Jo-Jo: Any New Releases That The Listeners Should Look Out For?
Torus:
Anything by Chronos, those guys know what's up.
Robo Jo-Jo: Any Advice for Upcoming Artists / DJs / producers?
Torus:
Don't release anything until you're 100% satisfied with it. My best advice is once you think you're done with a track, give it like a day or two and have another listen, most likely you will change something for the better.
Robo Jo-Jo: Shout outs?
Torus:
Meh
Robo Jo-Jo: What is your favorite production that you have produced or producing. ?
Torus:
I really love Wraith and Beautiful Death
Robo Jo-Jo: Where do you think dubstep/electronica music is going to go and how is the scene in your city.
Torus:
I feel like it's eventually going to get more vocal, I love any dubstep track that an Emcee can kill it on / any girl with a great voice singing before the drop.
Thanks Torus for taking the time to do the interview and being so good of a producer and creating such epic dubstep.

Robo Jo-Jo Exclusive - Koele Koen Interview
Robo Jo-Jo: So tell us who Koele Koen is, where do you come from, how old are you and when did you start designing art ?
Koele Koen:
I'm a 21 year old simple guy from Belgium, Antwerp. I started drawing when I was 3 but the real designing for clients started 3 years ago and I'm stepping up my game ever since.
Robo Jo-Jo: How old were you when you got influenced by the art you enjoy now ?
Koele Koen:
I had many influences along the years, but I can say my biggest influence was when I was about 17.
Robo Jo-Jo: What are your main influences of artist that you like and what do you see in the art you like ?
Koele Koen:
My biggest influence was without a doubt Derek Deal, I randomly found an artwork of this guy on the internet, it was a T-shirt design for Emmure
and right there and then I knew I wanted to do the kind of stuff he was into,along the way I found many inspiring and helpful people like Felix Laflamme,Stephen Bunnell,Dan Mumford, Mutationsartwork,
Matthew Skiff, Godmachine,...
I Really like the way those artists can create a new reality that is unreal,their comic style combined with gore elements is something I've always admired. It makes something nasty acceptable.
Robo Jo-Jo: What do you do when you design your art in your working station,how long does it take you to finish a design you made and what do you like to have in hand. ?
Koele Koen:
I mainly drink a lot of coffee when I'm designing haha. Making a whole new artwork from scratch does take a day or 2 but since I'm not a fulltime designer (yet?) I have to schedule my amount of time I can spend in my working station.
I don't really have the need to have "things in hand" but I will make a remark if I do not agree or have a suggestion for my client.
Robo Jo-Jo: What is your art set up what software do you use and what's in your working station
Koele Koen:
I'm using a basic Wacom drawing board: Intuos 4M as hardware (combined with my laptop) The software I use is mainly Adobe Illustrator CS4 and Photoshop for mock ups of shirts. I also like to have lots of plants around me for some reason.
Robo Jo-Jo: If you could do an art design with anyone who would it be and why? And if you could meet anyone that is an artist or a talented person who would it be ?
Koele Koen:
I would like to work with Derek Deal, his style is simple but effective, I really love his work and helping him would be a major honor. If I could meet anyone in real life it would be Mutations Artwork (fernandes Jeferson) He's a talented guy but also
an amazing friend, he helped me hundreds of times and even designed my tattoo.
Robo Jo-Jo: what is your favourite thing to eat or drink ?
Koele Koen:
drink: coffee and monster energy, that’s my basic survival kit hah
Robo Jo-Jo: who is you favourite producer/dj in Belgium and how is the music scene in
where you're from ?
Koele Koen:
That would be Sound Of Stereo, these guys got me dancing several times at major festivals/parties. Music scene in Belgium is really vivid, the main cities really support the underground music
and there is always a party, event or concert you can go to.
Robo Jo-Jo: what is it that you love about art and designing and what is your favourite genre of music ?
Koele Koen:
The way I can express myself is amazing also the freedom of creating new things and show others what's in my head is an experience I love. I love many sorts of music.
Depends on my mood mainly, could be DnB, Metalcore, Blues, Indie, old school rock,....
Robo Jo-Jo: What is your top 5 Favorite Movies and what is your top artist/tracks of 2010 and so far in 2011 and who do you think is going to kill it this year. ?
Koele Koen:
Top 5 movies, to be honest I always forget the movies I watch and 2010 wasn't really a movie year for me. Artists/tracks. Tough one, 2010 was really a blasting year but the album that stuck with me the most was without a doubt “Bring Me The Horizon - There is a hell believe me I’ve seen it, there is a heaven let’s keep it a secret” the others would be heaven shall burn, Borgore, Her Bright Skies and The Wombats. 2011: has been a killer already thanks to Architects, Foo Fighters and White Lies.
Robo Jo-Jo: any new art designs that the world should know about in they future ?
Koele Koen:
Yeah I'll be getting more heavy and more into the death/metalcore although keep your eyes peeled cause I'm working for some big Belgium trash electro producers as well!
Robo Jo-Jo: How many designs do you do usually at once and what was your favorite design so far ? What is your favorite one your doing and any special designs to look out for
Koele Koen:
I combine 2 or 3 designs mostly, so I can keep everyone up to date and catch up with everything. My fav one I've done is Define These Words, it was simple but I really loved working for them. The one that's my fav now must be
the one for Robo Jo-Jo+ a Belgium trash producer whose name I can't tell yet, make sure to check those out when done!
Robo Jo-Jo: Any Advice for Upcoming Artists / DJs / producers / Bands / designers ?
Koele Koen:
Just keep pushing and trying and give everything you have, you will have ups but also downs, just make sure the downs don't hold you back, don’t be shy and ask help and opinions of other artists!
Also important, focus on the people who want to HELP and SUPPORT you, instead of the critics that try to break you down.
Robo Jo-Jo: shout outs ?
Koele Koen:
(twitter) Special shout outs to Mutations Artwork (@mutationsartwrk), Vieze Vincent (@viezevincent) Stephen Bunnell (@cryface) Felix Laflamme (@felixlaflamme) and all my friends,family and clients who supported me and got me where I'm standing today.
Robo Jo-Jo: How did you get into art and designing pictures for all these artist DJ’s and
Koele Koen:
producers and who would you want to do an design for.
I got to work for all these producers because of the support and publicity everyone gave me, they put my work out there and made sure it got noticed.
My ultimate dream is to create something for the Foo Fighters since they are my nr 1 inspiration. But their style is different than my artwork so the chance for that is rather small.
Favorite track:
In Fear And Faith-Your World On Fire

What to you think about Robostep of what it can bring to the scene of dubstep and how does it become what it is and how did you start to make it. ?
Jeulzzz:
I think that Robostep is a very specialist genre. and has been pioneered by datsik and excsion. this is somthing that will never make mainstream which i am very glad about because it will always bee unique. all the bass sounds out of dubstep have a robotic bass which built the foundations of dubstep.... i am a MASSIVE MASSIVE FAN.
Robo Jo-Jo: What is it that you love About dubstep and drumstep music. ?
Jeulzzz:
Just the half time beats with the mental filthy basslines....soooooooo unique. You will never beat it on a scale of professional music...it becomes rather than producer you become a sound engineer as i like to call it. Takes allot of knowledge and skill to make the sounds you get in your head. and that’s what I love about it. It makes you able to open the door to so many possibilities.
