Robo Jo-Jo Exclusive Interview - Dizelkraft Interview


Robo Jo-Jo: So tell us who Dizelfraft is Where do you come from and how old are you guys and when did you start producing Electro/ Electro House/ Nu Rave / Moombahcore/ Dubstep/ Electronica music?

Dizelkraft: Dizelkraft - is a band of 2 boys (Alex and Michael) from Ukraine, Simferopol. As a full-fledged project we create music exactly one year.
Michael 17, and Alex - 20. Michael (Misha) began making music at age 12, and Alex, from 13.
Misha created music under the moniker Rust Blast, and before he met with Alex did not show it to anyone. Alex has already created at that time and Trash Electro Punk Electro tracks (like Misha) and helped Misha produced in free collections Brain Killer, who created man by the name of "Maste" (now he is the manager Reversar).
Alex originally created the popular commercial electro house, but he was tired of this music and it was set up in 2010 with the trash, death, electro tracks themselves to Ailextoro.

Robo Jo-Jo: How old were you guys when Dizelkraft became influenced by the music you guys enjoy?

Dizelkraft: We came under the influence of thrash music in 2010. Misha was 14, and Alex - 17.

Robo Jo-Jo:  Where did you get the name Dizelfraft from and what is the meaning of your name?

Dizelkraft: As for the name of our diesel gang, we chose the name for a long time. Even when the first tracks were created, we do not know how we were called. We chose nicknames for about 2 months. Among the interesting options should be made a little:
- Drive \ n \ Roses
- Dizelhard.
But we have chosen "Dizelkraft", so as it displays all the aggression and drive and emotion, the power of the music in a capacious word. With our privacy policy German name means "Powerful diesel."

Robo Jo-Jo: When did you guys find out about Electro music ? and what do you think
how it will be in the next year and how it will sound like?

Dizelkraft: Ahaha, it's a little weird, but we were both dragged at one time from Benny Benassi - Satisfaction. This track is still for us than what the standard of brutality and power. To be honest, at that time, it was cool. Now the music has slipped into a cesspool. So, like all good musicians began to copy the same sound as in Skrila and Knife Party. We think as long as someone else will be popular this sound will annoy everyone. People need to show something different, something new and brutal ...

Robo Jo-Jo: What do you do when you guys produce your music in the recording studio how long does it take you to finish your productions?

Dizelkraft: Let's start with the fact that we do not have a recording studio, we live far removed from each other and see each other every 2-3 months. The entire process takes place remote from each other. Alex has studio, but she is not ready for operation. Work on the track can last week (1616) or 3 months (Revenge is Sweet). It all depends on inspiration.

Robo Jo-Jo: What do you guys like to have in hand what do you see inside the production you are working on and how do you think its going to turn out and how do you get such awesome hard bassline synth sounds?

Dizelkraft: We do not have good equipment ... in fact we have no audio equipment is not. We have ears, hands and an old laptop with cheap headphones for $ 10. Everything we do, we do without a third-party resource - themselves. If we had had at least some good speakers, then, would the quality of our tracks have been better. We dream of playing totally live with guitars. That would be really cool! But we do not have enough money to buy such equipment. For our bass lines we use plug-ins based on FM synthesis. Basically we have enough standard synthesizers FL Studio.

Robo Jo-Jo: What is Dizelkraft fav sound you guys make and made How do you guys create your basslines with your drums so well?

Dizelkraft: We have no favorite sound. We are committed to diversity. As for drums and bass lines, I will say one thing - use the standard resources FL Studio to the maximum and do not be afraid to be original and make a sound unusual. But everything else - our little secret :)

Robo Jo-Jo: What is Dizelkraft studio set up what Software / Hardware do you use and which piece of Technology is your favourite in your studio?

Dizelkraft: Asus A 52J with FL Studio 10 and headphones Koss Pathfinder – its all our tech equipment.

Robo Jo-Jo: Where do you guys see Dizelkraft in 10 years from now and what will be the future genre for Electronica music?

Dizelkraft: We do not like to think ahead. Let's just say that we will try to do a good drive and music, something to our children not to be ashamed of their fathers.

Robo Jo-Jo: If Dizelkraft could collab with anyone who would it be and tour with and what producer/artist/musician would you want to meet and who is your fav producer/producers of all time and now and days?

Dizelkraft: We look forward to working with any musician who writes good heavy electronic music 

Robo Jo-Jo: What is Dizelkraft favourite thing to eat and drink?

Dizelkraft: Well, we both love the dumplings with potatoes :)) And we drink mostly soft drinks or Fanta x)

Robo Jo-Jo: What do you guys think of all these other genres of music coming out
like Trap music and Moombahcore from them being influenced from Dubstep and Electro music?

Dizelkraft: We hate TRAP. Moombahcore we also do not much like, we are more like Glitch Hop.

Robo Jo-Jo: What Medium Do You Prefer Vinyl / MP3 And Why?

Dizelkraft: We prefer WAV and FLAC. MP3 – kills more low frequencies. But vinyl – is the best!

Robo Jo-Jo: What is your guys all time fav band and if you got to do an productions with them what style would you like to it as?

Dizelkraft: We do not follow trends and do not try to copy someone else's style. We try sdealat their sound. For example, something to the listener who does not know our new tracks, just hearing them once said that it Dizelkraft. But we have affected the atmosphere Prodigy tracks, Noisia and Mantis tracks.

Robo Jo-Jo: What is Dizelkraft top 5 Favorite Movies?

Dizelkraft: Oh! This is a difficult question! :)) We love all of Silent Hill, Star Wars and Iron Man.

Robo Jo-Jo:  Any New Releases That The Listeners Should Look Out For and when to expect some new productions?

Dizelkraft: Will EP of 6 tracks at the end of summer (3 tracks and 3 remixes). And in the winter will be a new album, a possible on Reversar.

Robo Jo-Jo:  Shout outs ?

Dizelkraft: No, it will be a surprise for the audience.

Robo Jo-Jo: Any Advice for Upcoming Artists / DJs / producers?

Dizelkraft: Do not be afraid to create unusual sounds, be unique and modest. Do not create music without meaning and ideas.

Robo Jo-Jo: What is your guys favorite production or and remix that you have produced or producing?

Dizelkraft:We think that is “Fonik - Mayan Apocalypse (Dizelkraft remix)”

Robo Jo-Jo: How is the scene in your guys city and what was the biggest best show you have DJ live at?

Dizelkraft: You might be surprised, but we did not play anywhere.

Robo Jo-Jo: Will you guys ever go on tour and if so where would you like to play what cities countries would you like to hit up and play live at?

Dizelkraft: We received suggestions for parties of France and the United States, but carried no money for such trips and tours. We also have a problem with visas to Europe. We would do the same in the future would like to have tours in Belgium, Australia, Brazil and Canada.

Robo Jo-Jo: That is great! to know that would be so sick! if you guys come to Canada we can maybe do a show together haha. 

Robo Jo-Jo: How dose Dizelkraft get there ideas from whats the sickest idea you guys have done and any new ideas for your guys newest productions Dizelkraft will be working on?

Dizelkraft: We take ideas from everywhere. From movies to downstream philosophy concepts Cyberpunk, Dizelpank and Horror. For some tracks ideas are historical events, as in "1616." Some ideas about the earth's pain and suffering, revenge, lust and sins of mankind.
We believe that music should be something to give to people. Be it a drive and brutality or emotion and philosophy. If the music does not contain any ideas or plot - the music is dead.
.
Robo Jo-Jo: Do you guys know of how to play any other instruments and what is Dizelkraft fav instruments to hear and if you could play an instrument you don't know what would it be?

Dizelkraft: No, but we really want to learn how to play on electric guitar.

Robo Jo-Jo: What's your guys favorite genre of music and if you could invent one what would it sound like?

Dizelkraft:We like: Deathcore/Deathstep and Death Electro.
 
Robo Jo-Jo: What is Dieselkraft dream set up for a studio and a live set up?

Dizelkraft: As we said earlier, we have no equipment. To start, we just need a good studio speakers and microphones.

Robo Jo-Jo: What would your guys dream record label to get signed with would be?

Dizelkraft: We do not aspire to be as popular as DJ Antention or Cyberpunkers. We believe that it is necessary to develop native label that released our Zorn LP - Reversar.


Thank you Dizelkraft for taking the time for doing this awesome interview. Looking forword to your guys upcoming productions and big ups and thanks for being such great producers and artist mad respect. Cant wait to see what the future will be like for Dizelkraft and bring to all of us out there.

Robo Jo-Jo Exclusive Interview - Plasmatic Interview



Robo Jo-Jo: So tell us who Plasmatic is Where do you come from and how old are you and when did you start producing Dubstep / Robostep / Drumstep music?

Plasmatic: Well my name is Brandon and I'm from the eastern part of Kentucky, USA. I'm 23 and I started producing around 2 years ago.

Robo Jo-Jo: How old were you when you became influenced by the music you enjoy?

Plasmatic: I became influenced by influenced by metal at a very young age. First music I ever really listened to was Metallica's Black Album on cassette tape when I was around 4 or 5 years old. Was hooked on music from there on. Then as I got older I branched out into the different genres of rock an metal and eventually got into punk music. However, one day as I was watching toonami and they were playing clips of Daft Punks "Interstella 5555" and that was my first time hearing electronic music. My mind was blown and I just had to learn more about it.

Robo Jo-Jo: Where did you get the name Plasmatic from and what is the meaning of your name?

Plasmatic: The name was kind of a spare of the moment idea. I was previously going by Mothra but found out there was another one so I had to change name to avoid stepping on anyones toes. So I was laying in bed thinking of endless words and variations to add till I came up with Plasmatic. Not the coolest way to land on a name but it works for me.

Robo Jo-Jo: When did you find out about Dubstep/Robostep music ? and what do you think how it will be in the next year and how it will sound like will it still be the same?

Plasmatic: I heard dustup about 2-3 years ago. My friends showed me some Cookie Monsta and Cragga. I was completely attracted to its style because it was something so different and so raw. As far as the future of dubstep goes, I see it going no where but up. A lot of new producers are bringing more and more to the table and setting the bar higher and higher.

Robo Jo-Jo: What do you do when you produce your music in the recording studio how long does it take you to finish your productions?

Plasmatic: I usually try to find a sample and/or samples I want to use for the track first. After that I usually move on to drums and sub bass. Finally I go in and add my synths so they fit with the drums and sub. It varies on the type of track I'm trying to create, some take a day or two if I'm really into it, sometimes it takes a few months. All depends on what I'm trying to create.

Robo Jo-Jo: What do you like to have in hand what do you see inside the production you are working on and how do you think its going to turn out and how do you get such awesome tricky drums and effects synth sounds?

Plasmatic: I usually put my emotions in my productions, for most people that would be hard to see in dubstep but if I'm having a day or period of my life where I'm excited and in a good place I will make some drumstep or something upbeat. If I'm in a chill mood I'll make some some deep dirty dubstep and if I'm just angry or mad I'll go in an make something heavy and hard hitting. As far as tricks for drums, I just look back to when I drummed for bands and think of what I would do on an actual kit and try to replicate it with the track. And for synths I just experiment with effects and try to make sounds that I like to hear. The best advice I can give to other artists that are just learning would be 2 things, experiment a lot and get Effectrix!

Robo Jo-Jo: How long did it to make Zealot and Zealot VIP how did you get such awesome sliceing Robotic bass sounds in there and put it all together so well?

Plasmatic: Zealot took a bit of time because I had other things going on and I really wanted to try an make something different from my norm and push myself into a new direction so it was pretty tough. The VIP didn't take as long because I already had a good idea on what I wanted to do when I was doing the original. To get the robotic sounds I used I just experimented and like I said earlier thats the most important thing to do. I would spend hours on sound design alone for the synths and how I wanted them to work and compliment each other.

Robo Jo-Jo: What do you do when you produce your music in the recording studio how long does it take you to finish your productions?

Plasmatic: I basically smoke a bunch of cigarettes and try to come up with synths and ways to use them in a track. Once I have some synths that I'm really excited about I'll start a new track and go from there. It all depends on how I feel about the track, if I'm feelin it, can take only a few days to get it organized the way I want and then begin mixing.

Robo Jo-Jo: If you could collab with anyone who would it be and tour with and what
producer/artist/musician would you want to meet and who is your fav producer of all time and now and days?

Plasmatic: There are a lot of producers I would love to collab with but I would have to say I would be stoked to collab with Getter. He has really stepped his game up in the last 6 months and I've always been a follower of his. I would love to tour with either Getter or Mantis because they both are huge influences of the direction I'm going in now. If I could meet and producer, I would definitely have to say I would go with Culprate. He is an amazing producer and musician. My favorite artist at the moment is Getter hands down. His new LP "I want more" is completely amazing and I encourage any dubstep fans to grab a copy!

Robo Jo-Jo: What is your favourite thing to eat and drink?
Plasmatic: Pizza and Coca-Cola for sure.

Robo Jo-Jo: What is your top 5 Favorite Movies?

Plasmatic: Ok this in no certain order but Dr. No, Skyfall, Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, Robo Cop and any Friday 13th movie.

Robo Jo-Jo: What do you think of this Trap music coming out and everyone that makes it. You think it should stop or it will it still be very big like it is and will you ever think about making it?

Plasmatic: Well I'm a huge fan because I made trap music years and years ago when I first started producing. I was a huge fan of artists like Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane so I started out making trap music and I plan to make some very soon. I feel like people should make the stuff they like to hear.

Robo Jo-Jo: What Medium Do You Prefer Vinyl / MP3 And Why?

Plasmatic: I love vinyl records but in this time with ipods and all the new technology I prefer to use mp3s.

Robo Jo-Jo: What is it that you love About dubstep and Robostep and all the sub genres of dubstep music?

Plasmatic: What I love about dubstep is the energy it brings. I love how an awesome drop can literally make a whole dance floor go nuts.

Robo Jo-Jo: What is your all time fav band and if you got to do an productions with them what style would you like to it as?

Plasmatic: Well I can't land on a specific band to be my favorite because I love a lot of bands, however I would love to work with Between the Buried and Me and make some serious deathstep.

Robo Jo-Jo: Any New Releases That The Listeners Should Look Out For and when to expect some new productions?

Plasmatic: Yes, I have a couple of tracks in the progress right now that are going to be a big step up from me. I've been putting a lot of work into these and trying to make them the hardest tunes I've ever put out. Clips will be up soon, very soon. Also be on the look out for my KLRGRM remix!

Robo Jo-Jo: Any Advice for Upcoming Artists / DJs / producers?

Plasmatic: The best advice I can give is to create stuff that you would listen to. Don't get caught up in trying make things that people will like because public opinion is constantly changing and when you make something that is real, people will notice. Also just have fun and experiment, try to craft your own style and sounds and people will notice!

Robo Jo-Jo: Shout outs ?

Plasmatic: I would like to give a shout out to my friend Veltix, he has been there for me from the get go and has really helped me a lot with producing in general. I would also like to give a shout out to you guys for giving me a chance to talk about my music. Shout out to all my close friends and they know who they are, and to my family for being so supportive of what I'm doing. And most importantly the fans of my work and the people who truly follow the things I do. Big ups!!!

Robo Jo-Jo: What is your favorite production that you have produced or producing?

Plasmatic: I would have to say either my remix of KLRGRM's "Shick" or my new original Bloodshed. Both tracks have new sounds and styles and I'm anxious to show everyone!

Robo Jo-Jo: How is the scene in your city and what was the biggest best show you have DJ live at?

Plasmatic: Well I live in a smaller community so there's really not a scene here, but I have to say playing house shows have been really fun for me!

Robo Jo-Jo: Do you know of how to play any other instruments and what is your fav instruments to hear and see and if you could play an intrument you dont know what would it be?

Plasmatic: I've played drums a good portion of my life. I also play a bit of guitar, bass and piano. If I could improve on any of them it would be piano. I love the sound of a beautiful Grand Piano.

Robo Jo-Jo: What’s your favorite genre of music and do you do any other things with music?

Plasmatic: My favorite genre would have to all variations of metal. I also love post hardcore music and punk. I use to play in some bands and we did some post hardcore music and it was a lot of fun and it was awesome because I had my best friends as band mates and we really helped each other musically.

Robo Jo-Jo: What is dream set up for an studio and a live set up?

Plasmatic: My dream studio would be one that had a lot of live instruments. I'm a huge fan of orchestrated music as well as jazzy brass sections. So I would really like to have a studio that I could sort of replicate that and also have people come in to record live stuff like that. As far as live set up, virtually anything would work with me as long as the crowd is having a good time!

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? and if you could have your dream set up for an studio and a live set up what would that set up be?

Plasmatic: Abelton Live and my trusty mouse are all I use. I have quite a few plugins as well but I won't go into that. I use to be a huge fan of Fruity Loops till I got hooked on Abelton. I recommend Abelton to any producer because its a fairly simple and has a very clean setup.

Robo Jo-Jo: Will you ever make an electro production if so why if not why not and if you could tour and do a show anywhere in the world where would that be?

Plasmatic: I like electro however, I don't think I will ever make any under Plasmatic. Maybe under another alias? ; ) We will have to see. Personally I would love to play anywhere in England or Australia. Both are countries I've always wanted to visit plus I hear the scene there is crazy!



Thank you Plasmatic very much for doing this interview and taking the time doinf it. Awesome interview big ups! and all your new tracks sound like there going to be something new. Cant wait to see what the future will be like for you and bring to all of us out there. Cheers!! much respect big thanks!.
