Steppas Choice 74: Unfinished & C4TR
A long time ago I did an Interview with Unfinished. And this is the perfect occasion to post it! So here we go for the second interview on steppaschoice.blogspot.com

• Name:

Unfinished

• Representing:

Nur sound

• Based / Home?

Bern, Switzerland

• How did you get into music?

I don’t really know how I got into it, but I sure can’t find a way out. I’ve listened to a lot of different types of music over the years and can’t stop myself from looking for fresh and exciting stuff.

• What’s your story?

I got a couple chapters written so far; don’t really know where it’s going to lead. A lot of threads have been spun, plots and subplots woven, but the final pattern isn’t totally clear to see yet. I’m sure there’s a couple of surprises around the corner though.

• How long have you been producing music?

I think I started more intensively playing around with production software in 2000 or 2001. I was mostly doing stuff somewhere between reggae and Hip Hop then. I started working on some Dubstep inspired stuff in summer 2006.

• How long have you been djing?

The first time I got in contact with djing at all was in 95 when I got into some techno, I was 13 then. A mate and me each saved up the money for one belt-drive deck each plus a cheap mixer and we were rolling. That stuff only kept me fascinated for about two years. I liked mixing, but didn’t really know the music to keep me going with and I turned to playing more guitar and listening to more rock and all kinds of stuff.
In 2000 I think I started buying vinyl again, now mostly Hip Hop, some reggae, but also some downbeatish things, some jungle, broken beats, a little 2-step, blues, jazz… whatever music I liked. In March 2006 I ran into Dubstep and it did a lot for me somehow. It’s just all the music I like brought into one thing that just twists and turns all through you while you’re dancing. I just love mixing that stuff more than any other music, because it has so many different faces and shapes. Also, through that sound, I got to meet a lot of awesome people who have been extremely important to me over the last two years and have helped me a lot, you know who you are.

• Biggest tune so far?

Hm, many… among them something by Jimi Hendrix, by Björk and by Bob Marley. Keith Jarrett’s Köln Concert, Mala – Blue Notez… oh and Skream – Bahl Fwd

• What inspires or influences you?

Nothing doesn’t

• What track would you most like to have written?

Some crappy pop song earning me lots of royalties making more of the good stuff possible maybe. Or maybe not.

• Who is your favourite DJ / Producer and why?

Can’t name just one, sorry.

• Who has been the most supportive of you or your production?

Your mama, haha. No seriously, thank you for your support C4TR, and thank you Swiss Dubstep massive and my flatmates JA!

• Weapon of Choice:

Vinyl (Sound waves would be nice too, but I thought of vinyl first, so…)

• What event would you most like to play at and why?

fwd> because that’s where I heard it for real, on system for the first time. Or some weird little outdoors rave somewhere in summer with a big system. Basically any big system is great, because of its bigness.

• What’s been the most memorable experience of your career so far?

Hahaha carreer haha, no seriously, I guess seeing the Video of the Kommando Trash gig must be it.

• What is this Kommando Trash sideproject of yours?

Kommando Trash is actually not my project, I did some additional production on their third album Bimml’s Not Dead Ja! and on the first Ze Groupies album. Kommando Trash was actually founded by Flat Fredrik from east west Germany and 70’s Pornstar Pavid Didler. Back in 1987, when I did that stuff on Bimml’s Not Dead Ja! I was only 5 years old, it was quite an experience…
A lot of information on Kommando Trash can be found on
Bimmele Homepage JA!
Bimmele on Virb
Spiegelkiste on Blogspot
JA!

• Proudest moment to date:

Poo on the potty on my own for the first time. Nothing beats that!

• What’s your poison?

One is sticky and green. Another is cute and female. But I guess whatever makes you want too much can become poisonous.

• What’s your ideal night out?

Good, friendly people and big bass. Or tons of drinks in some bar without a name on a Tuesday for no reason at all.

• What’s the best studio advice you’ve been given?

Don’t make stuff go into the red.

• What’s your best studio advice?

Do what you feel.

• What’s next for you?

Going to the see the dentist. I wanna make more beats definitely and play out a bit. And work, make some money. Oh yeah I’m also working on some tunes on my guitar.

• What does the future hold?

Only the future knows.

• What’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear the following words:

Green: Pink
Blue: Blues
Pink: Green
Yellow: The Sun
Black: Hole Sun, by Soundgarden, I liked that track…

• Famous last words?

I think that’s long enough. Big up C4TR!
