For the People who don't know you, who, where and what is Clandestine?
Clandestine is a collaboration between Art and Ilya, two Russian guys living in the States. We focus mainly on breakbeat, although we've been expirementing with dubstep a bit as well. Our first track ever was made back in 2000 and it was Trance ;-)
How long have you been making music, and what made you start producing Breakbeat?
We've been dabbling in music production casually since 2000. Initially we started messing around with Fruity Loops, as well as mixing in software using Virtual Turntables. We eventually switched over to Logic, but a hard drive crash resulted in us losing all of our work. It took us quite a while to get back into production after that devastating loss.
Our first official release was in 2010, when our remix of Aeron Aether - Twilight was selected as one of the winning remixes of the Twilight competition, this was the year we got into production more seriously. Breaks has always been the dominant genre in our playlists and dj sets, so we naturally decided to join the breakbeat culture.
Tell us a bit about your background outside of music?
We are both working professionals in our 20s. Art works in the automotive industry. Ilya is an engineer. Aside from music, we both love working with computers and electronics, as well as working on our cars. We recently installed some mods on Ilya's Nissan, as well as an audio system. We're also into video games, especially first person shooters.
What other productions can we expect from you in the future?
We're currently working on remixes for RUNE, and V.I.M. Records. Also, we have a couple of original tracks in the works for our upcoming RUNE EP, and a remix on the upcoming track from Phrakture. Check out our Soundcloud page for previews, recent mixed sets, and any other goodies coming out soon.
What is your studio set-up and what is your favorite piece of kit?
We use two custom built Macs running Logic Studio 9 with an extensive list of software instruments and effect plug-ins and a few pieces of hardware. Our favorite piece of kit is the Novation Ultranova given its ease of use and fun factor.
Name 3 tunes that is blowing you away at the moment?
Ehh.. That's difficult.. So much good music out there these days. Alright... 3 tunes that are blowing us away at this time are:
Trifonic - GutterBox
Shoutlive - Velveteen Rabbit
Mesmer - For Ef Sake
Final word....
We're very thankful to all our fans, and for all the recognition we have gotten so far. We love doing what we do and hope to continue to be part of the wonderful scene of breakbeat and electronic music. Thanks for the interview!
