Drop the Lime
		Interview - What was the direct influence to give you the idea of making breakcore tunes? What kind of music roots you have? D: I grew up on punk and hardcore, played guitar and sang in bands influenced by stuff like sonic youth, fugazi, and quicksand.. and then got into hip hop and then got into electronic music. around the same time i started going to rave parties, i began producing jungle and drum & bass. a lot of my early vocal stuff was highly influenced by bands like underworld. i am talking no computers. straight up sp 202 sampler and a tascam four track. bass lines id make on a shitty radioshack keyboard by tuning down and distorting the flute oboe and cello sounds. eventually i got a drum machine, and began making full songs.

		I guess what got me into breakcore was the energy of jungle and drum & bass. the sounds of the fills in jungle like early hype tracks and omni trio blew my mind. i wanted to make music that was massive fills and high tensions releases throughout the whole song. thats what got me into breakcore. - Do you have any political policy or emotional concept for your tunes? If you have any particular concept for making Breakcore, please tell us. D: i have a more emotional connection with my music than political. when i make electronic music, i am using it as tool for expressing anger, happiness, sadness... President Bush is a monster, a conniving little sprout monkey, an d i would much rather keep my music separate in every possible way from my dislike for his politics.

		when i make breakcore i think more about abstract thoughts. dimensions breaking apart in space, chaos on the dancefloor, buildings exploding, nature growing in irregular patterns and apply it to my music. when i make breakcore it is not either political or emotional, it is completely different from the album material and club music i produce. - Do you think that is there any relation among situation of world today and Breakcore music’s rapid growing? Please write your thinking. D: I think many artists who are labeled breakcore are political and compare punk rock's early rising days to the early days of breakcore. Youtube : Drop The Lime - E Lock

We all owe this to the pioneers of the sound though - shizuo, dj scud, patric catani, aphasic,... they had the rawest punk rock attitude going on in their tunes. also because they were making "breakcore" before it ever existed as a section in your record shop. The scene is definitely growing, but i think thats why i began to start experimenting with other styles of electronic music. like dubstep and grime, techno and house. its not so underground anymore, so you may as well combine elements of everything surrounding you.. thats how new scenes evolve.. and im searching for something new at the moment. - How do you expect the future of Breakcore scene? Do you think you are still composing Breakcore tunes after 10 years later? D: no. i think that we all need to push forward. keep evolving your style and sound, otherwise you can get stuck in one mindframe, and lost in your own creative process. start repeating and mimicking yourself. constantly exposing yourself to different stimuli and new surroundings, will always keep you fresh in the game. i deifnitely will not be making breakcore ten years from now. in fact, am i really making it anymore now? - Which artists do you respect in Breakcore scene? And why? like the pioneers i mentioned before, no artists labeled as breakcore would exist today without any early Ambush / DHR and Kool Pop release. Some of my favorite artists today are those pushing the limits of speed and energy with top production. Rotator is definitely on a whole new level of sound explosion, from his Mr. Kill to Black Ham projects. he's got some of the tightest welll produced music ive heard at the moment. Stuff like Vex'd is mind blowing too, because its grime but definitely on the "breakcore" aggressive side of sound. same goes for Mathhead, Starkey from the US and Atki 2 from Bristol. Heavy heavy bass, and offkiltering beats that use slow as a tool versus fast. Then artists like kid606 and knifehandchop have hit us with some of the most slamming breakcore and now onto something completely new, that is just as slamming. Duran Duran Duran has always been a favorite of mine, because of his "fuck you i dont care" attitude and humor in bloody distorted beats. those are the artists i respect right now. theres a million more, but off the top of my head...yeah
