Asian Dan Interview: Meroz

1. Who is Meroz?
Musician, Producer, then DJ
I’m not worried about having the “coolest font” or the most “Retro Look” Its more about putting out quality music, be it using a sample or straight raw production.
I’m not letting peoples opinions on what is the new thing persuade me in the style of music
I produce. I make what I am feeling at the moment or what is presented to me.

2. What are your biggest influences? What was your first musical memory?
My Family and Friends, Positive people as well. Good Books, Movies and Art of all kinds.
My First Musical memory would be strapping on a pair of headphones at a very young age trying to sing along to the radio at early hours of the morning. After being put to bed. After Finding out I was terrible at singing I decided to play percussion Instruments.

3. Who are your favorite producers/DJs?
Todd Edwards, Paul Johnson, Daft Punk, Sebastien Leger,Teenage Bad Girl, Neil Landstrumm, Fred Falke, Alan Braxe, Hystereo, Cassius, Air, Phoenix,Frankie Knuckles, Cajmere, Sneak , Rush , Skip, the list is waaaaay to long.
Basically anyone from the early to mid 90’s and the first french touch wave House or Techno.

JFK x frnkcois

JFK from MSTRKRFT is notorious for making his own edits of his fav tracks of DJ buddies of his that he says are heard all over the world every night. He only gives out his edits to his personal DJ friends. A few days ago he posted this edit of Mr. Oizo’s “Gay Dentists” on the famous MSTRKRFT message board, the first time he publicly is sharing an edit of his own. So everyone enjoy! JFK is releasing his own 12″ “Baby Techno” on Institubes soon and frnkcois is apparently working on the artwork.
