BERT ON BEATS

Bert on Beats features in HARD ASS SESSIONS vol V available from March 28, digital only.

- Lately I was working on my album “Antenna of Tallinn” which is out now on ManRecordings, plus there are a few bootlegs and remixes that I’m always working on. The last remixes i did were for moombathon genius Munchi, Bologna based Dj Farrapo and BandishProject from Mumbai. I’m also producing for local Estonian electropop group HU? and we have another album coming out, so lately it’s been a really busy time for me. At the same time it’s all really interesting as the clash of all these transnational styles inspire me and give me new ideas. – If i remember correctly I was talking with J-Wow about possible B.O.B. track on HAS already before the second or third release, but somehow it didn’t work out. When i got the second proposal to do track for HAS i was once again really excited to produce and be a part of these kind of compilations. – It’s hard to say which kuduro elements inspired be. I can’t even bring out any particular one. I think all the elements in all frequences work for me the same way, but usually if i start doing a track, i start with the drums. I was first doing the drum sequence common to kuduro beat and added bass + few syths. Later i thought it would be more interesting to change the emphasis of the beat. So it sometimes feels like it has some carribean dancehallish moments in it, plus the additional indian flute you might  find there. In my opinion, these additions make the track a really interesting global bass mashup. – 5 songs we can’t stop listening today: TNT – Hot Gyal (Carl Arm remix); Guerilla Speakerz & TheBobbyKillers – Tell yo Momma (dub version); Doctor P – BigBoss (Cam Jus moombahcore remix); Daniel Haaksman – Hands Up (Erick Rinkon remix); Professor ft. Oskido – Jezebel
