I LOVE shambhala so much! Still goes down as one of my absolute favourites in the whole world, and thanks for coming to my set! The band is going to be touring in 2017, and we're also making some specific new Opiuo Band music to tickle your ear holes... Cant wait to come to Van in Oct :)

Had so much fun making clumpy cider! & the colab with Griz is still happening, we just got a little bit busy for a moment ;)

Stoked to finally be on Reddit :) I've been lucky enough to tour the world a fair few times over, something I could only dream of 6 years ago, so choosing a favourite place is pretty much impossible. As I grow and change different places have different affects on me. I remember my very first burning man though as quite possibly the most insane experience of my life. It truly changed me forever. I arrived into USA for the first time 2 days before and went out to the desert. I'll never forget that.

As far as colabs and musicians go, Gift Of Gab goes down as one of those dream moments. I've listened to Blackalicious for YEARS, and when my manager asked who was at the top of my list for I wanted on the track, I said Gab. So we reached out, and he was into it. I couldnt believe it. I was so fucking stoked!

Re festivals: These days its harder and harder to stay and enjoy them as Im often doing a couple in a weekend, but I used to have more time to stay and hang out. Shambhala, Rainbow Serpent, & Glastonbury spring to mind when I think of those savoured experiences.

Yeah just spending days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days fucking around... ;)

I appreciate your honesty. One thing I love about music is it is completely subjective. What makes one person love you more, could do the opposite to another. we all grow at different speeds, and in different directions from each other. To have moments when we are on the same plain at the same time is super special. As an artist I never want to do anything twice, I want to continue to push myself to try new things, and the only way I'll ever know what works is to give it a go. I dont believe the production is a step back at all, its a step forward if you ask me, trying new sounds and continuing to challenge who I am as an artist. I feel lucky enough to be in a positive position to try any sound or genre I want due to the amazing group of fans I have. Who knows whats next... :)
