Today we've got an interview with the San Francisco based producer Specters, who also brings a seriously deep and dark guest mix along with him.
NT: Hey man, can you give us an introduction?
S: Well my name is Tyler Scully and produce under the name Specters. I've been producing music for about 6 years now but was in bands most my teen years. I basically try and make dark bass music whether that's dubstep, garage, hip hop, etc it's all about just getting those emotions and atmosphere into the music.
NT: As someone based pretty far away from the roots of the scene, how did you first get into the garage/dubstep sounds you produce today?
S: Yeah it's kinda funny since I was all about Noise music, which is probably the furtherest thing away from dance music ever. When Dubstep Allstars Vol. 3 came out my friend got it and showed me when we were going to a Noise show I was playing. I was just blown away by Kode 9 and Spaceape…how dark, emotional, and atmospheric it was. It really resonated with me, it sounded like Noise music with a half beat to it. Since I got into Dubstep at that time it was 2006 and the sound was still very Garage-y and Dubby, so naturally I went backwards into the roots and got into Garage and everything else. So nowadays I've just been going back to that root sound and trying to recapture that atmosphere.
