Today we have an interview with Toronto Is Broken, a producer and part of the duo behind Dual Signal Records (which if you don’t know yet, I recommend checking out immediately, especially if you love free music). He’s also included a guest mix, so you can check that out too. Read on...
NT: Hey, can you tell us a little bit more about yourself?
TIB: Hi, I'm Christian Hoffmann, otherwise known as Toronto Is Broken, and co-owner of Dual Signal Records. I'm 18 and produce Drum & Bass, Dubstep and Future Garage. I come from a little village called Barwell in Leicestershire, that could be even more smack bang in the middle of the UK if it tried. I've also featured on BBC Radio 1Xtra, done various mixes and interviews for places such as Knowledge Magazine and Phuture Frequency Podcast.
NT: First off, a few questions about Dual Signal. What was the driving force behind starting a label of your own?
TIB: Basically, me and Steve (Kynch), who I run the label with had known each other for a while and one day I came up with the crazy idea to start a record label, somewhere where we can officially release our material, as opposed to self releasing on your Soundcloud page or promoting a Mediafire download link. At the time I was also finishing up my album "Reboot" and that basically kick started us off.
