Today’s interview is with Triggy, the London based producer pushing the eyes-down sound of dubstep (and more). He’s taken the time to put together a mix showcasing some of his favourite sounds and also gave us his remix of ‘Filth’ by Skream to give away! Read on a learn a little more…
NT: Hey man, can you tell us a little about yourself?
T: My name is Ceiran, 20 years old and I produce under the name 'Triggy'. I've been messing around with music and sound design for roughly 4 years but have only really taken it seriously for the last 2. I also run a monthly studio mix feature entitled 'The Labyrinth Mix'.
NT: Have you always produced the sub-heavy, “eyes-down” strain of dubstep, or do you work on a variety of sounds? What drew you towards producing in this style?
T: No not at all, I'm really open minded with music and I've got a string of other styles that I produce, my tracks with PBMR are always completely different to the last and I dunno who else is making that sort of sound, I've just finished a track with a producer called Rofh which has a more Addison Groove/Boddika feel to it, I'm very very experimental with my tracks. These tracks just take a little longer to see the light of day as it's hard for me to feel fully satisfied with them and I'm pretty critical of my work. The darker deeper 'eyes-down' sound will always be my main area though, The fact that there is so much you can do with it, for me it's very emotionally driven, There's so much depth and character in certain tracks that you can really connect with the tracks and it can really change the mood your in (if that makes sense?). Its the same with any track of any genre for me, I need to feel something for me to enjoy it, and this style does that perfectly.
