FRAGMENT > INTERVIEW: 30DROP

30drop returns, after standing out on his own label 30D Records, as well as others such as Token, Detroit Underground or Hayes Collective. Now he does it with his latest release on 30D Records, 'Insight Into Mind And Space' is the latest full-length project from techno producer and label owner 30drop. It is a collection of 10 tracks previously released on Jeff Mills' Axis labels in digital format. The original albums 'Soroban' and 'Photosynthetic Zone Manifesto' have been released in the years 2020 and 2021 and will now be available on vinyl in a limited edition for the first time.

We have had the pleasure of interviewing him to talk about it and this has been the result.

How would you present your work to someone who doesn't know you? My music is a sound journey that combines elements of science fiction and avant-garde experimentation. I pretend that it is an experience that must be experienced and felt. I like to present my work as a portal to alternate realities, where boundaries are blurred and imagination is free to roam.

Your music has been inspired by science fiction since the beginning, how do you value a present where it seems that science fiction is not as present as it was in the 90s? What do you think this symptom is due to? As for science fiction, it is true that there has been a change in the way it is presented in music today. I think this is due to the evolution of the interests and concerns of society. Science fiction in the 1990s reflected a time of rapid technological advances and futuristic expectations. Today, we are more immersed in technology, which has led to a greater need to reflect on its implications and the challenges we face as humanity.

What led you to create your 30D label and how much do you think it has evolved since its inception? Where is it headed and which artists would you like to unveil? The creation of the label, 30D, was driven by the desire to provide a space for artists who share my musical vision and to explore new sonic territories. Since its inception, it has evolved in terms of reach and the ability to give a voice to emerging and experienced artists. We are moving towards more collaboration and finding new ways to present electronic music.
