“So the vinyl-only series came about when Sanjay Bults lived in a room in my house for a couple of months. He is a good friend of mine and also happens to be a video/ photographer. One day we were just thinking about a project we could do that would be nice for both of us.
Neither of us had ever recorded a set with video, so we thought, “Let’s do it! To make it a bit more fun to watch we came up with the idea of making it a vinyl-only set”.
THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE
As Berg gears up for his upcoming release on Squid Recordings, the excitement is palpable. This isn’t just another EP; it’s a sonic manifesto, a fusion of beats and melodies that defy genres and expectations. And with his vinyl-only series gaining momentum, the future looks brighter than ever maestro.
for this musical
“There was not a specific creative process behind any of the tracks on this EP. The first track is a collabora- tion with my friend Mat Gusty. Other tracks on the EP are tracks I made when I was using the MPC 2000xl, all sampled directly from vinyl into the MPC. The last track on the EP is a nice hip-hop-style beat that I made, which I think is a nice closing track for the EP”.
“It was not really about making music that could all fit together on an EP, it was more about just making what I was feeling that day. I think that is something you can hear on this EP as all the vibes of the tracks are diffe- rent”.
Benjamin Berg’s journey is a testament to the power of passion, curiosity, and creative exploration. In a world filled with sounds, he’s found his voice, and it resonates with the soul of every listener who dares to dream in beats and melodies.
