The philosophy MCR-T shares—”Be. Live in the Mo- ment. Feel everything. Embrace Failure to deserve Suc- cess.”—resonates with the ethos of an era that lived outside mainstream norms. It’s all about the process, the struggle, and the resilience to keep going despite setbacks. There’s something really inspiring about the idea of embracing failure as a necessary step towards growth and success. It’s a mindset that champions perseverance and authenticity over perfection and success measured by external standards.
MUSICAL GENE-CROSSING & PRO- DUCTION STYLE
Your sound isn’t just a mix of genres—it’s a statement, a rejection of rigid categories in dance music. But… What’s the message behind blending all these genres?
First and foremost it’s a show of force. Every Song has different genres and to my ear compatible elements of genres combined with each other. I usually don’t plan these combinations; they happen in the production process and are improvised on the spot.
For Example. Combining the Industrial EBM Sound with something heavy and distorted such as the Growling Voice of a Screamo or Death Metal track , seemed su- per plausible and fitting to my ears. Also no one has ever done it like that so im willing to claim territories as much as i can in pushing boundaries.
It’s a statement saying that I am willing and able to combine the elements of my Musical patchwork bac- kground and make something original without losing my sense of identity. MCR-T is not a persona. It’s me. The Message is - I LOVE SOUND. Nothing is Black and White. I can be a Rapper and Producer that unders- tands Electronic Music enough to become a DJ and then combine all these elements to become a Musician.
I want to be identified as an Artist. Not as a Producer , DJ , Rapper - no the full Deal - no Bullshit ! A fully fledged Artist.
This statement from MCR-T really showcases his una- pologetic, genre-defying approach to music. His blend of different genres—whether it’s industrial EBM with death metal growls or combining hip hop with electro- nic music—isn’t just for experimentation; it’s a delibe- rate act of rebellion against the conventional norms of the music industry. The message behind blending these genres is clear: he’s pushing boundaries and challenging the idea that music should be confined to any one category. By mixing so many sounds, he’s de- monstrating that creativity doesn’t have to fit neatly into boxes. The key takeaway is his passion for sound itself—he’s not concerned with genre labels, but with the ability to make something fresh and original from his diverse musical influences.
On NOT THE SAME ≠, he pushed himself as a producer, rapper, and singer. A process that made him learn so much about himself, and about the craft.
I learned that being able to actually feel and go through certain chapters of your life really adds to the authen- ticity of your Song. It’s in a sense almost like a Method Act. Feeling is being. Leaving the comfort Zone is ac- tually reporting on what is going on with you internally.
