Dillon Francis: "Trap is basically minimal dubstep to me"

/

From Lessthan3's interview with Dillon Francis:

"Trap is basically minimal dubstep to me. I’ve always been into minimal house, and there aren’t a lot of kids who are. In a similar way, it takes away all the high screeches and just lets the listener groove...RL Grime, Flosstradamus, and Baauer are really the guys pushing the sound right now, but I see it going in a more Jersey/Baltimore club direction with guys like DJ Sliink in the future. I expect more techy sounds too, with more bleepy, EDM-type influences."

Very funny interview, check out the rest of it here.

From an interview conducted by Lessthan3:

"I work with two computers that are linked via ethernet cable. One runs Traktor, which is the master clock, and one runs Ableton. I'm using an Allen & Heath Xone:92 with sends and returns, so I have four channels coming out of Traktor. I have Maschine running as a plugin in Ableton, and I control that with another controller. And I have the internal effects of Ableton running, as well as external effects via Traktor. It's all automatically synced, and some people try to give me sh*t about it, but it has to be for the way I play."

Who cares about beat matching when DJs have this at their disposal.
