tweet about how pissed off I am about it then I realise afterwards that it makes no difference. If I don't like a song I'm hearing I tend to. OK, please finish these sentences with the first thing that comes to your head. I say a word, you tell me the first thing that comes to your mind. What's currently in your DVD/Bluray/film player of choice? Probably wont use them in conjunction with each other. I’d buy a planet followed by a Sunseeker predator 130 super yacht. If you had an infinite supply of money, and you were obliged by law to buy at least one pointlessly extravagant thing a week, what is the first expensive and ridiculous thing you'd buy? If you had to go into unarmed hand to hand combat with the following, which animal would you prefer to fight: an adult brown bear or an Australian saltwater crocodile?īrown bear would be fun, I suppose it depends if you want to be mauled by claws or ripped apart by teeth. If you had to live on one kind of food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Gemini's twin brother who smiles constantly on every photo and is super happy. If you could be anyone else (fictional or real, living or dead), other than yourself who would you be? I’d love to collaborate with Brian Transeau (BT), incredible artist. To name a few current – KOAN Sound, Feed Me, Ed Sheeran and Example. From composers to electronic superstar acts. Yeah I’m constantly pissed off, that’s just how I roll. Is this your look or is something making you mad? In the pictures I've seen of you, you often look a bit pissed off. What three things can you not live without on tour?Īpple Macbook Pro, steak and my Apogee One. I try to express a story through each and every track I produce to do this in the form of an album would be a open a whole new chapter in my career.
What's next for you? Where do you eventually plan to take your career?Īt this current moment in time I’m contemplating the idea of an album. There are untouched waters that are to be explored, I intend to do just that. It's an incredible and exciting new genre that has a long way to go. What's your favourite thing about dubstep? How would you define your music in a sentence?Įmotional, powerful, uplifting and moving. I love the harmonics it gives off – even if I’m not using it in the track it helps me get started. I start nearly every track with a Steinway grand piano. When you write a track, what's the process like? To look up to other artists and think 'I want to be able to produce / write on that level' is important to young producers and was to myself. Pure influence of other respected musicians and producers. It’s definitely one of the factors that is driving me to push the boundaries. I wouldn’t say famous, ha! Although, being respected at such an early stage of my career is really encouraging. So, what's it like being increasingly famous and internationally respected at the age of 21?
Hi Tom (or do you prefer Thomas?) thanks for taking part in this interview. Jack Oughton caught up with the rising star to ask him about music making, exploring the 'untouched waters' of dubstep, and why he always looks so grumpy in photographs. Next month he'll join Chase & Status, Nero, DJ Fresh, Skrillex and a whole host of bass artists at Alexandra Palace for UKF Bass Culture. His 2011 debut EP 'Blue' pleased critics and dancefloors worldwide, and Gemini has already been headhunted to remix tracks by Deadmau5, Nicole Scherzinger, French-Soler, Diddy, Willow Smith, Jamiroquai, Kelis and Hadouken. At just 21 years old, Tom Slinger aka Leeds producer Gemini is already carving out quite a mark for himself on the dubstep scene.
