After releasing their collaboration EP Nuclear Bonds in October, its pretty much safe to say that duo Slander and NGHTMRE make a deadly producing trio. Both took to Reddit Thursday hosting an AMA for all the fans, where they spoke about everything from a new release coming out tomorrow to revealing they will be doing a joint tour. Here are the highlights of what went down below:
1. What’s next?
Slander: “Next up on the release schedule are some incredible remixes for our Duality EP singles Love Again & Dead. We also have a new heaven trap remix coming soon!!”
NGHTMRE: “I’m dropping my collaboration with Flosstradamus dropping tomorrow!”
2. News on NGHTMRE’S “Street” VIP:
“Street VIP will be out in December.”
3. About whether they will ever go back to making more chilled out melodic tracks:
NGHTMRE: “I actually just finished up a remix for Tommy Trash of his new tune “Luv U Giv”! Really excited to put that one out and its really melodic. I like to just make whatever I feel inspired to make. I definitely enjoy switching it up with hard stuff sometimes but I’ll always like to make both I think.”
Slander: “We have a new heaven trap remix in the works! We like to flip back and forth between styles!”
4. Advice for new and aspiring producers:
Slander: “Being selfish in the studio is the one thing we wish we knew when we started. Make music only for yourself.. make music that you personally love. Don’t start a track thinking I wanna make a song that everyone else likes.. that sets you up for failure right away. If you start a track thinking “I wanna make something that only I like and it doesnt matter what other people think of it”… you will create something unique.”
5. “Most underrated up and comers we should be on the lookout for?”
“Kayzo, Madeaux, Boombox Cartel, WAVZ, J-Louis, Party Thieves, Quix, Lady Parts, Ray Volpe, Oski, Hydraulix”
6. The artists that influenced them the most:
“Jack U, DJ Snake, RL Grime, Rustie, GTA, Valentino Khan, Kill the Noise, Snails and tons more…”
7. NGHTMRE reveals he will indeed release “Burn Out” along with some other surprises:
“I’m going to be releasing a self titled EP at the beginning of next year and Burn Out will definitely be included.”
8. “Before you guys got big and were going to festivals as fans, what were your favorite sets ever from being in the crowd?”
Slander: “TNGHT, DJ Snake, Skrillex, RL Grime, Above & Beyond, Cosmic Gate, Flosstradamus, Major Lazer”
9. They revealed that 2016 will in fact be a huge year:
“Both of us definitely doing lots of festivals next year, nothing we can announce yet though!”
10. Straightforwardly announcing they will be doing a joint tour:
“IT IS COMING.”
