Read the cunnysdisco (cunny) Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Yo yo, my name is Cunny and I started Cunnysdisco for post-concussion therapy after a lifetime of playing competitive ice hockey. I was diagnosed with some pretty scary stuff, so I started making mixes to help 'wake' my brain up and try to get more synapses firing. Music truly is therapy. I started blending different genres of electronic music: tech house /deep house / techno / downtempo / indie dance trying to be as smooth as possible. Making mixes lead me to buying my first synthesizer and drum machine etc… so now I also produce/play. I am constantly improving my skills and knowledge around electronic music to be the best I can be.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My earliest influences with electronic music stem back to 1997 when I first heard Around the World by Daft Punk. I heard someone bumping it in their old beat up car when I was like 11 and thought it was the dopest thing I'd ever heard. Some of my influences are Trentemoller, Shiba San, Claude VonStroke, BookaShade, Sigur Ros, Tim Baresko, Amine Edge & Dance, Audiojack, Arcada, Dense & Pika
When I was a competitive hockey player I didn't listen to as much deep house/techno/tech house… I was completely obsessed with System of a Down, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, and Eminem.
What´s new right now?
I am dropping my debut EP Dear George, on November 9th.
It's more of a down-tempo/chill hip hop vibe… I am super pumped because I played all the parts & made all the sounds on various synths I have acquired!
