Dj Landan Time here,and starting of with my favorite film being titanic,
Just joking, though this would be a good way to break the ice.
I am an open format Dj & Producer from the UK, working on multiple genres of music,
this coming for my love and passion for the art form, whether it be Dj ing music, producing, interacting,
writing, composing or just listening,
Too early to plug my social media profiles? well i guess you would like to hear some examples whilst you read the rest of my interview.
it is https://soundcloud.com/djlandan-time
A Dj & producer who started off by playing early house, who then progressed onto UK garage. Landan then started hosting & promoting club nights within the UK, booking national & local artists in a new wave of urban UK music emerging. At this time Landan would host weekly residences on underground London stations and hold residencies in clubs. Soon Landan had the bug to start creating and producing his own material, working hard for a few years Landan now progressed to starting a solo career specializing in underground open format music, At present Landan has been playing a few venues, and now pushing hard in 2018 to gain more experience and productions under his belt and to make music, more music and well you get the picture.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My Influences are wide & varied, I started out listening to 60's music as a child, with The Beatles my main influence from this time in my life. I always remember how their songs would take me on a musical journey. I then progressed onto early hip hop, buying a few LL Cool J records, fascinated with the rawness of the beats and the lyrical word play.With other artists such as Slick Rick,Doug E Fresh, NWA, Snoop, Cypress Hill, Tpac, Biggie, Nas, Wu Tang, are all but a few influences of this period. Then came pirate radio, listening to hardcore & early jungle that made me want to buy my first set of decks, 'Soundlabs' if you can mix on these you can mix on anything!
This took me into a word of underground dance music, listening to Kool FM, Kiss, Rinse, Centerforce, Freek FM with the likes of Brockie, Det, Skibadee, Todd Edwards, Wookie, Preshus MC,Spidey G, Heartless Crew, being influenced a lot by DJ Hype, as a DJ & producer, Have you heard him scratch? Just mind blowing.
A few other artists like, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac, Dr Dre, Quincey Jones,
What´s new right now?
Right now? A ton of stuff, out Dj ing regularly, getting a chance to drop my new productions, and seeing how they sound and work the floor in the club, with one track that i have played out a few times recently is my Nervo Remix of 'Champagne' with the response being a good to great one.
Also back and fourth from my home studio to the pro studio i use, working on new & existing tracks,
I will be releasing an E.P in the coming month. Along with original tracks from collaborations i have sourced through social media from around the globe.
Will be pushing hard on all fronts in 2018, keep tuned & locked in.
