Read the IGNOTUS Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Born in Pakistan, I'm a DJ & Producer raised in HK expressing myself through music based on a mix of European/Western & Asian influences.
An Open Format DJ mixing music from the 60s all the way to Dnb. My interest in music is so vast I find it hard to DJ just one genre. There's just so much to express in terms of music that I almost always end up playing some Dnb in a random commercial club and the feedback has been quite positive.
Some of the stuff I've produced recently is this remix of an Indian Sample I chopped up from A.R Rahman.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I actually learnt how to DJ on Big room and progressive house when I first started DJing. My first influences were Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and I think still to this day when I perform no matter what genre I took a lot from them on how they control a crowd. Recently my underground friends have gotten me into the dirtier bassier stuff so I'd have to say my sounds changing a lot and I'm taking influences from people like Carl Cox, Goldie, Solomon and my favourite producer right now is Matroda!
What´s new right now?
I have some interesting house projects coming up this year soon as my vocal guy can get time off his new project. I'm really using 2018 to find my own sound in production and trying to make more emotional and melodic stuff.
You can follow my Instagram and soundcloud for all my new stuff that is hopefully going to come out this year!
