phuture: Writer’s block happens to nearly everyone that has ever created art, what are your methods to overcome it?
chldrns?: everyone needs breaks when working on anything. i always try to take breaks from producing, that way my ideas keep flowing and i don’t get stuck trying to force myself into the process. When necessary i even take a about a week without listening to any music at all, and then try and come back to my project to see what i can do.

phuture: What is the last song on your soundcloud feed that truly captivated your attention?
chldrns?: i’d say ‘hold up’ by yugi boi and DIlIP, and any j.robb song really hahah

phuture: Why did you get into music in the first place? What birthed your creative ingenuity?
chldrns?: when i was about 8 years old i wanted to be a guitar player like Jimmy Page or Slash, but i was always curious about what djs did and how electronic music came to life. i started djing when i was 12 and producing when i turned 15, it’s been almost two years and a wonderful journey since then :).

phuture: How would you recommend Stella get her groove back?
chldrns?: just go with the flow gurrrrl

phuture: What inspired you to create this track? What are your general creative influences?
chldrns?: it was a couple of months ago. i had just gone through a pretty harsh and new experience for me, which i think played a big part in the process. i layed down some ideas and after listening to some Zotti, ‘angles’ came to life. to everyone out there, experiences do influence your sound, try to live as much as possible.
