Phuture: What a way to end 2017 with Rohaan x Roxas’ “Mimikats” to Roxas & Klahrk’s “init_01 ep”! You guys are very much carving way to a very experimental dark journey with each new release. What can you tell us about “Red”?
Rohaan: Yea Klahrk and i started the idea a while ago, when we got the first edit back from Roxas i knew we had made a fresh lettuce!
KLAHRK: It was throughout the summer, Rohaan and I hit up Roxas and this one just stuck, he transformed it and it just went nutty – Rox is king
roxas: besides it was fun to create a song with klahrk and rohaan, it was interesting to capture my nightmares in a song

Phuture: What do you want the listener to take away, while listening to “Red”?
Rohaan: Just youtube search ‘Red Strobe’. Click the first video then stare at it while this track plays
KLAHRK: bass
roxas: a feeling
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Phuture: What influenced you to create a track like “Red”?
Rohaan: Yea i agree with KLAHRK on this one! We both had a very similar process when it came to the writing process and influence! Dark bass heavy distortion
KLAHRK: I remember when me and Rohaan were making sounds over the summer we were both liking Eprom and G Jones’ latest stuff and we were trying create a bass heavy banger so like I said we hit up Roxas and he just made this insane piece and it just went from there
roxas: at that time my inspirational muse was alon mor, which helped me to create this song

Phuture: What kind of advice would you give to someone to develop their signature sound?
Rohaan: Make things you hate, make things you love. I personally think you shouldn’t even think about a ‘sound’. Just create as much music as possible and see what happens
KLAHRK: Keep experimenting
roxas: as said klahrk, pure experimentation

Phuture: Writer’s block happens to nearly everyone that has ever created art, what are your methods to overcome it?
