Nima Khak interview - who is this uprising dj/producer - you find out here!

Nima Khak


So tell us, who is Nima Khak?
Nima Khak is a music lover first and for most. As a child I was the one in the family who always had a fresh new tape ready in the home stereo, ready to record the latest tracks as soon as they were aired on the radio. Early heroes where Michael Jackson, The Prodigy, Guns 'n' Roses , Mc Hammer (oh yes, I will admit that I had my Hammer pants on doing his dances in the living room :)

As a teenager I started to find my way around the Stockholm underground techno scene, and it was at one of the first visits to the legendary "Docklands club" where I heard Cari Lekebusch spin techno for the first time. Soon after that I bought my first real techno CDs ("Code Red-Stand Down" (still one of the best techno compilations that have ever been released) and "Cari Lekebusch
Det Jag Vet (Album)" ) and I fell totally in love with the sound. To a very big extend those two albums influenced my sound back then and in many ways they still do.

How would you describe your sound?
I grew up in Stockholm with the rich flora of prolific labels such as Drumcode, Code Red, H-Productions, Inside rec. and the other Stockholm based labels coloring the soundscape of my own production to a big extent. Today my productions are often centered around a deeper groove and a pulsating beat, but always with a clear and consistent idea and a forward thinking drive as showcased by my releases on Drumcode, H-Productions and Truesoul. But I always try to stay curious, exploring, experimenting and keep developing my own sound, I don't want to be an artist whom you can easily put a genera label on.

Allot have happened your DJ career the last year. With releases on Drumcode and Hybrid Productions its easy to say 2010 has been a good year. How has it affected you?
Yes, I must say 2010 has both production-wise and Dj-wise been a great year for me. I have never been a "mass-producer", I can't pop out 2 tracks a week. I like to play around with a singel loop a few weeks then leaving it and get back to it with fresh "critical" ears before I finish a new song. So you will not start to see a crazy amount of new Nima Khak releases, but hopefully the ones you hear are good ones.

Any upcoming releases?
In the pipeline there are two new remix coming out early next year. One of the remix is on a Patrick Siech track that will be released on Gregor Treshers Break New Soil imprint. The other one I can't talk to much about right now. I am also working on some new stuff with our Shufflekraft project, its a project where me, Nihad Tule and Lasseman get together, smoke water-pipes and do crazy beats :). 
I think you will see much more of that project during 2011.

In the studio, software or hardware?
In my studio its all about Ableton Live! I am a software developer, so naturally I work a lot with my PC (Yes kids you can still produce with a PC, even if all the hipsters wants you to think differently :)
But I have a few midi-controllers to help me around, my APC-40 is the main tool.

How do you feel about playing at Hyper.Melon’s first indoor event? This is the second time your with us, but this time its gonna be stepped up a notch. We are really happy to have you back.
I am super excited about this gig! It was a treat to play at the Hyper.Melon party at F12 this summer but I have a feeling this will even top that! I mean with a line up like this you can't go wrong basically.

Whats your favorite tune atm?
That is an impossible question for me to answer. Favorite tune changes depending on what I am doing and my mood at that specific moment. I listen to everything from Motown to post-rock stuff. But if you want to know my favorite techno tracks at the moment you can check out my November chart that I posted on swedishtechno.com: http://swedishtechno.com/nima-khak/chart/126

How does the future look like for mr Nima Khak?
Right now, Nihad Tule, Miss Dilemma and my self are looking for a new studio-space to share, and as soon as we have found our new home, a big chunk of my focus will be on the production side of things again and maybe a bit fewer Dj gigs.

We took a closer look at Mr Dustin Zahn for a interview - hope you enjoy!

Dustin Zahn


How does the techno scene look like in Minneapolis?
It’s fairly strong at the moment. It’s not as big of a market as NYC or LA so the options and culture is a bit limited, but the trade-off is that you can play just about anything as long as you do it well. In Minneapolis, there is no need to stick to the trends.

What made you want to DJ and produce techno? Any big inspirations?
I have always been a fan of the music and it seemed like a good idea to pass the time when I was in school. Since I started so early, it basically became who I am and I don’t know life in any other way. I’d say I’ve been influenced more than inspired by some DJs. Growing up with techno music for example, I appreciated Ben Sims for the creativity in his 3-deck mixing style, Surgeon for his approach to genre-bending sets, and someone like Marco Carola for having one of the smoothest techniques in the world.

How would you describe your sound?
I would say it is techno music for the “thinking man,” but I also don’t want him to think too hard. Then of course there is the house-influenced stuff for the girls…it is what it is.

How do you feel about playing in Stockholm the 13th of November with Joel Mull?
It’s terrible. My agent said, “Hey man, you have to go to Stockholm,” and I said, “Why the hell do I have to go to Sweden? We agreed only on bookings with beaches and champagne!” Just when you think the conversation couldn’t get any worse, it did.

Agent: Oh yeah, one other thing. Kind of a touchy subject. Uh…you know Joel Mull?
Me: (sigh) The guy from Drumcode and Truesoul?
Agent: Yeah, that asshole. Anyway, it looks like you’re gonna have to play with him.
Me: You’re fired.

Seriously though, it’s great. Joel is a good friend and our styles complement each other nicely, so it’s always a good time. Playing with Nihad & Nima will be nice too…their Drumcode was pretty damn good. Nihad is also doing something for my label, Enemy, so it will be good to slap him. I’m also looking forward to Stockholm because I have friends there and have met a lot of the people before. Plus, I’ve done a number of things for Drumcode and Truesoul so it’s good to see the climate these labels exist in. Adam was one of the first big DJs to support my tracks.

Have you played here before?
No. I was in Stockholm for a day once, doing the tourist thing about 8 years ago. I was actually supposed to play some small gig there, but apparently the place burned down. I realized this when I arrived. It finally made sense why nobody was writing me back a couple days beforehand.

Favorite tune at the moment?
No particular favorites, but some I enjoy at the moment:
Subjected “Vault Series 1.0”
Dennis Ferrer – The Red Roomwe
LB Dub Corp – It’s What You Feel
Freddy Fresh – 5 More Mouths

In the studio, software or hardware?
I’m all software, but if I ever hit it big on the asteroid belt of shit that is Beatport, I am going to buy a bunch of analog gear. Software has become a bit too sterile and lifeless for me.

What’s in store for Dustin Zahn in the near future?
I’m trying to write an album at the moment. I’d say it’s around halfway done. I’m also in the studio a lot in November with a few different producers, Joel included. There is no pressure to turn out an EP from these collaborations, but I hope something good comes from it all!
