With the release of 'Invictus' just upon the musical horizon, we asked Rinzla some questions about the track, his style in general and more! Let's delve into the mind of this extremely talented artist...
(Before we get stuck into the Q&A with Rinzla, make sure to pre-save the single for tomorrow's release date!) https://ffa.fanlink.to/051
Q1. Hello Rinzla, and welcome to Full Flex Audio! For those that donāt know much about your style, tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into the dubstep scene?
"Music has always been a crucial part within my life. Iām a classically trained musician, with my main focus being drums and other various percussion instruments. I got into electronic music around the age of 12 after hearing producers like Daft Punk, Skrillex, and Noisia. I vividly remember hearing electronic music and being completely fascinated by its intricacy and rhythmic prowess. Ever since then, Iāve been hooked. Iāve been producing for around 4 or 5 years now, and Iāll tell you, itās been a hell of a journey so far."
Q2. With āInvictusā being your latest single release, what can the listeners expect from this track?
"I strive within my music to create a dark, powerful atmosphere. Itās always my goal to make my tracks sound ālarger than lifeā, and to embody a larger, more chaotic energy than anyone else. Invictus holds true to that goal. The climax of the intro is designed to throw the listener into a devilish, deep headspace, foreshadowing the insanity yet to come. The drops contain abrasive, and vehement bass screams, paired with ferocious and āin your faceā machine gun stabs, all coalescing together to create a violent tune."
Q3. What advice would you give to upcoming artists in the dubstep scene?
"Stay true to yourself. I canāt stress that enough. Make the music that you want to hear. The only person you should be worried about pleasing is yourself. A close friend once said, āmake music like youāre the only one doing it.ā Music is a form of self expression, and the second you start trying to please others or bend your music into a contrived effort, you lose the unique quality that makes your music yours. Stay true to yourself, and the rest will follow."
Q4. When writing music, what are some techniques that you keep in mind to avoid a writerās block?
"Unless you are inspired and know exactly what you are going into your DAW to do, donāt open up your workspace with expectations and an elaborate plan. The best ideas come from nothing. Start fresh, donāt adhere to genre specific maxims and ārulesā. If you find yourself within a writerās block, try making a different genre of music for a change. Often, writerās block puts us in a negative headspace, where we arenāt willing to settle for something that isnāt instantaneously viable. My best advice is KEEP WORKING ON MUSIC. Is it appropriate to take breaks? Sure. But if you are working on something for 15 minutes, then choose to throw it away, youāre doing it wrong. Things take time. Your favourite dubstep bangers werenāt made in 2 minutes."
Q5. Where do you see the future of electronic music going, especially dubstep?
"I will acknowledge how clichĆ© this is to say, but the reality is, itās hard to determine right now where dubstep is headed. A lot of people are trying to break us out of the ālive show riddim rutā that the whole community seems to be stuck in. With us all being trapped in our homes, I think a lot of unique things will come out of this unique experience. I think weāll see gobs of music meant to tell stories, paint pictures, and express inner truths on a scale that hasnāt been seen before. I pray that this current generation of producers moves away from the ābangerā fetish, and rather focuses on more intricate and genuine productions. Iād watch out for Nitepunk and CHEE, these guys have the right idea, and are pulling out all the stops to ensure we never have to hear another purple Lamborghini riddim yoink again."
'Invictus' by Rinzla drops TOMORROW, and it will be available on all major stores!
