DSB Blog Takeover: Catching Up With Redlight

After shedding his Clipz moniker and bursting emphatically on to the dubstep rave circuit with tracks like ‘What You Talking About?’ as Redlight, there’s been a massive slab of interest thrown in his general direction. Backing up the hype fruitfully with his forthcoming work on the DSB label we shot him a couple of quick questions ahead of his appearance here on Friday.

How are you? What are you up to at the moment?
I’ve just come back from a US tour and have been in Russia and Estonia, so am looking forward to being back in the studio and playing some UK clubs...

You’ve tend to work on a lot of collaborations, such as on your last EP ‘Lobster Boy’ which featured Jenna G, Jammer and Serocee – do you prefer working with other artists? How do they usually come about?
Well the last two release’s featured Ms Dynamite and Roses Gabor, so I do like working with different artists but my latest release is two instrumental tracks just so people know I’m not all about using featured artists and that. I am a artist in my own right. ‘Source 16’ & ‘Progress’ are forthcoming on Digital Sound boy in May (cough cough)...
