INTERVIEW.
1. Hello. How are you? How is Germany?
Hey, thanks It’s all good!
Living here since 1991 and I can say that it’s a country with a lot of variety and many creative people and ideas. Sometimes a bit shortspoken but overall it’s cool to live here.
2. What kind of environment would you like to make with your music as Lupid Ocampo?
Sometimes I imagine driving a space cab watching the stars fly by, I guess this would be a refreshing environment.

3. What got you interested in producing?
I used to listen t
o a lot of Hip Hop and Drum’n’Bass in the 90’s and started Djing, but I always felt like something was missing. The thing is my interest is much more on beats than on rappers. When a friend introduced me to Cubase and a Sampler it just happened.
4. How’s the electronic community in Germany? Or is most of your presence felt through online music sites?
The scene here is huge especially for Electro, Techno and House. But honestly it’s not my cup of tea.
When you break down the scene into different styles, Leftfield Beat Music is slightly underrepresented but growing. There’s no day that I don’t discover new folks. So, yes by now my presence is mainly through the web.
5. Any fun projects in the works?
Just finished my ‘WYSIBC’ Ep which is more like a sketch book of ideas and released it on Morgen Noi Collective. I’m working on a lot of stuff, collaborations, and always exploring new sounds.
And got an EP dropping on *Export Label in the 2nd or 3rd quater of 2011. Let’s see what else is going to happen… just staying busy.
6. Favorite phrase?
Facepalm
* Show love here..

INTERVIEW.
1. AHH! Your shit is crazy! Where does this craziness come from?
Thanks alot! im currently turning out slaps from San Jose, CA.
2. What’s your favorite artist at the moment?
Brenton Wood…
3. Where are you from? Do you feel connected with your local music community?
Im originally from Cleveland OH. AND, I do actually.. For a while there I didn’t know anybody in San Jose, and that blew ass.. this place was really foreign and different from the midwest, but I couldn’t really find a legitimate reason to leave, so I stuck around, and now I know a few heads, and I got some links up in the city (SF) too. Big ups to the fam up there, J-Mousepad, DREWMIN, Cyclyst, them fools really be holdin it down and have shown me soo much love…also Joob Kicksnare and J-schlock, down here in SJ big ups. I’m pretty convinced that if it was up to me id never leave the bay.. I wanna see wus good wit LA tho at some point.. Still got mad love for the ‘land too tho always.. S/O to all my hommies..
4. How would you describe your music, if someone asked with zero knowledge about genres and other stuff?
I would tell them that they better watch that neck… hahaha naw, i’d say its a conglomerate of sorts. Aesthetically, it’s roots are
based in Hip-Hop and funk, but it dances in the realm of electronic/minimalist at times.. Conceptually, though, I think this
whole steez was birthed from me not giving a shit anymore.. So its a message as well, get it how you live. Trust in your self,
yadadamean?? Also, I got really sick of the sequential/formulaic approach to making tracks, so I don’t do that much, and if I do, its loops or “purposefully” quantized.. if that makes sense. Im incredibly involved in the progression of developing music as an art form and not as a product. with that being said, this is not to say that folks who are talented shouldn’t be able to eat off this beat shit. Im just an exception of sorts, I do other things to eat feel me? but I love the music, and I would like to see some scratch off the productions ive developed.. just not my #1 priority…
5. What first got you interested in producing?
My folks, greatest people ever. My dad plays the bass, and I loved hearing him play that thing. My peoples always facilitated my creative endeavors with as much support as they could. My dad had a little recording studio, nothing fancy.. but it worked and I still make blaps there when im back.. big tings to come with my pops too..if yall are interested..
6. Any big projects in the works?
Gotta ep droppin with Cascade Records in 2011. Almost done with that, also, Footclan Vol. 2 coming at some point. And other than that just tryin stay bizzy, meet and work wit as many cats as I can.
7. Favorite phrase?
As of now.. “bitch im from cleveland!!”

Hey ya’ll. I gotta some music 4u
INTERVIEW.
1. How does your location affect your music?
I feel like living in a country which is mostly focused on indie-rock, pop music, and hip hop (to a far lesser extent) sort of makes me focus on making more bizarre sounding beats. And because I feel that people aren’t really paying attention to my sound in general, it allows me to just make whatever comes to mind and just roll with it. The weather is also really extreme, so in the ridiculous heat of the summer and the extreme cold of the winter I find myself just sitting inside, unable to go out much. I guess that’s when the beats get real weird.
2. I like your song names, where do these ideas come from?
I grew up listening to a lot of hip-hop. I still have the lyrics to countless songs committed to memory. The song titles are basically lyrics from different hip-hop songs lol. These particular lines stood out to me so I end up using them as song titles.
X Amount of Thoughts by qwaycee
3. How would you describe the feel of your music?
I’d describe my songs as just being really bizarre, real weirdo stuff. I think part of the bizarre feel comes from the fact that there’s a lot crammed into them…which might make them a little bit harder to get into. Many things coming at you at once. So they seem a little bit “anxious”, for lack of a better term.
4. As an artist myself getting into producing it can feel a bit intimidating..any really good encouragement you’ve gotten since you started?
Ignore what everyone else is doing and just make music that you enjoy yourself. A lot of people might be making a certain sound or whatever, but just work at making something that represents yourself. I’m still new at this, and still have a lot to learn, but I’m glad I’m not worrying about following a particular sound. Gives me more room to just find my own style. And additionally, don’t measure your own music up to other music you feel is really good. If you do this you’ll always perceive your own music to be garbage.

5. Any major projects in the works for you?
I’ve got zero major projects in the works unfortunately lol. I suppose a “major project” is just to figure my sound out a bit more. Maybe a little EP sometime next year, we’ll see.
6. Favorite phrase?
Drawing a blank right now. Probably a quote from “The Wire” lol.
