My name is Art AKA Bingewatch. I am an underground house DJ from Los Angeles with a goal to bring undiscovered, boundary pushing, and groundbreaking music to the scene.
I was originally inspired by watching DJ shadow “In Tune And On Time”, a live set from London. I started out making techno and house music and just kept on going. My love for music has never stopped.
This is my second collaboration with Wenzday, our first one, “SHAKE”, came out on Hau5trap not too long ago. Honestly, it came about from just hanging out in the same scene together and playing B2B a couple times. Wenzday is a good friend, we decided to make a club banger and then “Crunk” was born out of that.
If I could say anything, I would say to keep writing music and really be a part of the scene. Get to know people and don’t just be another unread email in the inbox. Go out. Support dope people. Networking is key.
Learning the history of the genre can really teach you a lot. Check out samples used in the past and now and tune in to the people who have been monumental in the scene. Push boundaries and be unique while keeping it classy.
The process always changes. Could start with a sample I hear on the radio, an idea I start on my iPhone on the plane or messing around with sounds in the studio while playing with hardware. No wrong or right way to do it. Just playing with ideas. As far as finishing tracks, it really depends on the track. Some take longer than others due to their complexity while others could be short and simple.
Right now, it is my Vermona drum machine. It makes some killer drum beats.
Well, I am planning to release Vol. 2 of BINGETAPE next month! I’ve got 5 top tier flips that are really fun and a blast in the club. I’ve been playing these out quite a bit and now it's time to release them into the wild! They feature samples from old school and modern classics that take the people on an unforgettable journey.
As far as shows go, we have Day Trip coming up August 7th and San Diego August 11th. Also, a new residency in Hollywood is starting in September with a Fall Tour announcement coming soon!
U ALREADY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!
