Miami Horror Interview
When: 12:58pm Wednesday 10th Feb | Uploaded by: gracie
Event: BACARDI EXPRESS 2010 (located at at 07:00pm Thursday 25th Mar)
The Bacardi Express is pulling in to town again again on the 27th of March and our main-man in Electro blogger land, Ubbs caught up with him for a quick Q & A in the lead up to this party juggernaut tour. Check Stoneyroads for the original interview and more goodness.
Miami Horror could be attributed to some of Australia’s most influential releases within our music scene in the last few years with a string of ‘hits’ that have also struck home across the globe.
In the lead up to the debut full length release of ‘Illumination’ Ben stepped out of his production/dj/live show shoes and answered a few q’s for the Stoney Roads crew.
Ubbs: Name, age, hometown?
MH: Benjamin 23, Melbourne
Ubbs: What was one of the first records you bought/listened to?
MH:
The first record I listened to excessively was my parents copy of
prince’s greatest hits, the first i actually bought was the strokes ‘is
this it’.
Ubbs: What is the journey been like leading up to your debut LP ‘Illumination’?
MH:
It’s been pretty lengthy and ridiculous. It included some songs which I
had written as far back as 18. I dont think I knew what I was getting
myself into by attempting to create an album.Originally i had planned
for it to be a highly disco orientated record however dropped alot of
those tracks because of the disco fad and continued down the path of
somethibg more original/what I’m enjoying more now.. Which is, besides
a few tracks on the album a more 70s pop and slightly prog\psychededlic
direction..
Ubbs: I’ve heard there are some interesting collaborations, care to spill any deets?
MH:
We’ve worked with the great Alan palomo from neon Indian/vega on a few
tracks both vocally and stylistically.. Penelope from the golden filter
has sung on one of the more 60s/disco house orientated tracks.. A
really amazing Swedish artist Mai has sung on another track. Lastly a
friend and really young singer from Melbourne ’sam lawrence’ who has a
really interesting jeff buckley/ Antony hegarty style voice has sung on
what will hopefully be the second single ‘moon theory’
Ubbs: Lastly, any secrets about Miami Horror we should know about? fave snacks, preference in underwear, anteaters or sloths?
MH: I have a feeling that Mi-goreng has had a big influence on this album..
So there you have it, a Prince fan from the start, swedish artist collabs and shares our faithful cornerstone of nutrition ‘mi-goreng’!
