The Hectors Mixtape ~ Kamus (Eyeangle / Roux Records) | [THM023]

📼 The Hectors Mixtape 📼
[THM023]
Kamus (Eyeangle / Roux Records)

1) Tell us about yourself…..
My name's Cammy Gallagher; I’ll be joining Glasgow University after the summer to study Philosophy; and I pretty much spend all my time on my laptop either listening to, or making music (under the name Kamus).

2) How did you get into music and DJing?
My first musical experience was piano lessons around the age of 10, but I didn’t enjoy the grading system, so I’ve just been improvising, and playing by ear since. My passion for music turned electronic, once I discovered Ableton, when I was about 15. I quickly became obsessed with the trial software - which eventually ran out, so I sold my Xbox, bought the real thing, and have never looked back since. However, it’s only over the last year that I’ve got my head down with the technicalities surrounding my production, as opposed to just messing around. Regarding Djing, I decided to get a pair of decks as a way to interact with the music I enjoy, instead of just collecting and listening to it. I would love to have a cool backstory that my mum and dad used to b2b the slam tent, but the reality is they are usually just telling me to turn the speakers down, so I do not know where my passion spawned from.

3) Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?
This can change daily with all the quality new music thats coming out. But, currently: I’m right into Felipe Gordon (highly recommend to check him out !); rate a good bit of Big Miz, and can always rely on Liam Doc for a banger. Label wise, Dixon Avenue Basement Jams are always putting out top stuff, so I’ve got a lot of respect for them as well. On the topic of Dj’s, Mall Grab always seems full of energy, making him very exciting to watch. And, Jackmaster, just seems like a sound guy.

4) Tell us about your mix…..
The mix has a variety of soundscapes within it, and I would say it represents my tastes fairly accurately. I like to keep my hands busy when I'm Djing, so I did as much as my 2 channel DJM-450 would allow me. I wanted to keep it moving in new directions, and stay exciting. I myself, love soulful vocals, cowbells, and acid lines - so I guess its just a little bit of me : )

5) What are your future plans?
I’ve got a few releases coming out on both Eyeangle Records, and its sub label - Roux Records, which I’m really excited to be a part of. In the future, I will most likely continue the never ending search for the perfect sample on youtube, but I've also got ideas for more synth based stuff. Just the other day actually, I ordered a Roland TB-03 (which will be my very first peice of hardware) so I'm pretty buzzing to pick that up, and get messing around with it. The eventual dream is of course a studio where I can just create, so the journey has begun to a kingdom of wires.

6) Anything else you want to mention…..
Just keep your eyes peeled for whats going on with Eyeangle and Roux Records really. Liam and Chris have mad release schedules, and events, lined up, so I think the future is definitely promising ! Also cheers for listening to the mix : )
