Niña Mendoza { RBMA x Exclaim Remix Contest Winners – Get to Know Hexadecibel & Self Evident
Nouveau Palais – Drama (HxdB & Self Evident’s RMX) [CONTEST WINNER!!] : Forthcoming Surefire by ΗxdB
Please tell us a bit about yourself.
HxdB: My name is Severine Erickson, I call Vancouver home. I was a late bloomer.
Self Evident: My name is Ben Ulis aka Self Evident. I live to create, and to dance around like an idiot.
Why did you want to remix this track?
HxdB: I had first heard the original in a mix by Salva and instantly loved it. When I discovered that the track was up for remix I couldn’t pass up the chance. When Ben came into the picture the track took on a new direction and really began to blossom…I even pulled out my old Oberheim Xpander to give it more of a 80s feel. :)
Self Evident: I am a huge fan of all the artists that make up Nouveau Palais. Sev (HxdB) asked me to work on this remix with him, and I am very pleased that I did. Sev and I, have alot of chemistry and fun in the studio. We are both very stubborn, but we have alot of respect for eachother.
What are your thoughts on Red Bull Music Academy?
HxdB: From what I have seen and heard it is the pinnacle of creative alchemy. The artists that are chosen by and large have been some of my favorites over the years. It’s such a novel idea getting together so many amazing artists from such diverse backgrounds to learn and collaborate. I am like Ben too, I‘ve been meaning to apply, but waiting for the right time in my life to do so. Now is the time. :)
Self Evident: Red Bull Academy is a fantastic opportunity for musicians. I have had alot of positive feedback first hand from people who have attended it.
Electronic music is such a broad term, can you define what you do in that genre that sets you apart?
HxdB: Well, I’d like to think that I don’t really have a genre, that being said though I think that I bring a lot of different and eclectic influences to my music. I always like to have an idea of how people would react to the music if they were on a dance floor and I try to bring energy into my music with high emotional content. Since Ben and I have begun working in the studio so much, we have both really changed our approach to production and complemented each other’s styles so much and really created a new entity. As opposed to listing superlative buzz words to describe my sound, I would simply invite people to head over to my soundcloud to get a better understanding of who I am.
Self Evident: I am constantly filtering through masses of inspiration from everything that crosses my path. I have an open mind to all genres, and my music and sets reflect that. The real answer to this question is in the music, please visit my soundcloud.
