Incoming: Halogen

Artist: Halogen

Like a bit of electronica with a smattering of glitch, ambient and unusual radio static? Say hello to Brighton's Halogen.

Drop-D: Who are you?

Halogen: I am Adam Janota-Bzowski and I’ve been hiding under the moniker Halogen for just under three years now.

Drop-D: Where are you based?

H: I currently reside very close to the sea in Hove, Brighton, UK in my purple fronted masionette.

Drop-D: IDM is your thing, it would seem? How would you define your sound?

H: IDM, of course, stands for Intelligent Dance Music but I can’t really imagine intelligent people dancing to my tracks nor do I know how someone can dance intelligently. In its basic form I guess I make ambient/glitch but I like to think of it as a surreal cinematic soundtrack where the film is everything that passes your eyes.

Drop-D: Tell us about your role as a producer and what you might have in the pipeline?

H: I really love working with as many people as possible, I grew up making music in various post-rock/metal/math-rock bands so that collaborative approach is in my nature. I’m looking to get a large collective effort from various musicians to play on an acoustic EP I’m making for the Fluid Audio label, also getting some collaborations from some singers and MCs on a free download hip-hop EP for net-lab. co. uk. Apart from that working on a bunch of remixes for Tenaka, Iambic, Cloud Ants and hopefully a few others.
