**So, Prisss, what do you do?**

*“I love putting collages of creative unheard sounds onto the dance floor. Creating delightful soundscapes woven with deep textures, processed clips of geo-political commentary and other carefully chosen noises.*

*“I am fascinated with synthesising ideas from all realms and communicating messages whilst keeping the dance floor smiling and laughing. I aim to someday be so creative to make people dance to random noise!”*

**It sounds like DJing is deeply meaningful to you beyond just making folks dance?**

*“Most definitely! I’m kinaesthetic and see music as morphing coloured landscapes.*

*“For me, good music is a privilege and honour to share with people, it is like a window to a composer’s stream of consciousness.”*

**Have you been doing this long? Why did you start?**

*“At 9, I made my first wind-up turntable out of Meccano, a sewing needle and a margarine tub. It played records very well. But only once! Later that evening I added old bits from the dump, speakers inside a cereal box, and mixed Bach and David Bowie Hunky Dory at full volume.*

*“I learned the flute and piano. Judy Blame introduced me to The Residents which led me to avant-garde jazz and Zappa. Clubbing was initially a stress relief, but then I realised I wanted to share the fun of playing good music to appreciative crowds.*

*“I DJed for the first time in 2009, at the Stone Bar in Thailand that had massive bass bins that you could hear across the bay! I played whatever I liked all evening long there, hung out with all sorts of people, musicians and explored my style.”*

**What is your favourite gig?**

*“Playing the first \[beep\] gig in 2013\. I’d spent a long time preparing a special set: a conscious sound scape with a story, which I performed in front of a new crowd of people. And it went great: everyone piled downstairs, packed it out and seemed to love it! It made me feel alive, connected and hungry for more.”*

**What is \[beep\]?**

*“\[beep\] – Brighton Experimental Electronic Party – is a collective for electronic musicians to start performing. No rules, just a bunch of open-minded artists who share skills, and who love expressing and enjoying ourselves holding gigs at – The Verdict jazz cafe, Edward Street – our spiritual home first Saturday every month. I’m really happy to be involved and playing regularly.*

*“I’ve just finished a short-run series of Sunday afternoon down-tempo, chill out sessions called The Living Room. And I also play in various clubs in Thailand when I’m over there and in pubs and clubs around Brighton.”*

**What interesting projects have you got coming up next?**

*“A custom-built top quality horn-loaded valve-amped sound system in our \[beep\] venue; something like Larry Levan’s Big Bertha in Paradise Garage, NY.*

*“I also perform as part of Breaking Robots, where we try to go a bit further in terms of experimental improvisation with an underlying message.”*
