Interview for "A Little Beat" magazine:
DUBSTEP vs BREAKCORE
Major Klemt vs Krumble





Major Klemt (www.myspace.com/majorklemt) es productor de dubstep-breakstep y últimamente también se le conoce por ser pionero del estilo 'Neurostep'. Es el fundador del label Polyghom Records junto con su hermano y también productor Ohmwerk en el cual publican gratuitamente sus propias producciones junto con la de otros artistas como Flatmate ó M3T4. También es el fundador de la fiesta 'TEMPLE OFBASS' de Lyon por la que han pasado artistas del calibre de Remarc,Ital Tek o Broken Note.
En sus producciones predominan bajos brutales y mutantes junto con breaks y melodías futuristas que te envuelven y no puedes dejar de moverte tal y como demostró en su primera visita a Barcelona (puedes chequear un video de su actuación en www.myspace.com/hybridmuzik).

1.Where and when were you born Thierry?
Major ? In a Comics , I think:) .Me , in Lyon in 1974 .

2.What does MAJOR KLEMT mean? and why do you use it?
Major Klemt is a character . One day he will have his comic book

3.The first music reference that you have? Influences?
Ah ,ah...I don't know ...perhaps all between 30 Hz to 16000khz !!
But1 artist is over the top ...In the scene , there is « electronicmusic » and ....Squarepusher! He isn't an influence but the mostimportant artist of this last 10 years. A genius!

4. When you have started to play music? and how you arrive to this point (breakstep-neurostep)?
At first in my bedroom with a small groove box in 1997 .
I listened a lot of Idm , Jungle, Abstract Hip hop , Rock , Funk ,...etc...breakstep is the small result of all these influences...bass&drum&FX&melodie...This is always under construction...I like the sonorous matter, the specific writing of the electronics,it is fascinating to be able to create his sonorous universe....To usecomputer like an instrument . I Like contrast : to be complex &dancefloor , to be mental & mainstream , I want to do that ...I try.

5.When you produce, which is the process? what software or synths?
I create some sounds banks with synths( acces virus , Korg Z1...) and softwares .
And I use Fl studio for composed my puzzle.

6. Do you use samples or do you think that it,s a kind of theft?
No sampling!! just for one shot (snare ,kick..etc) I like compose and play my music!

7.Which will be your next project?
First Maxi on Polygohm records in October ...with Ohmwerk . and we'll organising other 'Temple of Bass ' evenings.

8.Which is the philosophy of your label 'Polyghom Records'?
Electronic& Subculture ...lol Into Polygohm we like Idm, Jungle , Funk , Acid, Dub etc....but Bass Research & Original melody are very importantfor us.
There are 6 artists now...Flatmate (2 guys) , M3T4 , Morning crash , Ohmwerk and me....all in Lyon.
Philosophy? « La découverte »

9. And of 'Temple of Bass'? when was the first party?
It was in May 2007 with Ohmwerk , M3T4 , Mc Jenny K and other polygohm's artists.
During1 year we have received Remarc, Reso , Dj Hidden , Warlock , Ital Tek ,Dj Narrows , Broken Note , Search&Destroy , Mac Koall , Synaptic,Greg G , Caterva...etc
We try to make Bass Music Party...not exclusivly Dubstep but electronic Bass Music.

10. We want to know too if you use to go to dubstep or breakcore festivals and what do you think about the scene.
All festivals are good when you mixes styles.
Thescene is very open...but sometimes there is too much « clone » ..So,Today the most interesting « dubstep » is into the music's Reso orBoxcutter , Emalkay , Broken note..(for exemple) because they useDubstep style in others directions , It's just an influence for them ,not a style!

Thank you very much Thierry. We see you the next 13th September at '2nd hYbRid Birthday'.

now, the answers:


1.Where and when were you born Julien?

i was born on the 4th of june 1977 in France so i'm 31 now

2.What does Krumble mean? and why do you use it?

everybodyknows the crumble cake which i fell in love when i was a student. Youcan put all you want inside: fuits, vegetables, meat... this is asublime and the ultimate cake i think! it's a good definition of mymusic, because i use a lot of different sources and samples, it's likea big mix of a large choice of sounds and beats, so krumble is directlycoming from my sound kitchen!!!!!!!!!

3.The first music reference that you have? Influences?

woa,the very first one? lot of bad and trendy things you heard when you arein high school! but i love classical music, jazz, hip hop, dnbass, idm,reggae... not really surprising in fact... i can play the piano andsaxophone (a little bit), and love all kind of music that make me feelgood:). Really love John Coltrane for example.

4. When you have started to play music? and how you arrive to this point (Raggacore-Breakcore)?

istarted to play electronic music in 1996/97 as a techno dj like all myfriends in my city, we bought 2 technics mk2 and started to play thefew records we could found, cause it was difficult at this time to findsome electro or jungle stuff (except if you were living in Paris). Wheni heard for the first time the famous amen break on an old jungle tapeit was like a revelation for me, cause this kind of music was morecomplex, melodical and exciting than techno. After that i began toproduce some old skool jungle trax on Jungle therapy (a label from agood friend of mine living on the same city)and met Frank Rotator a fewyears after who introduce me to the Ambush, Praxis, Position chromeunivers...

5.When you produce, which is the process? what software or synths?

i'mworking with acid pro, some vst and analog synthz, i'm sampling everykind of music, beats, instruments... i often begin to compose beats andafter playing some bass or using cutting voices...trying to find a goodway to destroy sounds systems hahahaha

6. Do you use samplers or do you think that it,s a kind of theft?

ihave had an old yamaha A3000 sampler but honnestly it was really longand difficult to compose with it... i can't compose an entire tunewithout my computer now, althoug i'm a big fan of analog synthz and ofmy lovely TB303:) but i'm a computer addict because it's the fastestway to compose!!!

7.Which will be your next project?

ihope to finish one day all the trax and remix i promised...and i havenow a funny electro techno project called Kidz On Acid...

8. We want to know too if you use to go to dubstep or breakcore festivals and what do you think about the scene.

Festivalsis a good way to meet different artists and to discover new live act.It is also a good way to drink some free beers and strong alcohol fornothing! Breakcore is a small scene and everybody knows everybody infact, it's always a good thing to meet each other again with artistsyou met before, especially in a big event, but ther's not a lot of bigBreakcore event for the moment, breakcore is just infected a part ofgreat festival like Glade festival (UK), Dour (BE) or Astropolis(FR)...this is the beginning of something i think.

Thank you very much Julien, we see you next 13th of September to celebrate together 'hYbRid 2nd Birthday' in Barcelona with Major Klemt and hYbRid crew.
