THE FORMANT : A SPACE BETWEEN INTERVIEW

6/24/2017

The Formant recently interviewed me about the creative process behind the Rainflow EP.

Rainflow is a change in approach for DROX, one that sees him move away from the contrapuntal raw machine music made for dancing we’ve come to know from the Australian producer and step into ideas of atmosphere and an aural feeling. “There’s definitely that feel — well for me anyway — of that idea of background noise and things in the distance which is what I was trying to convey,“ explains Adrian. It comes together through four magnificent tracks that progress with the ease of a Sunday morning, enveloped in a wispy, fragile atmosphere that crunch just beneath the surface. Like the sound of rain filling every moment of silence, Rainflow bounds with a distant noise, filling in the gaps between the beats as drum machines and synthesisers pulse with repetition like a mantra.

The fourth release on the Analog Cabin label is out today which is also my first solo EP for the label.

These tracks were inspired by one recent rainy winters day.

Drox's music can be described as heavily influenced by electro and indeed, electro past and present in all it's forms is one of his primary inspirations. But that is only one part of the picture. Techno, house, dub, ambient, experimental and all manor of deep experimental music are integral to his sound, and it's not easy to file him under any one genre or any one style or mode of production.
The unifying factor is that his music is funky, smart and moving. Whether producing, spinning records or playing his tracks live, whether the beats are broken or four to the floor, the Drox vibe is deep, melodic, propulsive, precise, quirky and tweaked to perfection.
He is as capable whipping a floor into a frenzy with driving machine music as he is providing a funk, soul and disco blend at your favourite listening bar.

In 2023 Drox launched a new vinyl label: Delphic Iris in collaboration with Berlin based 16 Faces, as an outlet for their productions launched in Berlin, London and Sydney.

His intelligent approach has led to him playing at some of Sydney and Australia's most well-respected clubs/events, both as a headliner and as a support act for international artists such as Mike Huckaby RIP. Hieroglyphic Being, Buzz Kull, Assembler Code and Reptant among others.

He has also received international recognition, playing in Berlin and London along with providing mixes for Serotonin Records in New York, Dark Science Electro in Colorado, Hjärngymnastik in Sweden, and Cyber Domain in the UK/Germany.

Other stops on his musical travels have included Melbourne, Brisbane, and a livestream for The Advent’s techno-club.net virtual club.

Drox is an accomplished producer, his tracks have earned praise from Vince Watson, Iron Curtis, DJ Bone and Neville Watson for his productions along with with releases on Datadisk, Natural Expressions, Nightime Drama, Crobot Muzik and his Analog Cabin label among others.

He has been invited to lecture at the Australian Institute of Music and the Analog Cabin recording studio has been featured in Audio Technology Magazine, Red Bull and the German-language SynMag synthesizer magazine.
