1 That’s quite a CV you have there…
RAC: “I’ve been working professionally since 2007 and originally got my start doing remixes, but I’ve done everything including film and TV, and I did a ballet recently as well. I think I’ve done over 250 remixes at this point. In 2017, I won a Grammy Award for Best Remix and I’ve also released original work, which has taken over my life for the past five or six years. I’ve put out records on Interscope and Ninja Tune. Music is an emotional outlet for me.”
2 Do you have an overall musical or production philosophy?
RAC: “Generally speaking, I think the key to longevity in this industry is being yourself and doing your own thing and being unique. If you can do that and find an audience, then nobody can touch you. It doesn’t matter what’s happening in the rest of the world or the rest of the music ecosystem, if you find that core audience, they will love what you do forever, and you’re just being yourself too. I find that to be super important and that’s my ethos and barometer, however you want to put it, that’s how I judge everything I do. Does this make me personally happy? Is this interesting to me? Is this true to who I am? And usually, everything else falls into place.”
