Here goes one more interview. You know the drill: you can get the entire thing at @ www.psylosophy.com
-----
Psylosophy: Could you please introduce yourself? Who's the dude behind Scorb?
Scorb: My name is Ady, I'm 29 and am for some reason I forget, live in Leicester UK. I am a DJ, Producer and Graphic Designer and am affiliated mainly with Ambivalent Records and LPS labels.
Psylosophy: Oh, so you're a graphic designer, heh? Did you design the covers for your albums (Scorb's self titled and RAM's Efficient Chips)?
Scorb: Sure. Also compilations for Ambivalent, LPS and another UK label: Fragile Planet. Oh, and the NRS and Deviant Species albums! I'm trying to fit in the new SPC (Serious Porn Collector) album on LPS and the new RAM and Scorb albums, phew!
Psylosophy: Ok so you're a producer and a graphic designer: which gets you food on the table?
Scorb: It's mainly the music for me now but when times are hard I invite myself to a friends for lunch!
Psylosophy: Haha, cool. You mentioned a new Scorb album, when's it coming out?
Scorb: Good question! I'm hoping to finish it sometime in May, but we'll see. The plan is to have the new RAM album, entitled KillerBites, ready at the same time so I have my work cut out.
Psylosophy: What about a name for your album, is there any?
Scorb: Not yet, nothing ambivalent enough has come up yet! I admit that coming up with track names is almost as fun as making the track itself sometimes..
Psylosophy: Any insight on what style it will be? Same old, same old or absolute revolution?
Scorb: Well, as it stands there will be 13 tracks. There will be a few surprises and styles but plenty of dancefloor action. I think you will be able to hear how the RAM stuff has influenced the newer stuff. Also, I've got a Scorb remix of Full Throttle by The Prodigy, which I'll be putting out on the underground and on the web and such in the next couple of months. Wow, a freebie!
Psylosophy: Now that's nice!
Psylosophy: How's it been to work with NRS? Everywhere I turn people seem really receptive to your sound.
Scorb: That's very nice to hear! Paul (NRS) is a blast, he's currently got two mobile phones and is running up huge bills arguing with himself! This keeps him occupied while I raid his hard drive for samples
Psylosophy: Hahaha, great!
Psylosophy: Do you have any other side projects, maybe something on the works? Besides RAM, of course...
Scorb: Don't get me started, hehe. This is the main reason the Scorb album might get delayed. As I'm writing this, me and Santos (Deviant Species) are working on our new project, Squid Inc, for the next two Ambivalent Compilations. It's a dark progressive style! Also, there are two Deviant Species vs Scorb tracks ready to go. I'm also currently starting a project with Mike Rucinski, who did the RAM Dub, called Numbworx music, which will be a vehicle for his own tracks and collaborations with other artist including myself. Such as Orzel's Machine, which is fat covert Techno, hehe. Oh yeah, there will be a new track entitled Green Eggs and Ham by Scorb vs ODT out soon on Liquid Connective Recs!
Psylosophy: Your sound lately has been really influenced by Techno. Did you listen to the good-ol' techno as a kid or was it jammed onto your brain by Paul?
Scorb: Techno was my gateway into dance music and I have a great techno collection on vinyl from 1993 to 1999, so it obviously has a big influence on me. I think that the techno element in some trance really gives it power. the sounds are often more ambiguous and open to listener interpretation which can be very psychedelic. I always loved the sound of 3 Point Turn and stuff like The Delta and some of the older Synthetic stuff for this reason. Also Pioneers of Techno like Cari Lekebusch used to turn out quite trancy stuff back in the day!
Psylosophy: So when did you start feeling the Psytrance itch?
Scorb: I always loved acidlines and my mate gave me a mixtape of Juno Reactor and Hallucinogen and I loved it from the off! I was quite into some of the industrial stuff like Front 242 as well and there seemed to be a lot of crossover remixes at the time so I came at it from a few directions, really! Return to the Sauce's 2nd Birthday was the first night I went to so I've been into the music since then.

Here too...
Actually, Ady was the first non-SF producer to give me production tips when he played here in SF. It was because of him, I wrote my first release, M.o.E.
I will forever be indebted to him for his knowledge and awestruck by how incredibly good his music is, and how he injects his sense of humor in his stuff... Definitely one of the best producers around.

and here is one of his biggest fans too
this summer i had the pleasure to hear ady live on our festival.
i booked him cause i really loved his music and production skill...
but he even has exceeded all expectations.
it was by far the best live-set i´ve heard so far
brilliant psy music combined with superb production skill
beside that he has a very cool sense of humor 
absofuckinglutely
his new album will be a masterpiece again.
boom
ps:
in his spare time ady sometimes works as bishop
of east anglia
haha
- last possible solution
- trick music
- ambivalent records
