Calibre on mainstream music and what inspires him

Dominick Martin—AKA Calibre—has spent the last three decades carving out one of the most singular paths in electronic music. (Subscribe to our channel:    / residentadvisor   ) Known to many as a cornerstone of drum & bass, the Northern Irish artist's work has always defied easy categorisation. His vast output spans house, techno, ambient and even folk. What unifies it all is a sense of what he calls "inner space," which has cemented him as one of the underground's most respected figures. In this week's Exchange, Martin speaks about his creative philosophy, his "three-tunes-a-day" workflow and a recent turn towards abstract downtempo with RA's international content writer, Tom Gledhill. The new album, Tricklemore Sea, arrives on his Signature Records imprint on May 1st, marking a move away from the rigid protocols of the DJ booth toward a space that is deeply melancholic, personal and profoundly poetic. ----------------------- Website: https://ra.co Follow us:   / residentadvisor     / resident_advisor     / residentadvisor   -----------------------
