Our third installment in The Lab podcast series comes from the latest project of one half of the BCR Boys iFormat, and takes us on a dark journey through the outer limits of the electronic musical spectrum.

We caught up with the busy producer and asked him a few questions on his new project.

What have you been up to?

So far I have been doing gigs in Scotland and Germany, working on EPs, and finishing my album.


What is the concept behind iFormat?

The concept behind iFormat is to make the listeners feel as if they have been in a movie while they are listening to the live set, so it’s more of a journey and something to get lost in.


How did you record this mix?

The mix is live in Ableton, using Vst drums and parts from my own work.


Any forthcoming releases you can tell us about?

Forthcoming releases, I have are iFormat - Blood Follows Blood EP, Joseph McGeechan - Failed By The Conformists, and my debut iFormat album on Nachtstrom Schallplatten.


Ancient Methods recently did a remix for your track ‘Failed by the Conformists’. How did that come about?

Basically with the remix, they inspired the song I made - I asked the label to contact Ancient Methods about a remix and they kindly agreed to do it. It was a great moment for me.


What keeps you motivated to do what you do?

Wanting to take my music out and play it out, but also my friend Steffi Lindner is always making me believe in myself, she really made me focus on iFormat and has been a great influence on me.


What’s next?


Next I hope to get iFormat out to other countries. I am currently working on a pool of producers for my record label BCR. Hopefully I will be able to introduce some new artists to the techno scene.


Keep up to date with the latest news and releases from iFormat by following him on his Facebook page.
