We first clocked Jack Dixon's deep riddims floating around on Future Garage Forum

Example: So Jack How long have you been producing ?

Jack Dixon : Longer than I'd like to admit! I've been a huge fan of production for years, and finally decided it was time to put something together last year, focusing purely on electronic music.

Example: Your tunes are getting a lot of love on Future Garage Forum would you say your sound is Future Garage or how would you prefer to describe it ?

Jack Dixon : I guess at the moment, what I personally love is the way music genres are crossing over. Garage, Dubstep, House, Techno - they all work together so well, it sort of blurs the distinction between each genre. People have described my sound as future garage, and I guess it's kind of stuck. There's some really exciting, fresh original music coming from the future garage scene at the moment.


Example:  Who would you say has influenced your sound ?

Jack Dixon : My first taste of diverse rule breaking electronic music was Warp Records. I fell in love with the early Autechre records as soon as I heard them. I'm still a huge fan of Warp now, and really do admire what they have done for music. House and techno has been a big influence on my sound, and inspired me to get writing. I'm a sucker for groove!


 

Example:  Future Garage as a sound and movement is quite young. How does it feel to be doing something new?

Jack Dixon : It's exciting - it's not quite on the map yet, but it's starting to make an impact as more and more decent records start appearing. As with anything new, it takes time to circulate and for people to understand and appreciate it. To be part of something so new and fresh gives me the motivation to keep writing new material, and exploring new methods and sounds within the genre. Garage is coming back in a big way, so it won't be long before there's a lot of noise surrounding Future Garage.


Example:  We first started hearing about you at the start of this year, have you got any releases in the pipeline?

Jack Dixon : I certainly do - I have an EP coming out on Echodub later this year, as well as a new collaborative EP with Robin Card on Take Records. It's shaping up really nicely, and I'm excited for people to get hold of these new tracks and see reactions. I have another EP with a brand new label based in Belgium called Silverback. They've been so supportive, and it's an honour to be part of something which so much passion and drive behind it.


Example:  What tunes can you not live without at the moment?

Jack Dixon : Alex Celler is putting out record after record at the moment that just blow me away. Infact, there's so much techno and house it's hard to list it all.. Findling & Lihab, Kornel Lemon, Pablo Cahn Speyer, Adrian Verne, iO - just to name a few! Caper's new EP with Flip Disc is proper good. I'm also really looking forward to hearing the Mount Kimbie record. Cosmin TRG as well. I feel he is really pushing the boundaries.
