5 Minutes with Zephirus Kane [Interview]

After numerous slamming collaborations with Tristan, Ajja, Dickster, Laughing Buddha, Hujaboy, Sonic Species, Hypnocoustics, Groove Addict, Martian Arts and Audioform, Zephirus Kane has just dropped his debut solo EP, Rise & Amplify and it’s a blockbuster.

An accomplished front of house sound engineer, psytrance forms a special passion for one of our newer Nano artists.

Here’s what he had to  say…

Where did you grow up (city/town)?

I started out in Auckland, New Zealand and then on to London to broaden my education. 

Favourite city visited so far…

New York for its energy and pulse. 

First festival you ever attended…

I’m not sure which year it was. I was drunk in a pub late one night in London and my mate suddenly announces,  “we’re going to Glastonbury now”.

I didn’t know what or where that was. Four hours later he then told me  in a field in the dark that I had to try and climb over this huge fence to get into this party. I took his advice and it was wicked !!!! 

Favourite food when at home?

I like making smoothies.

Do you have any pets?

We just recently adopted a wild crippled cat that arrived at the house in urgent need of food and love. 

One album you grew up with that you still listen to today…

Back in Black is still solid today!!! 

An artist you wish you’d seen play live before they died?

Hendrix for sure. 

Favourite music genre outside of psytrance…

The FUNK… 

The track you are proudest of composing…

PURE from the new EP  that we put out on Dec 10th. 

Your go-to hardware or software synth in the studio…

Korg MS20, Sequential Pro One, Roland JP8000, Nord 2 – Omnisphere, Sylenth. 

Being on Nano records means…. 

It means being part of a musical family of like-minded artists who share a common concept of rocking dance-floors worldwide. And the pride of releasing my music with psy trance’s number one label. 

You have a new EP out this week; Rise & Amplify, two scorching 145 bpm slammers. It’s also your  debut solo EP. Tell us about the EP name, the two tracks and how does it feel to fly solo?

Rise & Amplify invites you to let your spirit soar at maximum volume.

PURE is a squelching, pulsing ride that samples the words of Nick Sand (legendary underground chemist) who I met at Ozora.

VIBRANT is a driving, positive, psychedelic trip to entertain your consciousness. It’s been a long journey to get my pilots license, so flying solo feels amazing!
