I love it – it’s been a difficult but fantastic four years of releasing quality music from people who have been gracious enough to bless us with it. You’re head of the Phyla Digital Records, well how does that goes for you? I’ve been doing production for about 8 years now, and it’s been fun, but I’m struggling to find time to do it as I get busier and busier.

Music production was before that, funnily enough, if you can call it production – I was making horrible music on Acid Pro with my close friend and classmate, Krisztian, in India. I started DJing in Singapore when I was in National Service, and I used to DJ only drum and bass music. Your set is made up of tunes which many of em’ are your own massive crafts, since when are you into production? like what came first, the music making or mixing? My first exposure to it might’ve been Space Juke by Rashad and Spinn.
Tamil Footwork EP by Iyer What record first got you into it? I didn’t even realise I had been listening to footwork music much before I figured out the official name. The music has to be made for dancers as much as it is made for listeners, and that’s the balance I’m trying to get right. I have my own take on it with the Tamil sounds and jungle music influence, but I try to be as respectful of the originators and historians of the sound. I’m unabashedly inspired by the original sound of juke and footwork from Chicago. It’s a really simple relationship – I make tracks, I play other producers’ music a lot. What is your relationship with the footwork genre? It’s also a showcase of some of the tracks I’ve made that I’m most proud of. I did it all in one take, which I usually do to capture the energy that goes into sets I play live, while playing the tracks that aren’t always dancefloor-friendly. It features artists from all around the world, as well as some of my own music – which I don’t usually play in my mixes. This mix is a good representation of the variety of uptempo music I play. I did this mix in San Francisco, early November 2016, on my friend’s Pioneer XDJ-RX. Tune in! Where and How was this mix recorded? Iyer also shares with us about what contributed to cultivate his passion for sounds and about his label, which impacted perspectives on music across countries. Head of Phyla Digital records, our latest anniversary session emerges from the San Francisco based artist, whose sonic library ranges and fuses from oriental textures to the uptempo morals of electronic.
In the scope of fusion music, there is the art of merging genres and then there is iyer.
