Virtual Underground

Virtual Underground : How has this cmnd:Z story started ? cmnd:Z : After meeting in music school and working together for several years to reach a specific style of sound, Parth and David decided to start this collaboration in the spring of 2018. Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from ? cmnd:Z : Most of our inspiration is drawn from the parties we attend to the people we meet. Lots of artists showcased through the various LBGQT+ and POC collectives that Brooklyn has to offer, have shown us that the underground isn't dead and that it is indeed well and striving. Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? cmnd:Z : Our sound is primarily comprised of industrial to rave essentials. Our BPM can range anywhere from 130 and above. When we dig for music, we try not to focus on any particular style, but more so of how we can incorporate it into our set. Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? cmnd:Z : This set was recorded with traktor DJ software and a traktor S4 DJ controller. Virtual Underground : Any plans in the near future ? cmnd:Z : Our upcoming plans include getting our 2nd EP completed and released as well as playing a wide selection of shows. Follow @cmndzofficial
