Tell us more about the Day Fleit and Nite Fleit approach. Was this always your idea for your debut album?

I used to joke that if I ever did an album, one side would be dark and the other light, because… Nite Fleit/Day Fleit… get it?! I didn’t seriously even consider making an album because I started producing purely to make music that I could play in my sets. I didn’t even realise that I was making ‘Day Fleit music’ until this question came up so often that I stopped and reflected on it. I realised I’ve been making Day Fleit music since my first release (Partly Sunny in 2018). At the time it was just the music that came out of me because I hadn’t learnt enough about how to make the music I wanted to play (‘Nite Fleit music’). So it’s really just the age-old question: what came first, the chicken or the egg?

The album features 12 tracks that were selected from a pool of demos. How many tracks were there to select from? And how did the selection process happen?

We used a blind-voting selection process to choose the tracks on the album. That pool was only 31 tracks; a paddling pool from my ever-expanding waterpark. I do think it’s important to keep filling up the pools/hard drive/whatever metaphor works for storing the output of the brain factory. Having said that, I wouldn’t send that many tracks to anyone to listen to anymore, who has the time?! But it’s nice to have my very own waterpark to dip into when it’s heating up.

The “Overload” video is really trippy, where did you get inspiration from?

I wanted the video for “Overload” to feel like a dream.
