Guest Mix + Interview: VIRU$
Hello! Today, we have the opportunity to catch up with VIRU$, an up-and-coming producer from Florida who has been releasing really good music lately. Over the past few months, he's released music such as his remix of My Name Is Skrillex, Night of the Undead (via Echoes Collective), and is currently working on some new music which is coming up sooner than you may think. On top of his dope music, he's also got a dope new guest mix for us to start off our guest mix series, which you can listen to here:
Now for our interview. We like to start out all of our interviews by building up some hype. So, what do you have planned in the future? Any upcoming releases?
- I am currently working on my first EP as VIRU$. Expect to see some good collaborations on the EP!
Who is VIRU$?
- VIRU$ is just a 19 year old guy who enjoys making and listening to all kinds of music, especially funky songs like Nick*'s Redux of Wondering Who by The Jacksons. I'm just in love with music that can fill my heart & soul with the essence of groove.
How long have you been making music?
- I'd like to say around early or late 2013 right after I heard Skrillex's "Scary Monsters Nice Sprites EP".
We overhear that you have a song upcoming through Wonderlust... when is that happening and what can we expect from that?
- The name of the track is "The Dark". It's being released July 8, and it's totally different from what I've made before. I made it during some rough times so hopefully you can hear the emotion in it too!
Anything else you'd like for us to know?
- Expect some good music coming in the future ;)
Of course, we have to end it off with something casual. So, are you staying hydrated? Have you drank any water today?
- I did. I drink a ton of H2O everyday.
