There are some insanely detailed sound design features rolling through this EP. Do you have any production secrets you’d be willing to share?

I wouldn’t say that there are any “secrets”, per say. In fact I’d love to know some of them as well. I belong in the “tryhard” category so everything is made with a lot of work and time spent. Maybe the only plug-in i could suggest is Effectrix from Sugar Bytes; one of my all time favourites.

If you could design a tour, where in the world would you go, and who would be playing with you?

There is not a place I wouldn’t visit. That’s my dream since I was 15 years old; to travel around the world to see its wonders while doing what I love the most–playing music to awesome people.  And who would I get with me? Both people that have helped me and those that I want to help. It is important to share your dream with nice people that have the same ones.

What early experience with music led to your decision to make music on a professional level?

Alright, here we go… I used to be a kind of Tiësto groupie, back in 2005. So that guy really gave me the spark to start DJing, buy my own decks from savings when I was 16 years old, and start producing. I went to a sound engineering school when I was 18. That’s how it all started. But I never really “decided” to do it professionally. I know it’s what I’m going to do for my living no matter what, so I invested everything in it.

What animal best represents who you are and why?

To be honest I’m somewhere between a cat and a dog because I’m either a lovely person or a pain in the behind some times. I’m not so easy to get used to, but I’m definitely loyal and I appreciate those who care for me.

When you’re working on music, what’s your preferred snack?

Preferred snacks are definitely anything chocolate related–gotta put that sugar in use! Sometimes I feel like L from Death Note, if I may be compared to him. But I’m sure there’s a 40% chocolate flowing through my veins.

The first track on the EP, “Renegade”, takes a cue from the electronic buildups of early 2000’s rave music, giving it a throwback feel. But Cubism deconstructs that beat like a mad scientist in a lab and forges it into his own modern take on bass. It’s a solid track for any DJ playing to a crowd craving some darker, more underground vibes, but it could play out equally as well as a transition piece to a much heavier bass drop. Following “Renegade” is “Didact”, and the mystery of Cubism’s ability to produce gut rattling bass is revealed. With this track, he becomes very specific about his intentions: full loss of control of mind and body. Even as the bass let’s up momentarily, it just signals the buildup of a drop that will weaken knees and make head-banging and natural reaction.

Rounding out the EP is “Third Eye” and the title track “Terraform”. Leaning on his special attention to sound design, Cubism loads “Third Eye” with audio treasure. Listen carefully to the layering behind the beat and the samples used. Cubism, then, successfully places us into a dystopian soundscape where the listener is sucked in and hypnotized. “Terraform” takes us back down to earth, or underground, more specifically. The track begins with the deep rumblings and minimal treatments good underground Dubstep is known for. But as the buildup arrives, it’s clear this track will not be contained. Making use of terrifying skull shattering synths, Cubism goes to work dissecting our minds. His audio engineering methods focus on bringing his synth creations and layering into alignment with his bass production so that both contribute to an overwhelmingly physical experience with the music.

The tracklisting for Terraform is:

1. Cubism – “Renegade”
2. Cubism – “Didact”
3. Cubism – “Thrid Eye”
4. Cubism – “Terraform”
