The innovative genius known as Flux Pavilion has been blowing up our speakers for the past few years. Having a lot of success with past tracks such as “Bass Cannon” and “I Can’t Stop”, his latest album “Tesla” is the evolution of the Flux Pavilion sound. We recently had the chance to sit and chat with Flux Pavilion at EDC Orlando where we discuss his new album, touring, and what he likes to do in his free time.
What was your plan in going about creating your album “Tesla”?
With Electronic music being so popular, a lot of times many of the sounds can be repeated and sound the same. If I get bored with the type of music I’m hearing then why don’t I create some music that I like and that is different.
What was the most challenging part in creating “Tesla”?
Not moving to quickly. I love to write all types of music, a lot of things under Flux Pavilion and some under an alias, but none of those have been released. I didn’t want move to far away from the Flux Pavilion sound, so the hardest part was trying to maintain the core Flux Pavilion style.
Where do you get the inspiration for your tracks?
I have no idea…I can be sitting on a flight thinking about how the sound of rain sounds, and a bunch of ideas will just start coming up in my head.
What was it like working with Riff Raff?
I love Riff Raff. We never got in the studio together for this track (“Who Wants to Rock?”), but I would send him beats back-and-forth and he would be like “I like that”. What I like about him is that he is the same person you see on Social Media and he’s not an act. I have a lot of respect for him because he does what he wants and wears what he likes and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. I have a lot of respect for Riff Raff.

You had some talented artists open for you on your tour, how do you go about selecting the right openers?
Many of them are my friends. When you have to live on a bus for two months, you want to have someone that you can handle living with, so I pick guys who have the same attitude, same sense of humor, and same taste in music as me.
What’s your favorite part of touring?
Everything has been great. Every phase of the tour has been inspiring in it’s own unique way and the fact that my sets have been so eclectic and the crowd in each city has enjoyed them.
What is a typical day like for you?
Play some video games, I’m on a Rocket League team with my friends. I also play Destiny and Fallout 4. I like to cook; sometimes I’ll spend hours making a brisket, and just think of ideas for music.
What is something many people don’t know about you?
I used to be really good at badminton and I won an art competition in my school with a painting.
As one of the founders of Circus Records, what does it take for unknown producers to get noticed?
Be different; make something I’ve never heard before. I feel like a lot people will re-create a track or stick with a genre that is popular to get noticed, but doing something unpopular and awesome is what will get my attention. When Doctor P and me started, nobody liked our tracks and nobody wanted to sign us, so we just started our own label. We worked hard making our own music until about a year later when people finally started to like our music.
What is your all-time favorite album?
“Apostrophe (‘)” by Frank Zappa.
What can we expect from you in 2016?
More music and touring, the more classic Flux Pavilion. I’ve been working on a lot Dubstep-style tracks the last few months.
