With his teenage obsession with metal and drum\u2019n\u2019bass, he was involved in the local \u2018Ardkore community very early on, working with grime MCs, playing on pirate radio and at East Anglian free parties. His debut album \u201cI Enjoyed To Sweep A Room\u201d was released by the label \u201cNo Pain In Pop\u201d after some friendly trolling of their Twitter account with mysterious messages encouraging them to listen to his demos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slo-mo techno, woozy lo-fi beats and broken drone, recorded on his collection of bad gear and outdated equipment turned the rising producer into a prominent voice in the British electronic underground. Multimedia work \u201cVantablank Stare\u201d for Lee Gamble\u2019s UIQ label was born from a personal discontent with vacuous repetition of 24 hour rolling news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A web installation of eerily empty TV screens with a running fake news feed in English, Arabic and Russian perfectly mirrored the concept of record: ghosts of hardcore continuum, dub techno miasma and jungle euphoria of the post-truth era. His next audiovisual work \u201cClub Love\u201d supported his release on London label \u201cLocal Action\u201d, an interactive web project exploring people\u2019s personal stories, memories and interpretations of love in the club. For his latest releases and videos Sim Hutchins mines the collective consciousness of club nostalgia, where EDM links arms with IDM in a moshpit of playful audiovisual works (all washed down with a hint of aural agitation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"mubert-iframe mubert-widget\" src=\"https:\/\/play.mubert.com\/0322b7dee0cb48e0c8e78ce3e?embed=1\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Would you consider AI as a competitor or as an extension of your talent and skill?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It&#8217;s a tool.

What I found cool though was hearing things in the system evolve as I was putting the project together \u2013 there were some upgrades going on at the time \u2013 and going back a week later I heard new arrangement combinations I&#8217;d not experienced before.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the difference between creating your regular work in the form of a finished track and working with AI for a project with an unknown result?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I&#8217;m currently working on very rigid verse\/chorus \u201csongs\u201d for artists and have been for a while.
