Ross From Friends remixes ‘Love Divide’ and ‘The Knife’ under Bubble Love alias: Listen

Ross From Friends has remixed two of his own tracks, ‘Love Divide’ and ‘The Knife’, under his new Bubble Love alias for Brainfeeder.

The UK producer, real name Felix Clary Weatherall, conceived the project as a way of marrying the energy of his live shows with late-night club sets, writing much of the material at the last minute. “This was super fun initially, being able to just fire stuff out at the last second and watch people go ape. That pure fury and rawness is, to me, what a lot of dance music is all about,” he explained in a press release.

However, he realised he wanted to add more substance to the experiment. “I told myself, ‘let me try making a tune as if there was a digital character instructed to carry out the very first idea that came into my head.’ For example, if I had the idea that I wanted a horn section, seeing as that was the very first idea that came to my head, as per the rule, I had to carry it out without any judgment,” he said.

He continued: “It might sound far-fetched, but I love coming up with these kinds of games when I’m in a bit of a creative rut, and eventually I found myself just absolutely firing away making tunes like this. It was almost like a total epiphany – I realised I could bypass any self-doubt and confused voices and replace them with this character who was just mindlessly carrying out all of these tasks for me. Like I could just set up this algorithm and let it run.”

“In a nutshell, that digital geezer is Bubble Love. He’s extracted all of that drunk, decisive, hedonistic energy I’ve got somewhere in me and spat it into my music. He’s what’s been the main driving force behind my DJ sets lately, and he can be a proper troll so watch out,” he adds.
