Noisey: So I’ve heard that you’ve been working with Katy Perry. What’s that all about? Ian Boom: OK. For those who don’t know, what kind of music do you make? What’s really awesome bass like according to you? What is it about bass that makes it so appealing to you? I feel you. So are you producing music for yourself or others? Who are the rappers? Death to Donna No, let’s talk about the mixtape you’ve made for us. What vibe did you have in mind when making it? Death to Donna Sounds pretty cool. During what circumstances do you imagine your mixtape to be working at its best? [laughs]
Yup. So what’s your studio like? What software do you use? Isn’t that pretty rare? My colleague’s been going on all day about how old school FL is. So you’re a PC user? Alright. How come you started making music? So you weren’t playing instruments while you were at school? Last question: What are you listening to in your headphones at the moment? Spark Master Tape God
