LWL Ep. 38: Justin Hawkes (fka Flite) - DnB in the US, Virtual Reality and the Art of Remixes

Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lastweekliquidToday I have the pleasure of sitting down with Justin Hellier, better known as Justin Hawkes. Formerly known as Flite, Justin is one of the proud bearers of the US DnB flag. With releases across the likes of UKF, Liquicity and Viper Recordings, his style has varied from chill atmospheric liquid to heavy dancefloor hitters over the last 10 years. You can catch his latest release, The Underground on DNB Arena. In this episode we talk about our shared love for the Liquicity Festival, DnB in the US, the challenges of being a DnB producer in the US, the importance of acts like Pendulum or Skrillex to bring in new people into a scene, virtual reality, and a lot more.Episode links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ItsJustinHawkes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsjustinhawkes/Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/justinhawkesReminder to join the Facebook group at Last Week Liquid Podcast Community if you haven’t yet to enjoy a ton of exclusivities, subscribe and rate the podcast on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser if you enjoy this content – and if you enjoy this episode in particular, just send it to 1 person who hasn’t listened to it – that would mean the world to me.Visit the website: www.lastweekliquid.com/Join the Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/lastweekliquidpodcastRate/review the podcast, it helps others find it! www.podchaser.com/lastweekliquid
