![]() Obviously he knows he’s a legend and he’s created all this stuff, but he doesn’t want to talk about that at all. He’s so humble and down-to-earth, his ego is very in check. EM: He said that you’re one of the reasons he started Liquid Amber in the first place is that statement as intimidating as it is flattering? AT: Actually, no, because of the way he is. That was definitely one of those moments. Sometimes I don’t know – the universe is a random, swirling ball of stuff, and sometimes it just drops something in your lap. EM: So do you feel like that moment was a huge turning point, almost like a serendipitous moment for you? AT: Oh it was incredibly serendipitous. I knew he was a Bay Area guy, but it turned out he lived north of the Golden Gate Bridge, which I also do, I mentioned where I live which is a small town called Healdsburg, and he was like “Oh I know Healdsburg I go there with my wife.” We stayed in contact, he came to my house and made music with me, our tune “Blast Off.” That was the first tune we made together, we’ve done a couple others. Afterwards I went backstage, and I just told him, “You played my tune.” And he was very interested, just because of the sheer coincidence, and we got to talking, and just hit it off right there. So that was pretty crazy, my friends were freaking out and jumping around. And all of a sudden a tune comes on that I recognize, but I can’t really put my finger on it, and then I realize it’s my tune, from my last release. So, you know, I’m just out in the crowd enjoying the music, and it’s a tent set, he’s blowing minds and doing his thing. How did the two of you first link up? Aaron Triggs: It was at this festival called Emissions Festival, in California, thrown by my friend Camp Questionmark, and DJ Shadow was the headliner. EARMILK: You’re the first to be signed to DJ Shadow’s new label, Liquid Amber. He also delivered an exclusive half-hour mix of new and unreleased material, check it out below. Having just released his finest work yet last week, the 10 Watt Lazers EP, Bleep Bloop sat down with EARMILK to discuss everything from grime music to Kurt Vonnegut. Thanks to an unexpected friendship with hip-hop legend DJ Shadow and a spot on Shadow's new label, Liquid Amber, Triggs is perfectly poised to unleash his talents on a worldwide audience. 2014 has been a turning point for Aaron Triggs, the San Francisco-based producer known as Bleep Bloop. ![]()
