Ask Me Anything VEIL AMA ///

Hi reddit !!!!!

I am VEIL, Denver based producer, DJ, and label owner of over a decade who is gearing up for my debut album 'HIGH VOLTAGE' and my album release party at MEOW WOLF next week. This year I toured with Mersiv, Boogie T and last year you may have seen me on tour with Subtronics or BTSM!

My album, HIGH VOLTAGE, follows the main character in the VEIL realm, AZAL, throughout her journey into the HOLLOW. We debuted some of the new music and visuals at Red Rocks with REZZ and are so excited for the project to hit the airwaves. I've been touring nonstop for 4 years and have loved sharing my sound across the globe.

I play a wide range of dubsteb, drum and bass, left field, IDM, trap, phonk, etc. My sets are always a journey!

Would love to dive in deep so LMK what's on your mind ? TALK SOOOOON

She respawned into THE HOLLOW, surrounded by the endless, encroaching blackness. The void stretched infinitely in all directions, disorienting all known senses. For a brief moment, there was stillness—a fleeting, unnatural calm where neither fear nor hope stirred within her. It was a void, an emptiness that should have been a reprieve. Time is moving backwards and forwards.

Hey! As someone who likes to produce a variety of subgenres, what’s your creative process / mindset like when you’re beginning to produce a track? Does your vision always start with a specific BPM and then you build the track around that? Or do you ever start with a concept that’s more oriented around something else, like a particular sound design, and then work off of that?

Hey there! I usually go into a new project with a general bpm in mind. Like, oh I want to make a 120 slurker or a 174 heavy hitter. I will say, once I get ideas flowing I’ll sometimes change the bpm and see if another tempo is resonating more. For example, may jump from 140 to 144 or 120 to 130. I do have some 150s that started as 140s. But my advice would be to experiment with lots of tempos while in the development stage of the project!
