WeTalk002

WeTransfer last month unveiled an exclusive interview series featuring musicians sharing the tracks that influenced and defined their work. They’ve enlisted Thris Tian – an accomplished DJ and co-founder of Boiler Room to host the series. This second episode was also recorded at Form Arcosanti Arizona with Julia Holter & Braids.

The series is part of WeTransfer’s ongoing exploration of not just the innovative art they feature on their homepage, but also the people and stories behind that art. Since WeTransfer launched in 2009, it has hosted visually stunning art as wallpapers on the WeTransfer.com homepage, curating pieces from the creative community, and giving away one third of its page views – 300 million/month  – to help promote the artists featured.

“WeTalkMusic digs into who artists are, and how that identity formed,” said Lukas Nieuwenhuijsen, WeTransfer’s Music Partnership Director. “In this series we explore tracks that inspire and define them in ways that go beyond the formulaic interview format. We want artists to show different sides of themselves by selecting songs based on questions they wouldn’t normally be asked, to avoid the interview responses they’ve been repeating for years.”

The series will be available on WeTransfer’s Mixcloud channel and you can listen to it below:

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
