All the OG people hated the term but then it got more and more popular and now everyone uses it. They picked a random word for it and put everything that fit the idea of riddim into there. So someone made a new category and called it riddim. There was a forum where people would put their free releases up and at some point you had the categories all mixed up so the heavy stuff and deeper stuff was too mixed up. The term riddim was just coming into circulation back then, right?
There’s no money here so there’s no other motive. When you see these producers you know they’re making it for their passion. The year it went back underground after the big commercial peak. That’s how everything I’ve made has been found.Ģ013 was an interesting year to come through. I’d just make something and put it up and people would find me exclusively through that. We put together a little EP of things I’d already made. Someone discovered me and wanted to release stuff. I guess it’s easier to find people to release something in a small scene like that because there because there are less of us making it. I tried to make hard dubstep at first but got more into the darker stuff and that’s when I got into making it more and more and got into the smaller scene of the deeper stuff. Your first releases came in 2013 so you must have been 15 or 16 I thought it was cool but never really got it… Until I discovered dubstep. My dad randomly saw this software in a magazine. Yeah before I even knew what dubstep was.
We rang up Germany asked to be directed to the riddim lord department… Following his cameo appearances on Funtcase’s DPMO album and Disciple Round Table’s launch album, Infekt is now set to deliver a full EP for the 12 th Planet-curated imprint in the near future.
The hype continues to rise with more attention, bookings across Europe and demands rising. Deep, roomy, moody and danker than a swamp sleepover, Infekt’s sound is savage yet spacious, twisted but not always tearing and it’s being supported across the bass spectrum as the likes of Cookie Monsta, Funtcase, 12 th Planet, Kill The Noise and many more big guns flex his textures.
Blooded by the sounds of Subfiltronik, DJ Shiverz and Coffi back in the early 2010s, religiously tuning into their Dubstep FM broadcasts, Infekt – real name Christian Fial – is driven and inspired by the original riddim aesthetic. If not by his body of work and affiliations so far, then definitely by vision, attitude and roots. Monsters crew member with six years of production and releases on the likes of Circus, NSD Black Label, Disciple, Round Table, Smog, Savage Society and Duploc already under his belt Infekt could definitely be described as one. It’s hard to imagine a riddim lord being as young as 20, but here we are.
