Check out the interview.
Headphones For Robots: Who is Hubrid? Where do you come from? Where do you live?
Hubrid: Hello and thank you for your interview. I am a French producer in my 30s, living near Nancy area (more exactly in Pont a moussonsoon – Long Live Lorraine).
My Style → Synthwave / Darksynth / Metalsynth / Electro / Chillwave / Spacesynth
HFR: How did you start making music? Could you tell us a bit about your influences?
H: I started at the end of 2015 and I wrote my first album Hubrid – Prototype.
Far cry blood dragon OSTmade me discover POWER GLOVE. My first influences also comes from Lazerhawk and his album Skull And Shark and of Carpenter Brut.
I also like various artists like Celldweller, GosT, DANCE WITH THE DEAD Master Boot (Vulta ♥)
I also like Wice, Volkor x, Powercyan, Hollywood Burns, SeYSMIC, Darkstronaut, Billy Mays, Perturbator, Masked, Street Cleaner…
HFR: You have just released Cosmic Memories, an 11 track album a bit different from your previous releases. What can you tell us about the making of that album?
H: I love space, I’ve always wanted to experiment chillwave / spacesynth lo-fi glo-fi – a very melodic Episode that mixes synthwave with HOME: Resonance / M83 / Dynatron / Mass effect / Deus Ex Human.
The story of this opus follows the end of my 3rd album Mercenary: The Gynoid Prototype is defeated, the story is over …
HFR: Could you tell us a bit about your “go to” equipment? What do you use when writing a song and which are your favorite instruments?
H: I compose with M-Audio Hardware (Speakers bx8) with an M-Track Plus (MKII) leap motion controller, and a powerful computer ^^ my instruments: ob-xtreme, kontakt 5, thorn, manx 100 bit, memorymoon, pro53, unique, serum, spire, legend, cs-80, messiah, bazille.
HFR : Many of our readers produce music too. What is the best advice that you could give them?
H: Love what you produce
Learn from your mistakes, be curious about any Vst, Presets, Samples.
Experience your tests
It is by forging that one becomes a blacksmith ..
Maybe someday I will collaborate with (The Patchbay) for a project.
HFR: What does inspire you within Sci-Fi, Space and Cyberpunk themes?
H: I am for the evolution of the man. I would have preferred to be born in the future, in about 2 478 years.
Technological progress is great
For now, our body is too limited for space.The titan film is a good evolution of the future of humanity.
Maybe that an evolving cyborg will acquire a strength of knowledge, as well as a greater resistance…
In any case I prepare the cyberwave music for that time.
HFR: Will you play your new album live? Do you have other projects?
H: I’m making an announcement for 2019: I’m looking to remix other Small or BIG producers in the Synthwave / Darksynth / Spacesynth registry
I’m looking to expand my Remix collection and to evolve. I’m cool.
Live shows, one day, maybe…
HFR: Last words?
H: Producers, let’s unite!

BMX ESCAPE: a good & efficient guy for collaborations
