Nick Weiller, better known as Bro Safari, is a veteran in the electronic music scene. He’s a super talented producer with a sound that is always evolving and a style that can’t be labeled under any one particular genre. From his drum and bass roots, moombahton mixes, and his trap and dubstep releases, we are always excited to hear new music from him. Weiller just released two tracks, “Follow” and “Reality”, and both have quickly become some of our current favorites.
Nick’s success has given him the opportunity to play at some of the most notable music festivals this year, such as Electric Daisy Carnival and Lollapalooza. He also recently just kicked off his Pretty Good Tour with MC collaborator, Armanni Reign. We were lucky enough to sit down with Bro Safari during his stop at Nocturnal Wonderland to discuss upcoming productions, his Pretty Good Tour, and more. Make sure to check out our exclusive interview below!
You are known to blend together a variety of genres. We are loving the mixture of trap and drum & bass on your new release “Follow”. Can we expect to hear a similar sound from upcoming projects? Is there anything you can tell us about what you are currently working on?
I’m currently working on an EP of sorts. I don’t want to define it or market it as Bro Safari EP, but it’s a collection of songs that’s more than two. We’re looking at like 6-8 tracks. A couple of songs have already been released like “Follow” and Zomboy’s remix of “Follow”. I also have a song coming out on September 9th called “Reality”, that will also be on there. It sounds like dubstep, but hopefully it’s a little bit of a different take on it. It has vocals from Sarah Hudson, who is super talented. She is the fiancé of Brillz, which I’m sure all your readers know Brillz, and a songwriter for Katy Perry, she’s awesome. Anyways, the rest of the EP, it’s trap, it’s dubstep influenced, pretty much what I’ve been playing in my sets lately.
You recently collaborated with Dillon Francis on “Pull It”, can we expect more collaborations from you two anytime soon?
Yeah, I was in the studio with him last night. We rented a studio in West Hollywood and got a five hour session in. That was the second session on the same song, so we’re ten hours into a new song. That will also be on the EP.
Is there anyone else you would like to collaborate with at this time?
I mean there is always people that I’d love to work with. On the EP that I keep referencing, I also have a song with Dirty Audio from L.A. He is super talented and I like his tunes a lot. I play a lot of them in my sets. Also, this one guy Dion Timmer, that I just recently met online. He is from the Netherlands. He’s just a dubstep God. I don’t know where he came from, but this kid is just super talented. I think he’s 17. So we’ve been working on a tune also and that will be on the EP too.
Congratulations on the Pretty Good Tour. We’re happy to be able to catch you at Nocturnal. Basic question, but how is the tour going so far?
It’s been good. We’ve only had one weekend so far. The tour doesn’t end until the end of October. So, its been good. We just did a Florida run, which is always good for us, Florida’s great. We’re just excited, like we’re kind of tweaking our set. When I say our, I’m referring to myself and Armanni. We’re tweaking the set… we just played two shows, and then we hit the drawing board. Just kind of discuss what worked and what didn’t work. Then kind of restructure it a bit, make new edits, add more to the set, take things away from the set, but yeah its been good…Pretty Good.
What is the production process like while on a large multi city tour? Are you consistently working on new music or do projects get put on hold while touring?
For the most part, I do have to put things on hold in terms of production. I don’t work well in headphones on an airplane. If the opportunity presents itself to get in a studio with somebody, if I’m in their city, like I’ll do that for sure. Otherwise, most of the tour time is spent whining and complaining about being tired and eating bad food. We’re working on that. (laughs)
We can’t wait to see you play tonight, what’s it like preparing for and playing for a larger festival crowd versus a regular show on your tour stop?
I try not to look at it differently. They are one in the same for me. In my opinion, lets say theres a band, lets throwback to Guns and Roses. If you’re going to see Guns and Roses in a stadium vs. a club, I would still want them to play the same set. I just try to do my thing and play a Bro Safari set. I don’t want to necessarily cater to an audience just because it’s a bigger crowd or not quite as educated on my style. I just try to do my thing. I’m not going to just go into a club and just start playing club tunes. I’m just gonna play my set and that’s how it’s going to be.
Last question, is there anyone that you’d love to do a B2B set with?
I’ve done quite a few over the years. My favorites were Kill The Noise. I played a couple of tunes B2B with Skrillex, when I was on tour with him years ago. Those were standouts. In terms of right now, if I were to do B2B, I would want it to be in a genre that I don’t normally play. I come from doing moombahton. I would love to do an moombahton afterparty, B2B with like Munchi, ETC! ETC!, Nadastrom, and guys like Dillon Francis. That would be fun.
We would like to thank Nick for taking the time to talk to us and his team for setting up the interview. Make sure to check out Bro Safari on his Pretty Good Tour!
