The Australian-born producer Timmy Trumpet isn’t a new name, his music being a strong influence in the current EDM Scene. With more and more new releases, the artist is continuously cementing his place in our playlists and making us hold our breaths for new music. We sat down with Timmy to talk about his inspiration, habits and unique music style in an exclusive RaverRafting interview. While getting to know him better, don’t forget to also check out his latest tracks, “Booty Shake” with Max Vangeli and “Trumpets” with Lady Bee.
RaverRafting: It’s a well-known fact that you include raw instruments in your tracks. Tell us more about that, what inspires you to do so?
Timmy Trumpet: I started out as an instrumentalist first. I’ve been playing Trumpet since I can remember, I’m better on piano than I am on trumpet and I actually played the guitarbongos for a while. So making music with raw instruments feels really natural to me. Some of my best ideas have come from just jamming out on the trumpet until something cool comes out.
RR: Do you feel there are certain boundaries that cannot be crossed when it comes to producing?
TT: Everyone has their own taste when it comes to music but for me, I’ll only release something when I think it’s the absolute best it can be. Boundaries are made to be broken and there is no better time right now to break the rules and create new exciting genres.
RR: Is there something you want to experiment with regarding your sound but have always been afraid to try?
TT: I’ve been using the same FX unit for my trumpet since I started. I don’t want to change but they’re out of production now. I think I own the last few in the world so now is probably a good time to experiment.
RR: What inspires you the most? What puts you in the mood for producing anywhere, anytime?
TT: When I hear something in a track that I’ve never heard before it always fires me up.
RR: How do you feel the public has received “Booty Shake”?
TT: I love the track and it’s actually going off in my sets!
RR: Thinking about the future, what are you planning for the following months?
TT Eat, Tour, produce, repeat. No time for sleep.
RR: If you could talk to your former self, what would you advise him?
TT: Work hard and trust your gut.
RR: How about your future self?
TT: Sleep more.
RR: Tell us a less-known fact about yourself.
TT: I’m shockingly good at juggling.
RR: More than half of 2018 is gone. Have you stuck to your New Year’s Resolutions?
TT: I actually have! I always make a year-long list of goals and work hard to hit them. The moment you let one slide, it’s harder to hold up the rest so you really have to stick to it!
