Behind the Music
Dave SinnerWhen I was first invited by Ian to take part in this project, I didn’t believe it was a real thing. A Pulitzer-winning journalist asking a small techno music producer to collaborate on a globe-spanning music project? It was hard to wrap my head around until I learned more about the project and Ian’s reporting. Then I began to see the project as the perfect opportunity for me to express a different and deeper side of myself through a deviation from the kinds of music I normally produce. The Outlaw Ocean’s raw stories are more than just a huge source of inspiration when creating music, but also a larger initiative to raise awareness on important matters very few know about. Knowing I could be part of that and also get the chance to express myself in a way I never had before, I jumped right in.
