Interview with Pocket
We had the pleasure of interviewing Pocket over Zoom video!
After much fanfare for his recent singles, the rising star of the electronic scene, Edinburgh-raised Pocket, recently released his debut Helix Records EP, \u2018Love DIsc.\u2019
The EP features the single, \u201cEvergreen (ft. kloe),\u201d which is available to stream now. The track is built around a joyful and radiant house instrumental that balances perfectly with kloe\u2019s heartfelt lyrics and stunning vocal delivery.
\u201c\u2018Evergreen\u2019 was a song that I started with the idea that its simplicity is its strength. Lots of texture and all based around the piano part. KLOE and I had a chat about our lives and everything we were experiencing, and the song became a love letter to being with someone long distance. The unapologetic lyrics and feel is to me what makes it such a standout. In the climate of house music and dance music in the UK, it\u2019s very easy to hold yourself back from making something sweet and warm with the fear of not fitting the mold, and I\u2019m happy with taking the chance to make that happen,\u201d Pocket says.
Diversity is the name of the game when it comes to Pocket\u2019s approach to music and the EP offers a kaleidoscope of ranges and styles. Emblematic of Pocket\u2019s fresh sound, \u201cU (ft. BRONZE AVERY)\u201d is the perfect combination of pop, house, and UK garage. Pocket\u2019s light and airy instrumental melds perfectly with BRONZE AVERY\u2019s powerful-yet-soothing vocals. Using curiously satisfying vocal chops, and minimal but intricate production, \u2018Crying at Supermac\u2019s\u2019 shows off a sound reminiscent of classic Burial. Pocket\u2019s unique style pierces through the saturated scene, showcasing a unique and excitable new project for fans.
It\u2019s been an incredible start to Pocket\u2019s career - he was named one of the top 25 artists to watch in 2022 by Mixmag (his song 'Heartbreak Engineering' was also named amongst \u2018Best Tracks of the Year April 2022\u2019); received playlist support from Flume, DJ Seinfeld, and Salute, released a remix for Charli XCX and performed alongside Porter Robinson and Fred Again and has been included in tastemaker playlists POLLEN and Altar. Pocket\u2019s recent release, \u2018U (ft BRONZE AVERY), featured in Paper Magazine in addition to receiving support from a who\u2019s who of DJs including Armin Van Buuren, The Magician, Dillon Francis, Joris Voorn, Calvin Harris, MK, Icarus, Oliver Heldens, Martin Garrix, Kryder, Sam Divine, Don Diablo, Carl Craig, Gabriel & Dresden / Dave, and PS1, among others.
