Merka chats to I Like Music


ILM: Can you describe the Merka process of making music? Is it a sample first or beats or a vocal....?

Merka: You are dead right to start with. Usually it is a sample that I will hear somewhere for some reason and it will sound like it is in the wrong place. More often than not a sample gives me an idea or reminds me of something and I feel like I should build something around it. It is often the little things that get me excited, they just pop out and I'm like 'I can't let that be the last time I hear that!' or 'I wonder what would happen if I did this to it...' and then I just build beats around it. It usually turns into something completely different. I never really have an idea of where I want to finish. I have spoken to other DJ's and mates and some have a picture in their mind and they try and paint that picture as accurately as they can. In some ways I'm kind of jealous, I would like to do that! But I find that it works better for me to just go with an idea and see what happens. It feels more natural.
