Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
Carvadeya: ilikemusic because... It makes it easier for me to get away with doing things like wearing make-up and nail varnish!
Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?
Just Jack: ilikemusic because... I can’t explain why I like music!
Ciarran, The Feeling: ilikemusic because... I find it constantly inspiring and it’s a joy to listen to and a joy to play; it really is a huge part of my life.
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.
