Stillheadmusic

Formerly DFRNT. Scottish-born Stillhead produces deep electronic music. It sits stylistically between dub, drum & bass, ambient, dub-techno, downtempo, post dubstep, deep techno and bass music. Likely to be streaming Dj sets, or production but may occasionally play a game badly.

Streams

I'm a beginner with this stuff (streaming on Twitch, not DJing - although you'd be forgiven for thinking I was) - I'll stream when I can and it'll be sporradic as heck. I'll be streaming music production (with Ableton Live) and Dj sets, and you might even see me streaming the odd game or two.

VODs and Recordings

I record all my sets, but without voice. Means I can then bang them up on Mixcloud when I'm done and people don't need to worry about muting etc.

About Stillhead / Alex

I'm based in Perthshire, Scotland and I produce deep electronic music under the name Stillhead. It sits stylistically between dub, drum & bass, ambient, dub-techno, downtempo, post dubstep, deep techno and bass music. If none of that makes sense to you, then let’s just call it deep electronic music. It’s been described as both cinematic and atmospheric. I also used to produce under the name DFRNT. When I DJ, there's a big range of styles - I'm enjoying deep drum & bass stuff, like Autonomic style, Microfunk, Liquid and experimental stuff - but will also play jungle, breaksy stuff and get carried away with the heavier stuff when I fancy it. I also play house and techno, bass and like to go super deep on stuff too - dubby sounds from dub-techno through to dubstep (just on the deep side, nothing too crazy or wobbly!).

Everything Stillhead

You can find my tunes, playlists, mixes, instagram, twitter, youtube, spofity profile and all the other good stuff (as well as my newsletter signup) over at [stillhead.com](https://stillhead.com/).

Patreon / Tips / Support

If you don't do the twitch bits and subs and whatnot, then you're also welcome to donate (or better yet, join me on Patreon, since you get stuff in return!) It's not expected but would be absolutely stellar. Any cash I make from music goes to either buying more tunes, gear, or releasing music on my 2 labels.

Gear

For production I'm using Ableton Live 11 Suite on a MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021) M1 Max. I use an M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 midi keyboard, a Scarlett 2i2 sound card and a Shure MV7 Mic. Monitors are Tapco S5s, and a Tapco S10 sub. For DJing I got myself a Pioneer XDJ-RR which is hooked up to 2 Devine MR-6A Active Studio Monitors and a sub.
