In this episode of Dubspot Radio Rewind, we revisit an hour long mix packed with late night subterranean house by the French DJ Anthony Collins (Scissor & Thread, Frank & Tony).
Brooklyn-based DJ, producer, and label head Anthony Collins knows house. He’s one-half of the group Frank & Tony alongside Francis Harris. The duo also run the diverse label Scissor & Thread, a renowned house label patterned more like an artist development platform that focuses on talent, not tracks. We got a chance to interview Anthony about his love for Brooklyn, his revamped studio, and what’s up next for him.
A hybrid of decks and CDJs. The final editing was done in Ableton Live to try to make it sound clean for home listening. I usually just give out live recordings from club nights for my podcasts, but this time around I took a different approach since I had to record it at home.
The mix 100 % reflects what I play out as DJ. It’s quite atmospheric and deep. I did not try to go too experimental, just did an honest mix.
I normally like to give out live recordings from nights out. When I do make recorded mixes at home, I have more time to make them a bit more clean, but I still try to keep my style the same. However, if the mix has a certain theme that I have to stick too, I will do something completely different.
I had a friend who was DJing at the time and seeing him play seemed super fun. I had money on the side and ended up purchasing some decks and records to start training. I got completely addicted and was spending ten hours a day mixing over and over the same ten records I had, haha. I finally ended up dropping out of school, focusing full time on the craft, and eventually landed some residency in various little bars in France to pay the rent and survive. I was really happy just doing what I loved to do, DJing. When you’re young you don’t think too far ahead, I was just enjoying the moment.
I LOVE BROOKLYN; it has such a vibe to it like nowhere else. As for now I don’t see myself going back anytime soon to Europe, things are amazing for me here. My label is doing great as well. I built a studio with my partner Francis Harris, and we are getting hired to do a lot of production jobs. On the bookings side, I have much more demand in North and South America, so things are great really.
Francis and I we really share similar taste on a lot of things in life, and if you knew Francis you would understand why it is so easy to get along with him, he is an amazing person and artist. In terms of business, are workflow is so natural, I wish we could have started this collaboration many years ago, hehe.
We both get involved in the studio and we often start off a beat Francis or I made on our own, then build from that together in the studio. The workflow is great as I mentioned, especially now that we just rebuilt our studio. Everything works great, so things are lot easier.
We only use the computer as a DAW and for processing effects. We also use outboard gear at times. If your set up is on point, it’s hard to beat the sound and feeling you get out of hardware. Anyways, that’s the way I like to work with Francis, just seems more natural this way.
Yes, my EP ‘Lie to Me’ is out on ‘Have a Killer Time,’ my close friend Justin Miller’s label.
Underground DJ and producer Anthony Collins has proven to be one of the most promising rising stars to emerge from the French house and techno scene.
Born to an American father and French mother, he grew up in both New York and southern France. Getting his first taste of music as a child in his father’s jazz recording studio in Los Angeles, it wasn’t until later in France that he discovered electronic music as a teenager and fell in love. Acquiring his first pair of decks at the age of 17 and playing his first gig the following year, it was soon time to push his budding career forward by moving to Paris. Quickly establishing himself on the scene, he was regularly booked to play at the city’s most prestigious nights and was soon taking his talents abroad, to benchmark parties in Berlin, Ibiza, New York, Los Angeles, and beyond.
Anthony describes his style as a mix of deep house, minimal, and deep tech. His ability to master this range is demonstrated in the breadth of high-quality labels he has released on. His EP’s span from iconic French imprint Freak N’ Chic to the hailed deep tech sounds of Curle, Steve Bug’s Poker Flat, Vakant, Mule Electronic, Ibadan, Liebe*Detail, Horizontal, and Supplement Facts. On the remix front, Collins’ unique style has allowed him to rework such luminaries as Ricardo Villalobos, and other famed talents such as Lee Foss, Cesare Vs Disorder, Alejandro Vicanco, Boris Werner, and Public Lover (the latest project from Bruno Pronsato). In 2009 he released his first full-length album, ‘Doubts & Shouts’, on Freak N’ Chic, to the acclaim of many in the underground scene, receiving full support from Loco Dice, LoSoul, Raresh, Ellen Alien and Shaun Reeves among others. A highlight of 2011 and Anthony’s career to date was his collaboration with Ricardo Villalobos and Los Updates, titled ‘I Throw Water Into The Lake’, a sultry, at times eerie, deep tech number on Nice Cat! Records.
As of late, Anthony has been focusing most of his time on a new venture with New York’s Francis Harris. Scissor & Thread, which launched at the end of 2011, is by no means your average dance imprint. The label is a platform for ambitious sounds, mixing up a slow and sultry house with the songwriting ethos of the indie world. With a steady stream of releases from newly discovered composers, producers, vocalists, and instrumentalists, 2012 was an exciting year for the label. On top of managing this new outlet, Anthony has still found time for his own musical endeavors, with upcoming EPs in collaboration with Francis Harris under their ‘Frank & Tony’ project, and solo work on his own more house-centric sub-label of Scissor & Thread, dubbed Natural History.

In this gear review, we look at ARQ Aero RhythmTrak, an innovative all-in-one music production and performance instrument developed by ZOOM in collaboration with Dubspot’s Adriano Clemente.
ZOOM North America, the company behind an array of innovative recording devices, has announced the debut of the ZOOM ARQ Aero RhythmTrak. ARQ brings a completely new experience for music producers and performers revolutionizing the way they interact with music. The ARQ allows music producers and performers to create drum patterns, sequences, synth sounds, loops, launch clips, and control MIDI. Even more, its wireless Bluetooth Ring Controller allows musicians to escape the booth and move the music out in front of the audience.
The ARQ consists of two powerful components – the Base Station (AR-96) and the detachable Ring Controller (AR-96c).
ARQ can be used as a powerful and diverse standalone instrument. The Base Station (AR-96) houses 468 drum and instrument sounds, dozens of digital effects, and a powerful sound engine that includes not only 70 “one-shot” sampled waveform sounds, but also a comprehensive synthesizer to create one-of-a-kind sounds. Choose from 531 different oscillator types for sonic variety, and then add digital effects such as filtering, delay, and reverb, along with sound-shaping controls like envelope generators and stepped or smooth modulation. ARQ also allows you to create completely original loops from onboard sounds or patterns, or by capturing external audio via dual 1/4″ inputs. Up to 32 loops can play back simultaneously, forward or reversed, sliced, pitch-changed, and synchronized to the same tempo.
The Ring Controller (AR-96c) communicates with its Base Station, as well as computer and iOS-based DAWs, via wireless Bluetooth LE. It has 96 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads with aftertouch, and a built-in 3-axis accelerometer that generates MIDI control messages to change sounds and effects in real time. For the first time, musicians can visualize their music as a true loop, up to 5 parts at a time. ARQ supports both step and real-time sequencing, allowing users to change the timbre or note of each part with the touch of a button. Up to 32 parts can be played back simultaneously, and up to 400 patterns can be combined in any order to form a complete song, which can then be flattened into an audio loop that can be played back from a single pad—all without the use of a computer.
Click here to view the embedded video.
Not only does ARQ allow you to create incredible drum parts and patterns, but you can also use the Ring Controller as a live instrument. Play it while mounted to the Base Station, or remove it to take your performance to the front of the stage. ARQ comes with a multitude of editable PCM drum and instrument sounds organized into 50 genre-specific kits, and you can also develop 50 kits of your own, complete with effects. Once you perform with ARQ, you’ll never use another drum machine again.
ARQ’s powerful sound engine offers 70 preset “one-shot” sounds—sampled waveforms that can be pitch-shifted as they are played over multiple pads—as well as an onboard synthesizer that allows you to build completely original timbres. Choose from 531 different oscillator types for sonic variety, and then add digital effects such as filtering, delay, and reverb, along with sound-shaping controls like envelope generators and stepped or smooth modulation.
Click here to view the embedded video.
ARQ’s approach to sequencing allows you ti visualize your music as a true loop and is capable of sequencing up to 5 parts at a time. Individual patterns or complete songs can be constructed one step at a time or by recording a real-time performance with an onboard mixer that lets you set volumes, mute, and solo parts. Instruments can be assigned to single or multiple pads. Yu can create up to 3 parts at a time or play back up to 33 parts simultaneously. Also, the timbre or note of each part can be changed with the touch of a button. 400 patterns can be combined in any order to form a complete song, and then flattened into an audio loop that can be played back from a single pad—all without the use of a computer.
ARQ allows you to create completely original loops from onboard sounds or patterns, or by capturing external audio. Set start and end points, change the pitch if desired, choose between forward or reverse playback, then assign each loop to a different controller pad. Up to 32 loops can be played simultaneously and synchronized to the same tempo. ARQ makes creating loops a lot more fun!

Use the Ring for wireless control of all your MIDI instruments and devices connected to your computer. Its 96 pads are velocity-sensitive and can also send aftertouch (MIDI messages generated based on the pressure applied to the pads once they are being held down).
Click here to view the embedded video.
The Ring’s onboard 3-axis accelerometer can be used to change sounds and effects in real time. Wave and tilt it to alter onboard effects parameters and to generate MIDI control messages. You can even link it to your digital mixing console and use the accelerometer to fly sounds around the room. ARQ utilizes wireless Bluetooth LE for low power consumption, giving you lots of performance time between battery charges.
The ZOOM ARQ Aero RhythmTrak is truly an innovative instrument capable of integrating with your DAW or performance software, adding a creative element to the way you interact with music, and so much more. In addition, Dubspot instructor and course developer Adriano Clemente helped with the development of ARQ. Stay tuned, later this month Adriano will share the story about his involvement in developing ARQ. Read more at Zoom
